Design Flaw
Bissell brushes have an inherent design flaw with the way the end caps are attached. They are riveted in place so you cannot remove them. Dirt/debris gets behind (somehow) the end caps and it causes the brush to slow down over time. This destroyed a belt and caused the motor to all but burn out. Wound up replacing our vacuum cleaner because of this. This time we bought a Hoover and couldn't be happier. Their design is far superior.
Super fast delivery and worked great
The original brush that came with the vacuum got stuck and the outside of the plastic that locks into place melted from the heat that the friction caused. The vacuum was already halfway out the door to the trash when I decided to order a new brush. Brush arrived quick and the vacuum is as good as new.
Exact Replacement
I friend of mine was throwing away his Bissell vacuum cleaner because the belt smoked. I needed another vacuum so he gave it to me. I inspected the machine and found the belt was ruined because the brush was stuck. Upon further inspection I determined that the the center of the brush had overheated and fused to the ends preventing it from rotating. A quick search on the Internet led me to Amazon and this replacement brush. I ordered it and a couple of new belts. When the parts arrived I reassembled the vacuum using the new parts. The brush works excellent and I now have another vacuum for less than twenty dollars!
I can't comment on the durability of this brush, however, because I haven't used it long enough. I do expect it to last for many years to come, but time will tell.
