Kirby Brushroll

This replacement brushroll is specifically engineered to fit Kirby Gen 3 and Gen 4 upright vacuum models. It is not designed for newer or older generations, so please verify your vacuum's model number before purchasing.

Yes, this assembly features integrated ball bearings, meaning it arrives ready to install. You will not need to source or press in separate bearings.

The wooden construction is a hallmark of the original Kirby design, providing the necessary rigidity and balance for the brushroll to spin effectively within the vacuum head. It ensures a direct, authentic fit that mimics the performance of the part that originally came with your machine.

You should consider a replacement if you notice the bristles are significantly worn down, the brushroll is no longer spinning freely, or if you hear grinding noises coming from the vacuum head. If the vacuum is failing to pick up debris on carpets as well as it used to, the brushroll is often the culprit.

The magnet on the small end is a critical component for specific Kirby models that utilize a magnetic sensor or engagement system. This ensures the vacuum head correctly detects the brushroll and functions as intended.
