This is primarily about vacuuming hard floors such as tiles, parquet and laminate. Vacuuming carpets is an entirely different topic that is not covered here. Even the best vacuum cleaner can be useless if the part that touches the floor isn't picking up dust, dirt, grime, fur, etc. Unfortunately, many of the highest quality brands aren't that great when it comes to the most important part... the part that touches the floor, let's call it the floor nozzle. floor, but if you have a canister vacuum or a vacuum with a hose attachment, you can use the floor nozzle to significantly increase the cleaning power of hard surfaces. There are dozens of models. Some of them are the same item with different names while others are slightly different variations, but they are all designed specifically for hard floors. What makes a bare floor tool different from a carpet tool is that there is no spinning motor. a brush that can actually make cleaning hard floors more difficult and less effective. The rotating brush reduces suction power and tends to scatter dirt particles instead of sucking them up. They're usually ineffective on things like tiny pebbles, pet food, kitty litter, and the like. And most of them place the intake manifold inlet at the other end, so only a very small part of the width gets the full suction power of the engine. If you are looking for this type of floor nozzle, which, by the way, usually fits a large percentage of machines from the simplest to the most luxurious, here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. You want it to be as wide as possible in order to get more of it clean floor2. You want it to be as close to the ground as possible to minimize loss of suction3. You want strong horsehair bristles that will help sweep debris into the suction chamber without scratching your floor4. You want small cutouts on the front of the bristles so the brush lets things like pet food and kitty litter get into the suction chamber instead of just moving them around. If you have very good real wood floors you should consider whether or not you need wheels, but if you have a floor with wheels you will want them to be rubber rather than hard plastic. Wheels aren't bad. I prefer them because they prevent the nozzle from touching the bottom a bit. You don't want the floorhead to be completely flat on the floor, because then dirt can't get into the suction chamber. A well-designed block with non-scratch wheels is ideal, while a poorly designed block with no wheels can pick up sharp objects in the brush bristles and scratch the floor worse than the wheels ever could. Look at the bottom of the nozzle, ideally the fitting leading to the hose should be centered and as large as possible, free and funnel shaped to spread the suction chamber across the full width of the nozzle. If the entire bottom of the nozzle does not have an open chamber, the suction will not extend across the entire width of the nozzle. Although this nozzle is one of the simplest on the market, it has a well-designed vacuum chamber that feeds directly into a large opening in the vacuum hose. This means it's much less likely to become clogged with dust, dirt, and pet hair. Horsehair wheels and bristles are designed exactly as they should be. They fit perfectly on the hose of my Dirt Devil, my vacuum and my wet/dry vacuum. It doesn't fit my Dyson hose which uses a special wrench mount. The build quality is surprisingly good and is on par with similar models that sell for a lot more. I rate this model 5 stars because it has a perfect design and fit and was the lowest (so far) of any sold here.
