We recommend that this brush be used with our 13" rotary buffers that have at least a 1/2 HP motor. The absolute perfect machine is our 13 inch carpet scrubbing floor buffer, which actually has a 3/4 HP motor, to guarantee it will power through the most adverse carpeting conditions. The outer white rows break the soil free, while the inner rows gently massage the carpet fibers.
It is a good idea to break this brush in before using it on carpeting. A great way to do this is to run the brush for about 10 minutes on a concrete surface. This will remove any potential burrs that may have been created during the manufacturing process.
This 13" carpet brush does not have a glide, nor showerfeed holes. It does not have these because of how small the block is. Check out our larger carpet scrubbing brushes for these options.
