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.

Hello Venson,
Yes, the perfect power nozzle has the lux style cogged belt. It almost sounded as if the belt were too loose, causing the cogs to jump out of position under load. How did I adjust the tension?? Loosened up the two screws holding the motor in position, and slid the motor straight back to put more tension on the belt. (given the limited amount adjustment that is available) The motor does not have the fixed mounting positions as do the later lux models, this is a close copy cat of the PN5. All my PN2, PN4, and PN5 you were able to slide the motor to allow for approximately 3/16 of an inch play in the belt. Although this unit closely resembles a PN5, the motor is different. I am wondering if the difference in the motor and the way it is mounted is the cause

Perfect Vacuum Power Nozzle Question
#5 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??
