I agree with reply #12, those turbo brushes are really awesome! It's a shame they quit selling them, I like them MUCH better than the zip brush. But luckily you can still buy those turbo brushes brand new today under the Rugrat, they're mainly for central vacuums but they can easily fit on any Kirby hose with no problem. I also think it's a shame that they quit making the Vacuette, I also like those hand vacs better than the zip brush. Who knows, maybe they may reintroduce them when the next Kirby model comes out.
