Long wearing
I have to agree. The only one of my Kirbys that I've replaced a brush roll on was my G5, which I replaced immediately upon receiving it. The bearing on one side had frozen up and the square plastic thingy (I know, not a technical term, but I don't know what it's really called) that holds it in place inside the nozzle had melted from friction. The bristles were every bit as good as those on either of my Gsixes. The Heritage 1 that my (now ex) girlfriend "borrowed" a couple of years ago still has its original silver brush roll and works very well. I doubt very much I'll be getting that machine back.
Given the number of vacuum cleaners I have and frequency with which DON'T vacuum, my brush rolls should last forever
