This category covers vacuum cleaner brushes and nozzles: brushes, rotary brushes, motorised brush bars, crevice tools and upholstery nozzles, with over 80 products in our range. It suits owners of stick, handheld and upright vacuums who need a replacement or an extra tool. Leading brands include BISSELL, KARCHER, MIDEA and DREAME.
How to choose vacuum brushes and nozzles
Compatibility. Start with the make and model of your vacuum, because most brushes and nozzles are designed for specific machines. Our range includes parts listed for Bissell, Dreame and Bosch, and a small number are described as universal. Check the model number on your vacuum against the product listing before ordering.
Vacuum type. A part for a stick vacuum will usually not fit a robot or a cylinder model. Most of the accessories in our range with a stated vacuum type are for stick or handheld vacuums, with a few for upright, cylinder and robot vacuums.
Tool type. Match the tool to the job. A brush or rotary brush agitates carpet fibres and lifts hair, a motorised brush bar spins on its own to do the same work more vigorously, a crevice tool reaches along skirting boards and between cushions, and an upholstery nozzle suits sofas, mattresses and car seats.
Floor surface and hair. Soft brushes are gentler on hard floors, while stiffer bristles work better on carpet. If you have long hair or pets in the house, look for a design that is easy to remove and clean, since hair wraps around brush rolls over time.
Wear and replacement. Bristles flatten and wear down with use, and a worn brush picks up less dirt. Replacing it is often cheaper than replacing the vacuum, so it is worth checking the brush when suction seems weaker than before.

Frequently asked questions about vacuum brushes and nozzles
How do I know which brush fits my vacuum?
Check the model number of your vacuum, usually printed on a label on the body or in the manual, and match it with the compatibility details in the product listing. Brand alone is not enough, because one manufacturer often has several different connections. A universal nozzle may fit more machines but still needs the right diameter.
What is a crevice tool used for?
A crevice tool is a long, narrow nozzle for places the main floor head cannot reach. It is used along skirting boards, in corners, between sofa cushions and in car interiors. It concentrates suction into a small opening, which helps lift dust from tight gaps.
Can I use a motorised brush bar on any vacuum?
No, a motorised brush bar needs a vacuum designed to power it, either through an electrical connection or through airflow. Using one on an unsuitable machine will not work and may cause damage. Always confirm that the product is listed for your vacuum model.
When should I replace a vacuum brush?
Replace it when the bristles look bent, shortened or worn, or when the brush no longer spins freely because of tangled hair or damage. A worn brush picks up less dirt, particularly on carpet. Cleaning hair from the brush regularly helps it last longer.
