A question about Hoover brushrolls..

[baglessball]

Hey guys

I'm wondering why Hoover changed to 2beater bars on there brushrolls rather than 4? Has anybody compared both brushrolls? What ate the differences is cleaning performance?

Many thanks

because have 2 brushes and 2 beat bars allowed for better sweeping action. beat bars can sweep to a degree, but not as effectively as brush strips. beat bars are more for agitation of the dirt and dust than removal.

Hoover reverted to 4 beater bars & 4 brush agitators, which are known as the "Quadraflex"

Its a shame Hoover no longer puts beater bars on today's brush rolls.

metal beater bars = damage to hard floors and carpet frames.
