Roller Brush Roll Bar Replacement for Dyson V6 (4 Prong Drive & No Screw), Older V7 Models (Not for V7 Motorhead) Cordless Cleaner Part, 966821-01, 966084-01.(4.5cm Diameter)

This replacement brush did not fit my existing Dyson motor head. This may be because I have replaced the motor head previously, so I wouldn't necessarily criticise either Amazon or Dyson for this in this case I've just bought another motor head, which should solve the problem.

As good as the original

When you first install this new brush roll, the bristles are quite stiff and when used even on low pile carpet it will stall out the motor. Use it for about 5 or 10 minutes on regular hard flooring to help get the bristles conditioned. After that, run it on carpet, low or thick, but only pull it backwards. Lift it off the carpet, move it forward, set it down, then pull backwards. After a few minutes of this, the bristles will be broken in and you will be able to use it as normal. It works REALLY well after the break in - I'd say even better than the original Dyson brush bar. This new brush bar restored my knackered old Dyson into a beasty cleaning machine again. I also did a full tear down of the cyclone and cleaned it and replaced the filters. I spent maybe $50 between all the parts and my old V6 runs like new again. Last year I replaced the battery with an aftermarket and it's worked really well too. It still holds a strong charge. All that to say, its worth refurbishing these Dyson's as they have more life in them their few worn out parts. Worth the investment of time and a few dollars to keep it running like new and out of the landfill.

Clearly not designed or made to Dyson tolerances, this brush does not always turn.

Fit perfect, works great!
