Venson. If that was the case then the Hoover Slalom would have failed the pick up test - it too has a suction dial on the bottom similar to Electrolux suction valve dials and the Slalom picked up perfectly. The video showed that whilst the Electrolux picked up practically everything, only a couple of flecks were left behind. I dont doubt the power of the Professional but I do agree with you, the drum roll isn't particularly effective - the brush roll strips themselves are very thin in height compared to the Dyson and the Hoover.

Perhaps a beater bar/two would assist the brush roll to go from Winner? to Winner!

Absolutely Carmine, but then again even if Electrolux added longer bristles I'm sure the performance could have been better. Even with brushes set in a chevron design without beaters added, performance can be better.
