I used the $300 nozzle after it hit the market where I got a different hose and another had to attach cables and the nozzle was heavy. This turbo head is amazing! So easy. Attaches quickly and easily. And it works just as well for 1/6 the price! In fact, it is more suitable for large items. It works better than my expensive nozzle on hardwood floors, but still not as good as the regular nozzle. But I don't need it for hardwood floors. I'm sorry I didn't buy it right away.
