Upright Vacuum Agitators

This is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from Hoover. A bearing is used on each end of the brush roll agitator, allowing it to spin freely. These parts are used to reduce friction and damage between moving parts. They are designed for a high-wear function and are therefore easy to install and replace. This part is sold individually; note that most machines require a pair of bearings.

This is an OEM brushroll agitator used in Panasonic vacuums. An agitator sits inside the main nozzle in the suction airflow. It is designed to spin, allowing the bristles to disturb the fibers of carpet and upholstery in order to release debris for a thorough clean. The belt, which spins it, sits on the end of the agitator that is free of bristles.
