Sanitaire Victory Brush Roll, 5700 Series, 12-Inch

Part 60844A is a 12-inch brush roll for the Eureka and Sanitaire Victory and 5700 series uprights.

Worn bristles are the usual reason pickup drops off even when suction still feels strong: as they flatten, fray or shorten, the roller stops reaching into the carpet pile and dirt stays trapped instead of getting lifted into the airflow. Clearing wound hair and thread on a regular schedule slows that wear, but once the bristle row looks uneven or noticeably short along its length, replacement is the fix rather than another cleaning. On a commercial machine running several hours a day, that point tends to arrive faster than the rest of the vacuum would suggest, since the roller is one of the hardest-working parts on the whole unit.

It fits the Eureka and Sanitaire 4387AT, 4393A, 4700A, 4701AZ, 4702A and 4750A, and the C5712A, C5712A1, SC5713B, SC5713D and SC5745B.
