The Ascendant Cordless Powerhead works with central vacuum standard hoses as well as Hide-A-Hose, canister vacuums and backpack vacuums. A lithium battery has an operating time of an hour, charges in 1 hour, 15 minutes and has a 500 cycle battery life. The chevron roller brush cleans rugs and carpet exceptionally well. The poly-v belt resists stretching and breaking. A circuit breaker protects the roller brush and belt in the event a large object jams the brush.
This cordless powerhead can be easily turned on and off using the foot-activated switch on the top of the nozzle. The winged foot of the powerhead enables it to maneuver behind furniture legs. A 2.5 amp charger is included. This powerhead accepts a standard 1 1/4" friction wand.
The great advantage of using a cordless powerhead is that it provides the cleaning capability of an electric powerhead without the expense of an electric hose. It is an ideal upgrade of an air-driven powerhead.
