Hoover Elite and Legacy Brush Roller
The company did what I wanted: for a fair price they sent me the repair part on time. Selection from their catalog was easy
Not authentic Hoover, size was a little off, but I made it work really well.
This came as a surprise when I opened the box - it is made out of wood and heavier than the original part. Definitely not authentic Hoover.
When I installed it, I ran into a couple problems:
- The keyed end caps were on the wrong ends. Fortunately, the caps pulled off and I was able to swap them.
- It was too short! At first, I thought I would have to return it. However, since the end caps pull off, I was able to wrap a little wire under one side to extend the length without affecting the bearings.
Once modified, I was pleased with the performance. The extra weight adds momentum to the spinning roller so this does not bind up and stop as easily as the original one. Overall, I like it despite the little DIY modification.
NOT A EXACT REPLACEMENT
Brush appears to work better as old brush is visible worn, but it is NOT a authentic Hoover brush as picture shows. Also breaks in brush (slots in between bristles) don't line up exactly where they should to not contact wire braces/stabilizers.
it was cheap and has worked OK so far. Made in USA gets extra points with me.
