The Hoover Futura/Powermax floor brush....
along with the older pre-1980 Sears Kenmore floor tool. Both of these brushes have very few strips of perimeter bristles, allowing for cleaning on both the back stroke and the forth stroke. On both, the primary strip of bristles is located in the middle of the brush, not around the perimeter. I really like the Hoover - it was small enough to store on board the Futura's, and the neck allowed you to angle the wand just enough to keep the brush flat on the floor even when diving under beds. The new Kenmore brushes have a neck that is not angled enough, forcing the brush to lose contact with the floor when you move the wand to a higher angle from the floor - like you often need to do in small bathrooms or walk-in closets. I don't like using larger convertible carpet/floor nozzles with wheels on floors. They are too big and bulky, and can't be moved sideways with ease and without causing the wheels to scratch the floors - the wheels are not designed for sideways movement. They are also too big to get behind toilets and other small nooks and crannies. Would love to own a new kewl Miele Parquet Brush! Would be great to start some other threads in the same vein: favourite upholstery nozzle, dusting brush, crevice tool, etc. We could call these threads "Tool Talk!" | ||

I prefer to use the electrolux flip-over tool. I also like the Eureka made floor tool that came with my Singer C 3 | ||

Mine is the... NuTone Bare-floor/Carpet tool. It looks like the old Fantom Lightning bare floor tool. Amazing!!! Clayton :) | ||

Another great floor tool....
...is the Filter Queen "Swift-Mate"!!! Never used one, but the concept is fantastic. The tool has no bristles at all - just a pad that holds a Swiffer Cloth. There are suction channels at the front and back edges of the attachment. I think this concept is ideal - regular floor brushes do not remove fine dust that is clinging to a bare floor due to static electricity. No amount of suction will ever disconnect this fine dust from a bare floor. But a Swiffer Cloth will - and combined with the suction of a vac, the entire spectrum of dirt (big and small) on a floor is removed. So I change my vote! One vote from me for the Filter Queen Swift-Mate - see link below... CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

My most favorite bare floor tool is the Miele Parquet Twister! It does a great job on my aunts laminate floors. Second would be the older Compact and Tristar bare floor tools. I also like the Kirby G series floor tool. ~Alex | ||

The link below should take you to the Air Tec vacuum page. These are the very same tools that Air-Way used for many years. The best tools ever! (well other than Eureka Deluxe) Morgan CLICK HERE TO GO TO vinvac's LINK | ||

I must say that My Miele Parquet twister floor brush is probably the easiest to clean. I have for dogs, and most floor brushes get tangled with hair. Everything just pulls right off the Miele brush. | ||

Favorite Floor tools My favorite one is the Parquet bare floor tool for my Kirby. But It is the same design as the bare floor tool on my new Hoover constellation, but a little different then the one on my Miele Red star... But they do work quite well! Dan | ||
