brush roll

Vacuum's spinning cylinder

A brush roll is the rotating cylindrical brush inside a vacuum cleaner that agitates carpet fibers to loosen dirt and debris.

The bristles spin as the vacuum moves, lifting embedded particles into the suction path.

Some vacuums allow the brush roll to be switched off for hard floors: Turn off the brush roll so you don't scatter debris on tile.
