Fuller Brush Metal Brushroll D012-2700

Metal brushrolls are significantly more durable and resistant to heat and wear, especially if you frequently vacuum high-pile carpets. They offer better structural integrity, which helps maintain consistent agitation and cleaning performance over the long term.

This brushroll is specifically designed for vacuums that utilize a clutch system, which allows the brushroll to stop spinning when the vacuum is in the upright position or when it detects a jam. If your current model has a clutch mechanism, this is the correct replacement part.

No, it is not universal. It is specifically engineered for select models, including the Fuller Brush FB-MMPWCF and Riccar models like the Vibrance VIBUSA and R20DL. Always verify your specific vacuum model number before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Most users can replace the brushroll themselves with basic tools. You will typically need to remove the bottom plate of your vacuum, slide out the old roller, and seat the new one into the belt and clutch assembly, but consult your vacuum's user manual for specific instructions.

You should inspect your brushroll whenever you change your vacuum belt or if you notice a decrease in cleaning performance. If the bristles are worn down, the wood or plastic core is cracked, or the bearings are no longer spinning freely, it is time for a replacement.
