Fixes poor pickup, worn bristles, reduced carpet agitation, and ineffective pet hair removal.

The Hoover EB404 agitator roller brush is the central rotating component located inside the motorised floor tool of your vacuum cleaner. This part is designed to rotate at high speed to agitate carpet fibres and loosen embedded dirt from deep within the pile. By vibrating the carpet it allows the vacuum suction to effectively pull away embedded pet hair and fine grit that a standard floor tool cannot reach. Maintaining a fresh roller brush is essential for ensuring your vacuum performs as intended on all carpeted surfaces.

What does this part fix?

This replacement part addresses several common performance issues found in older vacuum powerheads.

Poor pickup Worn or flattened bristles Reduced carpet agitation Pet hair not lifting Increased motor strain

Will this fit my vacuum?

This agitator brush is designed specifically for the Hoover EB404 electric powerhead. Check the model number on the base of your floor tool or near the brush housing to ensure it is an EB404 before purchasing. It fits the following models:

• Hoover Allergy: 7000PH, 7011PH
• Hoover Regal: 9001PH, 9011PH

How this part works

The roller brush is driven by an internal motor and connected via a drive belt that causes it to rotate rapidly. As the brush spins the stiff bristles penetrate the carpet fibres to lift dirt and debris toward the suction inlet. While suction removes loose dust the agitation provided by this roller brush is what actually dislodges stubborn particles and hair trapped deep in the rug. If your brush is not spinning at all, check our Hoover EB404 powerhead belt replacement to restore full brush traction or the powerhead motor, as these components control rotation.

Why replace your EB404 roller brush

• Worn bristles reduce cleaning effectiveness
• Flattened brushes stop lifting debris
• Damaged rollers can affect floor contact
• Replacement restores proper cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q. My vacuum has suction but is not picking up properly. Is this the problem?
• A. If the suction is strong but dirt remains on the carpet the bristles on your roller brush are likely too worn to agitate the fibres. Replacing the brush will restore the ability to lift debris.
• Q. How do I know if the roller brush is worn out?
• A. Check the length and stiffness of the bristles. If they are soft or flattened or do not reach past the bottom plate of the floor tool the brush needs replacing.
• Q. Will this fix a brush that is not spinning?
• A. This part replaces the brush itself but will not fix a mechanical failure. If the brush does not spin at all you should check for a snapped drive belt or a failed powerhead motor.
• Q. Why is my Hoover brush not spinning even with suction working?
• A. This usually indicates a failed powerhead motor or broken belt. If there is no sound coming from the floor head when the powerhead switch is engaged, the motor is likely the issue.
