Back in 2018 we had a thread on the " best hard floor tool of all time"
Putting aside any favorite vintage hard floor tool,
I really do believe this is the best hard floor tool in production that can be adapted to fit most vacuum cleaners.
SEBO and Lindhaus have some honorable mentions but they use a proprietary fitting.
I give you the Wessel-Werk RD285



 
@n0oxy It's pretty easy to find I have links to the tools on Amazon in the description of the video. Also it's available from essco,steel City& from TTI as well. That Wave tool judging by the color of the squeegees looks like the knockoff version. There's a similar tool that Henry has available that drags at squeegee is on the ground and is almost unusable.

I am tempted to get Wessel-Werk RD285 but for now I have been very happy to my Twinner nozzle. It has been sales hit from all the way from the 90's.
 
@mike811 I've been meaning to test the "Twinner nozzle" it's not available from any wholesale distributor here in the US but I do occasionally see them on eBay or Amazon I'll have to do a video on that one day. It really concerns me that that nozzle has no wheels and only felt strips which would wear down pretty fast in my household. Also the air gets divided into two Chambers which could cause some lower powered portable vacuums to struggle.
 
It would be better with wheels, but those felt strips are changeable and twinner sells packs of felt strips very cheaply.
You are right about that it doesn't work with low powered vacuums. It needs a high power canister vac to work right.
 
@mike811 thanks for the info. When I get to testing one I'll make sure to give you a shout out.

was wondering if you saw this video where I put it on a low powered vacuum and it still works pretty well.
 
I prefer a bare floor tool with no wheels. It's easier to slide the brush sideways if you need to squeeze it into tight spaces. My favourite wheel-less bare floor tools are the Hoover Futura/Dimension brush (no perimeter bristle strips to block intake on the front AND backstroke), the Shark bare floor tool with disposable mop pads, and the Tacony tool with the washable mop pad.
 
I have two favorites both from modern Hoover, though the one looks just like the above, it was made by Wessel-werk, maybe even the one with my Hoover/Maytag of ten years ago was too. That one has the wheels and the brush teeth on front. Different but both work well.The Miele Parquet I have resembles that one a lot
 
@vacuumdevil

Yep I have seen the video👍
I have used Twinner with my Shark Rocket stick vac and it doesn't work too well at all. It needs more suction/airflow to work like it's designed to work.
Twinner comes with adapter so it fits to 35 and 32mm pipes.
Here is picture of those pads what can be replaced.

Wessel-Werk HF265

Another great hard floor tool is the Wessel-werk HF265, normally I'm not big on air driven spinning brushes but this one spins without using a turbine and cleans hard floors really well. I will use this if I don't feel like hooking up my Centec CT10 electric nozzle which is also designed for hard floors.
