Hi, what's your favourite straight suction floor head?
Mine is the Dyson Dual mode floor tool (with metal baseplate) It seals to carpets and hard floors very well. I use it on my daily use vac (Numatic Henry Xtra) It can seal to the wall with my Henry on low mode. | ||

I have 2. First up, the Electrolux floortool supplied with the 2000 series. Secondly, the old late 80's/early 90's Miele floortool

Them contact heads are good parwaz, however the gaskets tend to split inside them. Have you seen the old dc01 ydk I got last night? | ||

The plastics broke so that it became useable, it was like 2 years old from new, my fault | ||

Old style Compact metal rug tool; but NOT the rug "shoe" adaptor (clear glitter thing that attachs to bottom of bare floor brush) Here's a pic showing both tools Fortunately both came with my red Tristar cxl when my parents bought it back in 1984-85

I love the Electrolux Dust Magnet Carpet/Floor Tool.
The design really offers effective surface cleaning on both carpets and bare floors. You can even leave the bare floor bristle strips in the down position to lightly sweep and groom delicate area rugs. The carbon fibre grey brush strips sweep floors really well, and the "rocking" suction channel adjusts nicely on carpets for both back strokes and foreward strokes. Here's a little video from Electrolux's German subsidiary AEG: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

For me its the old Miele SBD 450 floor head fitted to the S4/S4000 series. So light, so easy and quite quiet in use. It is also slightly smaller than Miele's current floor heads and gets around with ease in my home.
