The best configuration I found is a floor nozzle that has a full width suction channel in the front, combined with a microfibre mopping pad behind it. The cordless Swiffer Vac has this kind of set up using disposable Swiffer cloths. But you can get a similar configuration on bare floor tools from Tacony, Shark and Filter Queen.
If you don’t necessarily need a microfibre pad, I found the two best bare floor brushes were from Hoover and Panasonic in the 1990’s - these had a single bristle strip along the centre of the nozzle which allowed for full width pick up on the forward stroke as well as the back stroke. Kenmore Progressives and Whispertones also had this kind of floor brush. | ||

thanks, I think the weasel unit rd285 (see pic) has a full width channel like you describe. I wonder if I could modify it with a thin strip of microfiber to trap fine dust.

Here’s hoping that I’m not just giving out a million-dollar idea, but, someone ought to make a universal, air-powered attachment which works like the Dyson soft roller (“fluffy”) head. I have heard that those are excellent for dusting floors, and making an air powered one should be easy. I don’t think the roller needs as much torque as a brush roll does.

Actually removing the front brush Srip from the genuine SEBO tool is savagely good!
You do need to buy this tool separately with a SEBO canister unfortunately. Now for the rest of us who have a 32 mm fitting you might find this video helpful. @cinema you hit that one out of the ballpark my friend! CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacuumdevil's LINK | ||

Awesome I'm going to try removing that. what a great idea. I will do that tonight. My problem with that tool is exactly that, the front brush snowplowing and trapping hair and dust. | ||
