Turbo Brush

[vacuumlad1650]

Hello Everyone
Well, ive been thinking, and as always, thats a dangerous thing! So, my Electrolux Lx, and Electrolux L dont have power nozzles (the L has a hookup for it, it just isnt right since its the economy model). Im debating getting an air driven floor tool to use for them. Not like my little Rug-Rat i got at goodwill. One meant for carpets
Your Thoughts?
Thanks!

*NOTE* The little hole in the last two pictures is the opening for dust and debreis to be sucked up

Then you are most likely looking for a TurboCat

Looks like this?

The problem is, as the vac loses suction because the bag becomes full, the turbine brush spins slower, so your results are not always dependable. 
 
You'd be better off selling the straight suction cleaners and getting ones with an electric brush OR
if possible, adding a receptacle to the machine and getting an electric hose and PN. 
Just my  opinion. 
 
I also think the turbine brushes put stress on the motor, causing it to wear faster.  With discontinued models, as we have, one really shouldn't add more stress to parts that may be difficult to replace.


 


You probably want something like this: Model G with PN.

Turbo brushes

I am not at all a fan of turbo brushes. The bog down too easily and don't clean nearly as well as a powered head. I had to buy a turbo mini brush for my miele canister because no powered brush was available. It's near worthless compared to the powered mini brush I have for another vacuum.

I'm looking for a Turbo Brush, but of the Kirby kind.

Similar to that Ray. That would Work. i have a Model G Electrolux here in the collection.
yes, they wouldnt be as good as a power-nozzle, but it would make these better cleaners, instead of just straight suction
Delanymeegan, you have somewhat offended me. I see no reason to sell 2 straight suction cleaners that were given too me. A turbo brush would just allow them to clean carpets better. The model L will work with a power-nozzle, but i dont use one on it. It wouldnt make sense as that was the economy model.
Note: im having the motors in both these vacuums re-built next year anyways

I couldn't have "somewhat offended" you.  I think you'll agree, you asked for advice about adding a turbo brush, a perfectly legitimate question.


 


I didn't say anything derogatory about your machines or your situation, and I also don't know all the machines in your collection. 


 


Just trying to help.
