Cen-Tec Systems, 94775, CT20QD Quiet Drive Central Vacuum Nozzle with Integrated Wand, Black

I had a 5 year old direct connect Hayden system that had a miserable powerhead from day one. As typical, the Hayden system sucks like a mother so no complaints there! They are a good system. But the powerhead was UGGGGHHH! So very heavy and nearly threw out my shoulder just to push it across my floors, especially carpet. The Hayden system I had in a previous house seemed to be self-propelled and helped you push the vac across the floors. My current powerhead is the same kind, just a newer version...and it was horrible. So I went looking and found this. Have used it for 2 months now and I am back in love (well, as much in love as you can be with a vac) with my vac. This is nearly effortless, even on the carpet. It is "self propelled" as well....I'm sure not really self propelled, but it totally feels like it! I feel like this is similar to my old Hayden powerhead that I wished I'd brought with me to the new house. But no regrets, now! This sucks like a mother and glides like one too! Don't hesitate! Make your cleaning easier! You can't get Hayden anymore anyway, this is an excellent product that works great with my system! When I need to replace my wand (coming up soon), I will get the wand this company makes as well, their quality is great.

I bought this to work with my Beam central vacuum system. It was to replace a defunct OEM brush unit. This integrated flawlessly with my Beam, and works wonders. I have a short haired dog which sheds like crazy. I have used not only my Beam, but also two other brands of "pet hair" vacuums. I never felt like they quite did the job, or at least not unless I made several passes, coming at it from multiple angles. This brush does the trick in maybe two passes, in perpendicular angles.The construction of this unit does feel slightly cheap. It reminds me of vacuums from the 80's, and the mechanism that changes the brush height feels like it's 80's technology as well. That being said, it doesn't feel like it's going to just fall apart on me, and I don't feel like I need to baby it. Maybe I just wish it felt a little more robust and modern. All that being said, it's doing it's job remarkably well, so it still gets 5 stars from me. We'll see how it hold up in the long run.

Our 16-yr-old Beam Advocate power head started to short out and the local central vacuum dealer could not get the parts from Beam. Apparently discontinued. Followed up with another dealer who also had been having trouble getting replacement parts and had discontinued selling Beam. We could have bought a new set of accessory tools, including a new hose and power head (not Beam brand), but it was priced at almost $700. Found this on Amazon. Fits the old hose perfectly and works great. Takes a bit of getting used to the height setting (our old one was self-adjusting), but we are very pleased and would buy again.

I had been looking for quite a while to replace my old power head. Many were very high priced but based on reviews and the price I decided to give it a try. Having German Shepherds I vacuum a lot and have gone through several brands of power heads, low price to high price. This Cen-Tec Systems CT20DXQD Quiet Drive Vacuum Electric Brush is FANTASTIC compared to all the others I tried. It is a lot quieter than any other power heads I have owned. Beater bar picks up hair that my old one would not pick up and suction is great. It is adjustable to the height of carpet where some heads are self adjusting, believe me self adjusting just does not cut it. Low profile allows me to get under furniture. I had only one problem with it. Brand new out of the box, used it for about a half hour the bulb (light) stopped working. Disappointed, but upon contacting Cent-Tech support the staff was fantastic. No hold time, and situation addressed by sending me a new bulb. I know some of the reviews were not great, do not know why. Maybe it was the vacuum problem. Mine is a central vac system, single motor. This Cen-Tec Systems CT20DXQD Quiet Drive Vacuum Electric Brush works better than original I got my system new. The wand connection was compatible, found that out by contacting Cent-Tech prior to buying. Another kudos to customer support.

I bought this to replace the old power head that came with my central vac system. I didn’t realize how poorly it had been performing. This one is so much easier to push and pull. And it’s sucking a lot more debris out of the rugs. Highly recommend!

This is my 2nd unit. They work very well for about 2 months and then they just stop turning on. The wand is getting power to the head unit, but it won't power on.

I was pleased how much lighter and quieter it was than my old Drain Vac. Very pleased with how well it functions.

I tried to just get this to replace my old electric brush/wand. It works, but doesn't stay plugged in, making for awkward use (and yes, it's the "correct" model in terms of flush vs recessed plug). Get the whole hose kit if you're trying to replace just this part - it won't work well with a different company's hose.

I ordered this in March 2020 as the description said it was compatible with the Beam system. I had to return it as it is NOT compatible with a 15 year old Beam system.

Was good for price and is working perfectly. I have a home cleaning business and go through these every 5 years. Was happy I purchased it.
