Favorite Modern Hardfloor Tool

[SeboU1]

I have tried both and prefer the Miele version.

The Miele seems to move better, possibly because it’s older.

I just bought this for an old Patriot for $19.95. These are my favorite hard floor brush. I buy them for all my vacuums, even making adapters for some oddball wands like modern Kenmore's or old Hoovers. I can sneak these into gaps other floor brush won't fit into. They work so well I cannot begin to justify paying $45 or more for one from Miele or Sebo. The Miele or Sebo brush isn't giving me $25 more cleaning utility. In fact their greater depth front to rear makes them harder to use. Just wasting money to have a fancy German name.

I have a black one like that gray one. Came with my Oxygen 6997. It has wheels and can clean low pile carpet. Common Electrolux item. Came in two widths and was adapted for the oval wand neck of the Oxygen 3 and Ultra silencer, and Ultra one.

I made a mistake. That gray floor brush lists for $15.81, not $19.95.

That is the exact same brush besides the color ( and I would assume the connector diameter) as the one that came with my Sebo.

I bought it from MD Central Vacuum. Their Bakersfield distribution center and factory are just over the hill from us, hour and three quarters drive. I like quality products but do not appreciate being over charged for them simply because they have a German brand name.

I might suggest Kiwivac if you are in NZ. They had a Premier series of units that had a very odd motor setup. I will make a thread about them later.
