Who makes this Kenmore Powermate?

[fan-of-fans]

I've seen this Kenmore Power-Mate and I assume it's almost certainly made by Cen-Tec. I've seen it on some BOL early 90s Kenmore canisters as well.

Or this black one in the link below:

It's a CenTec CT12DX power nozzle with out headlight.

CenTec makes all of the power nozzles for Sears Kenmore brand, Panasonic canisters.

CenTec CT14DX

You may recognize this one as it was on all early Kenmore Whispertone canisters. It is also the same nozzle that Royal used on their Power Tank Deluxe canister models but with different top hood.

CenTec CT18DXQD

This power nozzle debuted on the first Kenmore Progressive canister vacuum. Now it is on all current Panasonic canisters.

CenTec CT20DXQS

This is the power nozzle that you'll find on the Bottom to mid line Kenmore canisters to include Lime Green, Orange, White and Blueberry.

CenTec CT24QD

This link is for the hybrid bare floor brush built into power head nozzle as found on blue Kenmore Intuition.

I do not recommend this power nozzle. The bare floor brush has few bristles and rear wheels break off. Connection to power nozzle is flimsy and has broken for many customers.

Power nozzle itself is same motor and agitator as other CenTec heads but it's a very bulky head, that is hard to maneuver and is clumsy. Does handle and clean nearly as well as other nozzles.

Avoid this and get a separate bare floor brush and normal power nozzle!!

Thanks for the info. Here's that PN in a 1991 Sears catalog.

Did you know at some point the CT14DX was offered with a dirt sensor on the Whispertone? I have never seen one, but apparently they did exist.
