The Fluffy Head on your Dyson V8 Absolute is designed to gently clean hard floors and carpets without scratching surfaces. Over time, the brush bristles wear down, reducing suction power and cleaning efficiency. Replacing the Fluffy Head regularly ensures optimal performance for your vacuum cleaner.
Check Amazon for current pricing and availability.
