Not that I recall.  I only remember mention of Dyson brush roll not being aggressive like others.  Seems like more aggressive would mean more shaving.

i heard that also...that they are hard on carpet....but one would think that on med. pile worn carpet  that the aggressiveness of the dyson roller would act as a carpet rake/restorer...

Over the most expensive types I've tried the one that I find with the most aggressive brush roll is my tiny Vax Quicklite / Dirt Devil Dynammite; it has a wavy line of beaters set into the brush fixings rather than separate beater bars. I find it too aggressive at times compared to gentler action. Sometimes though its better to have a gentler action on short looped pile though; I find the more aggressive a brush roll is on this type of carpet, the more fraying happens and then it gets destroyed.
