This is a complete game changer.

This will make retractable hose systems perform as good as normal power nozzle setups. Also improves old cv systems & european cv systems.

Not to mention you can literally put this on any straight suction vacuum if not with the help of some fitting adapters. Imagine the possibilities!

I think Lindhaus also recently made a battery powered version of their PN. Waiting for Sebo to follow.

Amazing product! How much do these cost?

Another question: will Miele offer this as an add-on to their great suction-only canisters?

@eurekaprince It's up to each distributor to decide what they're charging but it looks like right now $599. USD is the going price.

From Wessel-Werk "The Battery Products are being sold right now by many OEM’s. Distribution will have availability soon. I know that HP and Hide-a-Hose will private label in our standard black or light grey(off-white) color. No one has ordered a special color yet. Wessel will not introduce a Miele version."

Looks like a great and quality product. Although the price is a little eye watering. But if you only have a retractable hose system then I guess that's what you're stuck with. I think too big a deal is made over conventional central vac hoses. It takes me about 15 seconds to loop the hose and put it back on its hanger.

Thanks Alex...yikes...that price IS a bit steep. For that money, you could get a corded upright vac to pair with your suction only canister cleaner.

@beagledad @eurekaprince
That's really not expensive. It's right on par with most central vacuum hose kits.
Hell the Chinese Beam Q kits where selling for $649. And we're nowhere near the quality.

I paid ~$450 for my EBK360 kit and that included the hose and all of the other attachments.

@beagledad All right you got a deal on it. But most consumers aren't that savvy nor do they care.
The MSRP of that kit is much higher than that. Here's a link to what most people pay for their Central vacuum kit.

It sounds like a nice nozzle but the price is high, no getting around it. You can get the battery powered nozzle made by Perfect Products for around half of that price, and it's just as good, very similar to the Aerus power nozzles.

It will be interesting to see how it sells at that price.
