I already have a longer one for larger surfaces, but I was thinking something smaller for detail work would be nice.

Most of the well-rated ones seem to be natural fiber, which I'd like to avoid.

Here are a few I'm considering:

1. Bissel 2031527 style

2. Dyson 972157-01 clones:

3. Shop-Vac 9061500

The Shop-Vac option seems like it has pretty stiff bristles and would be more suited for garage jobs instead of dusting in the house. I've used that Bissel attachment before and it does the job fairly well, but I am curious about the longer bristles from the Dyson. Seems like that would be better for light detail work.

The third dusting brush all the way on the bottom is what came with my Metrovac Evolution canister and it works very well. I have that same dusting brush on top and it is horrible. The bristles are much too short and stiff. I much prefer a horse hair brush like that third one but mine with the nylon bristles does a surprisingly good job.
 
Why do you want artificial bristles? I don’t use artificial bristles so I can’t help you sorry.
Could be an animal welfare consideration which is not a bad thing, but when horses die they all end up in a rendering plant unless the owner decided to bury it like a pet. The hair comes off and is used for paint brushes and vacuum dusting brushes. Nothing goes to waste. I'm not a vegetarian but there are animals like goats, rabbits, horse or deer I won't eat because they are creatures I like ( goats and rabbits are so cool ) but even when they live good long lives they all eventually die and their carcasses are used for all kinds of products we use. Women's cosmetics, certain lubricants, soaps, chewing gum, jello, etc. And the hides become clothing and the hair becomes paint brushes often.
