Best Hard Floor Attachment of ALL Time

What Rob is referring to, Kirby's "surface nozzle," first began on the model 518 in 1958.

Compact bare floor attachment

Where can I buy the attachment Kencart is talking about for bare floors? I need this for a beach house (sand)

It made this video in response to this.
Spoiler alert @blackheart is right.

I don't see the Compact and I didn't hear him mention it by name in this video. If you can tell me where I can buy this attachment, I would be grateful. Thank you, vacuumdevil

I like the Hoover floor brush because you can dust walls with it and the brushes are thick. Also, Eureka had a similar floor tool. Electrolux also had a nice floor tool as well. Especially, the newer Electrolux floor tool with the slots cut out in the center for better debris pickup.

@gdc76 We're talking about the best bare floor attachment

The compact bare floor attachment that's talked about in my humble opinion is not the best attachment or even relevant on a top 20 list.
Also that attachment is no longer made.
But if you'd like to know more about the old TriStar attachment here's a video where it's featured.

Attachment

The link isn't working for me. The interstate cyclonic tool works excellent.
It is behind the old electrolux floor tool.
I find the newer ones have added features that don't improve floor tool at all.
I did see a you tube video of I believe a wessell werk one that looked promising.
Just because it has a piece of cloth helps it not scratch the floor does 0 for the nozzle.
Just my $.02.

I like the OLDER TriStar Compacts as shown in this picture over the newer "Lux" style we see today.The Lux powernozzle is outdated,too large,and NOISEY!!!ANNOYING.Use my Volt instead.Quieter and works better.The older "turbonozzle" on these machines is BETTER than the new Lux one.Would love to see TriStar GO BACK to their older design.If someone can purchase TriStar from Lux maybe this could happen.Since my floors are all carpet have no issues of the tank unit hitting me.No more so than other canister vacuums.The Rainbow-with water in its bin is quite heavy-almost need a RR car puller to get it going.

I love the C4 which I grew up with, still have the machine and hose, nothing else, motor very tired. In the 80s I purchased a new one, similar color with the powerhead. I felt it was very akward and sold it. Just clumsy.Yes it cleans very well.

I guess I would also say, wish I had kept it!!
