Hello, I am considering buying a new power nozzle for my central vacuum, but I really don't know which one to get. I have a mix of carpet from short berber and commercial style carpeting in my basement to more plush (but not actually considered plush) carpeting in the bedrooms.
I am currently using a Cen-tec CT14DX power nozzle, the one with a beater bar on it. (Pictures are attached.) I LOVE it. It agitates and grooms the carpet very nicely, and I find that it deep cleans really well. Unfortunately, as it's getting old, it's not working quite as well as it used to, and parts are not readily available. I also have an EBK 340, but I don't find that it cleans as well as the CT14DX.
I think that I've narrowed it down to 4 heads: the Wessel-Werk EBK 360, Sebo ET-2, Sebo ET-C/350e, or Lindhaus PB14E, which is pretty much the Stealth powerhead. (I've also considered a Riccar nozzle). I like the EBK 360 because it is very aggressive, it has an easy release and height adjustment, a headlight, and the wand works with standard floor tools. However, the Sebos seem built a bit better, are easier to clean out, and I like their sound. (To be honest, I don't really like the way the Wessel-Werks sound.) The Lindhaus I haven't used, but it's been recommended by people. I'd really like an ET-C because they are a beast of a head, but I'm not sure how it would perform on the higher pile carpet, and I heard that Sebo no longer makes them.
So what I want to know; what is your opinion? I care about the cleaning performance, agitation and grooming most, then longevity and quality. Secondary qualities to me are efficiency, convenience and ease of use, and other features, like a headlight or a swivel.
Thank you in advance!
