The World Greatest RE Brush Head

[Mikey P]

Notice all the room between the three shoes for the bristles to get jiggy with the carpet.

Also notice that the bristles are longer than the shoes..

And pay attention to the quality, consistancy and "denier" of the brush..


My guys used the XL today for the first time. The next revolution has begun.

Damon please post photos of the mighty from the same perspectives

How long until the brush wears down below the shoes?

 

[Mikey P]

I don't know the answer to that but when they do, buy a new head.

Maybe the next step in the revolution will see heads with adjusting shoes. Much like the AdjustAGlide shampoo brushes.

I got my new 360i this week. I cant wait to try it on trashed carpet.

I used on mildly soiled carpet for one room- then switched back to the wand.
The RE was just too slow and I had to finish with the wand or rake anyway so I chose the wand.
I realize that I'm still learning how to use it but It didn't seem easier then the Wand or Zipper-- It may be faster/easier on Trashed carpet though.

The RE was nice to use on a spot where I only had to rest the RE on that area and it was gone--

please tell me you go the brush head John..

and keep in mind, ANY RE is just for the pitched areas. While the brush heads are the quickest of the lot, their are still slower then a pre scrub and wand. I prefer to wand over the RE 'd to remove swirls and a bit of excess moisture, as well as hit corners, edges, under furniture etc..

What is the "diameter" and material of the XL bristles ?

T-Rex brushes are Nylon, 20 thousandths in diameter . . .
Since they are replaceable, they can be installed at any height.

Adjust-A- Glide Shampoo are 22

The nylon shampoo brushes we sell are all 28 thousandths.

good question.


I'll ask.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Looks like you could shim the brush segments as they wore down?

Yes I got the brush head for the 360i.
I already have the non brush head HOSS.

I was really happy to have 360i BH in my arsenal today. Used it on a trashed rug for the increased agitation and finished with the wand like you explained.

Saved my biceps from pain of scrubbing.

I think we will still get a fair amount of agitation even after the brush has worn to or even a little below the vacuum heads.

The (yes, light) weight of the 360i should cause the head to sink down and continue to agitate.

I believe this will be especially true on thick, plush carpet.

I do think the agitation on CGD will be adversely effected when the brushes wear, just because the head doesn't sink a whole lot on CGD.

I don't use my RotoVacs very much on CGD anyway. Not that it can't do it, it's just SLOW if dealing with larger open spaces.

This is my 1.3 year old brush head..

Interesting how the brush length is shorter next to the shoe.

And longer back away from the shoe.

Maybe due to more flexing of the bristles.

Terribly interesting
