The 38342 1.25" hard floor brush is 12" long, allowing for a bigger area covered per cleaning stroke. The brush is a soft natural fill that is extra heavy to support the brush on any hard floor surface, again gliding effortlessly so there is no risk of damage to expensive finishes. The extra thick fill will even handle uneven surfaces without issue and the wide cleaning orifice will capture large debris while delivering the power of the vacuum to the far edges of the tool. This model is soft gray in color.
