Victor v9 tub vac with powerhead

[finnflo8985]

Hey all, thought I'd post this here if anybody else has done similar. I recently acquired a dupro powerhead to go with my vacuums. I've been using a extra power cable to power it. Seems to do a great job

Looks like a solid power head

It is nice to use, has a nice rumble on the carpet. I have a video of it working on my channel of the same name

Can you get replacement brush rolls and belts for that?

I haven't looked into the brushroll but I know I can get belts for it. The one it came with fitted seems to be fine and I'm sure I could measure and find one if needs be.

I hope you are right. I have basically parked my beautiful silent Samsung Quiet Jet for lack of a brush roll for the PH90 power nozzle and now I have to shut down the Electrolux Ultrasilencer for the same reason. Major bummer. Anyone who has one of those Technica power nozzles that were sold with Vortech Force and some early Italian water filtration vacuums are SOL now too.

The nozzle is brand new so the brushes are lovely and long, I've found a Australian company that would ship a belt albeit for a little mark up to get it here. There's a few Aussie websites that sell the technica parts I think. I did look at trying to get one shipped here for my vacs but nowhere would ship one.

Cheesewonton, the Tecnica brushroll is still available through Hibbert International here in Canada.

Also, for the Samsung powerhead, if it's the first one with the metal bottom plate that looks like a GE/Filter Queen copy, the Trendvac/Watermatic Filter Magic powerhead brushroll should fit. This particular one doesn't come with the end caps, so it would be ideal for your use if the endcaps are different on the Samsung version.

Finnflo - Miele did use the smaller Dupro powerhead years ago, on the 1980's models. Does Miele still stock a belt for it? Even if they don't, surely a Miele dealer out there somewhere would know what belt to substitute for the genuine belt and be able to sell you that.

Yes, the PH90 outwardly looks like a Filter Queen / GE power nozzle but the Samsung brush roll is a different length than either Filter Queen brush roll, 12 1/2 inches long. F-Q brush rolls are either 12 inches or 13 inches long. I have test fit upteen different brush rolls in the PH90. The closest I came was the brush roll from a Riccar Ultralite but it was just an eight inch too short and the bearings were a different size so the F-Q end caps wouldn't fit over the Riccar bearings. Still looking for something that might fit though.

I will look at the Filter Magic brush roll linked but buying from Canada is awfully expensive. I just paid UPS $85 clams for the tariff on some stuff I bought from Superior Vacuum in Calgary. That hurt ! Thank you ( not ! ) Jupiter ( the orange colored gas giant ).

The Filter Magic brush roll with no end caps is out of stock.

I don't think I've ever seen that one, do you mean the small power head that's a wessel werk design that numatic also used like this:

Another video featuring the head that came to mind,it's a very old design like the dupro

Some early 1980s Miele canisters sold in the US had a nozzle that looked an awful lot like that Dupro power nozzle. I would have to luck out and find a photo of one on ebay to compare, and they don't turn up there very often.

Sears sold that same Weasel Work power nozzle with a version of the Magic Blue canister. I have one out in the garage.

Must be quite rare, I've never seen one with that nozzle before

Every once in a while one shows up on ebay.
