Powered Hand Brush

Help me choose a vacuum

Description

A vacuum cleaner's powered hand brush or powered hand tool is a motorized brush (turbo brush) that can be used to pick up pet hair from upholstery and other cloth surfaces or carpet.  Dog hair and cat hair are typical examples.  However, a powered brush can also pick up human hair.  It can also come in handy for vacuuming stairs and car interiors.

Pet Hair

The usual upholstery attachments might not be effective in removing some types of hair.  You might need a vacuum cleaner that includes a powered hand brush.  This attachment consists of a revolving or moving brush that helps retrieve and guide the hair toward the vacuum cleaner's suction flow.
