What is the difference between air driven and electric central vacuum carpet nozzles?
Air driven carper nozzles, also referred to as “Turbo” or “Turbine” nozzles run solely on the suction of your central vacuum. Being that this type of nozzle does not have a motor to continuously drive it, it is not as strong as an electric carpet nozzle and should only be used on bare floors or low pile carpeting and area rugs. An electric nozzle has an electric motor which constantly drives the belt and brush roller for a much deeper clean. Electric carpet nozzles should be used on medium to high pile carpeting or when pet hair is a concern.
