Quick Parts Summary

This replacement metal brush roll is engineered to exact factory specifications for specific lightweight cordless upright vacuum platforms.

Verified Fitment and Equipment Compatibility

The D012-2300 steel agitator assembly is specifically designed to fit a specific group of lightweight, cordless vacuum models from major commercial and residential brands. Because manufacturers often change internal configurations across different model lines, you must confirm that your machine is listed below before installing a new brush roll.

This assembly is verified to fit the following battery-powered models:

• CleanMax: ZM-800 cordless uprights
• Riccar: R10CV and R10CV.6 cordless ultralite series
• Simplicity: S10CV and S10CV.6 cordless series
• Tornado: 97300 commercial battery-powered vacuums

Component Wear and Maintenance Guidance

As a major wear component, the brush roll undergoes continuous friction during operation. Over time, contact with carpet backing wears down the stiff, white, crimped bristles, reducing the machine’s ability to sweep up dust, hair, and fine particulate matter.

Regularly check your agitator for these common signs of physical wear or failure:

• Bristle Wear: Shorter or soft bristles fail to lift carpet fibers, reducing suction efficiency and leaving surface debris behind.
• Bearing Drag: Debris, threads, or hair wrapped tightly around the end caps can bind the bearings, overloading the cordless drive motor and shortening battery runtimes.
• Vibration: A bent steel barrel or unevenly worn bristle strips can cause severe vibration, which can damage the vacuum’s lower housing and drive belt over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I confirm whether this part fits my machine?

Locate the silver manufacturer data label on the bottom or back of your vacuum cleaner. Verify that your machine model matches one of the approved configurations, such as the CleanMax ZM-800, Riccar R10CV, Simplicity S10CV, or Tornado 97300.

2. Do I need the machine serial number before ordering?

While the model number is generally sufficient for the D012-2300 assembly, cross-referencing your serial number helps confirm if your machine has undergone any mid-generation production changes, ensuring a precise match for the bearing layout.

3. What are the benefits of a steel brush roll over a wooden one?

The steel core assembly provides superior rigidity and structural stability under heavy mechanical stress. It prevents warping or fracturing when striking hard objects and maintains exact rotational balance over extended commercial use.

4. Does this agitator assembly include replacement bearings?

This product comes as a complete factory-specified assembly featuring the steel barrel and white crimped bristles. Check your user manual or contact us to verify if extra end caps or side bearing clips are required for your specific repair.

5. What details should I send Classic Vacuum to check compatibility?

Please send us the exact brand of your vacuum, the model number printed on the machine housing, and, if available, the manufacturer's part number from your original manual.
