Those wooden brushrolls
work well. But, they do not have a beater bar, they are NOT good in older, METAL Convertibles. You'll certainly notice a difference in the sound. Is it a NEW belt? Is it going in the correct direction? Is it a genuine HOOVER belt? These might seem silly..... but sometimes people aren't sure about these thingsJust trying to help.

I use a CWP in my Hoover model 66. There is some extra load on the motor from the additional bristles - but - the current 'convertible' (the Commercial Hoover) has a genuine 4 row brush in it, and puts the same drag on the motor.
Personally, I realize that the beater bar is far more effective on low pile carpets without a pad underneath them. The pad of a wall to wall carpet makes the beating action much less. The 4 row brush sweeps very well in my opinion and it certainly is quieter. I do not think that the heat from the belt and a CWP brush will hurt the motor. After all, the heat at the point of contact between the commutator and carbon brushes is over 500 degrees. | ||

HooverCelebrity, that is certainly useful information you provided, especially about the color of the bristles. Now I know why the later Convertibles have red bristles and the earlier ones were equipped with black. As for bristle replacement, it now becomes a challenge of where to find black bristles. | ||

Personally,
I think CWP brush rolls are great! They really quiet down the later plastic based convertibles. As an added bonus we toured CWP at this year’s VCCC convention. A lot of hard work goes into making brush rolls. All VCCC members received a free brush roll. We had a lot of fun touring the factory! | ||

Joe
I remember meeting you. Guess I didn't look your profile closely, before I posted. The convertible that you have pictured is very close to the one my mom purchased at Sears around 1991. She had to ask for the attachments because they were purchase separately. I believe she purchased the display model because I don't remember a box or having to assemble anything.

Joe,
You are correct on the year. Serial numbers don’t lie. It was somewhere in that time frame of 90, 91, 92. I remember mom purchasing the convertible because my parent’s had just purchased ten acres of land. My parent’s had also purchased a used single wide trailer home that needed a lot of cleaning. The A bag in the convertible filled up quickly. Anyway, Glad you like the porta power. And that it works well for you. Kenny | ||

How stiff are the bristles on a CWP vs. a genuine Hoover 4-brush roller? | ||

The probably make them for Convertibles because Hoover still makes the Guardsman models. I'm sure if Hoover discontinued them parts would dry up pretty quick. Just my two cents. Nicholas | ||

How can I tell if a Convertible is "high performance" or not? How good does a CWP or genuine Hoover 4-brush brush roller work on low pile carpet?
