After - only 6 years - came off my AEG-floor nozzle to in items and in my search for a replacement, I chose this nozzle, not least because of the attractive price. I was pleasantly surprised, the nozzle is handled better than the original (on the bottom there is a wide roll of hard rubber) and it glides wonderfully while sucking on the floors and refreshes carpets on very nicely. Even an adapter was attached so that they can be mounted to other suckers! Conclusion: If I had known that there is this nozzle, I would not have labored for years with the old nozzle.
