COMPACT!!! The short bristles get the airflow down next to the floor where it can pick up fine dust, sand and grit! I have about every kind of floor brush ever thought up, and overall, Compact is the very best. |

Wessel-werk HFT265 a very unique tool it has a brushroll that is spun by the incoming air, no turbine in it so the flow isn't restricted by that. A sweeping action of soft bristles and squeegees, two raised vents for flow and objects. It's pretty neat and one of my go to tools.
Lindhaus wheeled floor tool. It's kind of odd as it has dead space towards the front of it but it still picks up against edges rather well. It uses a single strip of brushes and a squeegee with airpaths on both sides of the strips. it glides over surfaces smoothly and works decently on my rugs too. Of course there's nothing wrong with just a standard like 10" tool as long as it's got decent bristles and either a raised center or a castle cut. |

Two recommendations: Hoover’s bare floor brush from the 1980’s (Dimension/Futura model) with the central row of bristles for effective pick-up on the front-stroke and the back-stroke.
Also - any bare floor brush that features a micro-fibre dustpad to mop up fine micro static dust from the floor. Riccar/Simplicity, Filter Queen and Shark offer such bare floor nozzles. |

EVacuum’s online store has it. See the link below. You may need to ask them for the Hoover WindTunnel upright version which does not have the classic nipple on the neck. There were two versions available - with or without the locking nipple.

Twinner is my ultimate favorite for the hard floors. It doesn't snowplow at all, it's very thin and moves easily to all directions. It uses glider pads instead of wheels. Possibly not the best option for the crevice test. It fits to 35 and 32 millimeter pipes. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Mike811's LINK |

I prefer the Kirby pre-G floor nozzles. The brush sticks down just enough to scrub lightly and it swivels about to get under low furniture. I do not like the post-G ones with the wheels. |

I think the Wessel-werk multi-jointed tool which Miele reliables the parquet twister is my favorite.
I really like the Wessel-werk double squeegee bike found on the old Royal backpacks the monowheel switchable bare floor tool that Miele used is one of my favorites as well. The Sebo parquet tool that comes with the Felix is amazing after you remove the front brush strip. |

The brush is spun by the incoming air it has two raised areas on either sides of the nozzle and an opening on top of it these vents create a concentrated airstream which rotates the brush, most likely by pushing on the squeegees on the roller. It's unique and effective, definitely one of my favorites but high powered machines make it kinda noisy so i often end up opening up a suction relief valve.

I don't see the Compact and I didn't hear him mention it by name in this video. If you can tell me where I can buy this attachment, I would be grateful. Thank you, vacuumdevil |

@gdc76 We're talking about the best bare floor attachment
The compact bare floor attachment that's talked about in my humble opinion is not the best attachment or even relevant on a top 20 list. Also that attachment is no longer made. But if you'd like to know more about the old TriStar attachment here's a video where it's featured. |

The link isn't working for me. The interstate cyclonic tool works excellent.
It is behind the old electrolux floor tool. I find the newer ones have added features that don't improve floor tool at all. I did see a you tube video of I believe a wessell werk one that looked promising. Just because it has a piece of cloth helps it not scratch the floor does 0 for the nozzle. Just my $.02. Les |
