[QUOTE="sebo_fan, post: 282310, member: 851"] I don't think canister models for use on carpet will have a PN facility unless they become fashionable. Brands have yet to be able to offer a lightweight PN motor head in the EU and the UK are still upright-happy for the moment. Having said that my Electrolux Excellio has a plug on the body for an additional PN and its total power rating is 1300 watts. As you know the Excellio is no longer made. Air driven full size turbo brushes in Europe weren't on the market until the early 1990s, Steve. SEBO and Miele used the Wessel Werk design (photo shown), as did Vax with their Powa canister tub and a few other brands such as Morphy Richards. Electrolux and Hoover also offered it - and those brands offered them in other EU countries on cylinder vacs where uprights didn't take the majority of sales. It isn't the fact that just because a vacuum cleaner's motor is capped that it can be assumed an air driven turbo brush will slow down. My own Numatic James 800 watt vac had ferocious speed with a Hoover air driven turbo brush fitted, even when the bag was 3/4s full and had to be replaced - constant power is possible due to the airflow and sealed suction, rather than air leaking every where. The EU law may well ensure that sealed suction and sealed airflow are at the top of the redesign processes that brands have to ensure for increased power, especially where floor heads like air driven turbo brushes are concerned.
