Perfect Vacuum Power Nozzle Question
Original Message   Aug 24, 2008 9:44 pm

In regards to the power nozzle on the Perfect Canister, what I'm finding with it compared to the Lux PN5, or any Lux, is that the Perfect is much noisier?? At first I thought there wasn't enough tension on the belt, so I adjusted that, it made it worse. So, back off on the tension. Tried a different belt, no luck. Tried a different brush roll, Lux and Cleveland Woods brush, no luck. As long as the brush is not contacting the carpet, it runs smoothly, but as soon as it touches, especially low pile, and on the back stroke, it sounds like Tony The Tiger roaring. It rattles.  The brush roll is locked into place. Have others encountered this same issue??

Hi,

I have a Perfect Vacuum Cleaner with power nozzle. It is noisy and I too thought maybe something was loose or not tightned properly. I have used it for several months. I actually think it might be due to the extra stiff brushes. I like the way it grooms the carpet and fits under the bed without the front tipping up. I really don't think there is a problem.

Sincerely,

Bud

Bud,

The belt on mine had a little too much slack, so I adjusted that.  I do think you have a point with the brush stiffness.  I changed mine to a Cleveland Woods brush, my next move is to try the OEM Lux one.  The  pn motor in the Perfect I believe is the same as what Lux is using at the moment as well.  It is a different motor than what Lux used years ago, which probably accounts for the noise difference as well.
