New Turbo Brush?

[ocscott3085]

Hi All,
I've been using my old Dyson DC17's turbo brush with my Hide a Hose central vac system to clean the insane amount of dog hair from my furniture (see borrowed pic from Ebay below). Well, the brush is about 7 years old and sounds like it's about to fall apart. Can anyone recommend a newer turbo brush that would fit on a standard central vac hose? I have a Dyson DC41 but the turbo brush that came with that machine is pure garbage in comparison to the brush from the DC17. Thanks for any words of wisdom!

Why not get another of the same style pictured above?

Excellent question. I may end up doing so but before buying I wanted to see if there was something better out there that I had been missing. That and I tend to avoid Ebay purchases whenever possible. I've seen the Rugrat but that looks a bit too bulky. I guess the best solution would be to keep my dog from getting up on the furniture but it's a losing battle.

Try the Wessel Werk HEB160; its electric powered & no turbines to clog[this post was last edited: 1/25/2014-17:59]

Dyson's are unbeatable for turbo brushes, just like how Henry is unbeatable for DIY use

Well you would say that - being the Dyson fan of course - but I don't think the UK has ever had a small electric turbo brush yet - I'd like to try but then I think the added weight would go against it.

I would say they are the best for tools as well particularly the turbo brush

Cheers Mike
I do genuinely think they are great tools, they speed up etc.
It would be nice, yes for a motorised mini Power head. I guess the only thing similar you can get to that would be those Electrolux Workzones with the performance of uprights and clean as well as if not better than DC04's, DD Handy's or those new Hoover Jovis' handhelds with the miini or you can get the corded version which I find quite fascinating
