Which do you prefer and why?

[Steven Butler]

I've a brush by Prochem that has both groomer and pile brush on the same head....use neither

[john martin]

if you have to choose between the two get the pile brush  ...   the grandi groomer may leave lines in certain carpets ....  you can do no damage with the pile brush

[James-G]

Don't you find like me the pile brush a little hard to agitate with, especially pushing forwards?

[jacqueline boyd]

i have only used  pile brush at the end finish for pile alignment wouldnt dream of agitating with it i believe i would strain my body as tough going try to push forward i have the sebo duo for that its like floating on air that works for me

You don't get carpenters that only use nails and others that only use screws. They use the right tool for the job.

In the same way its good to have a carpet rake, a carpet brush, a tampico carpet brush, a crb, a rotary etc etc. Each tool can be used to agitate in the most appropriate situation. for example a crb may not be the best thing to use on a loop pile wool carpet and a tampico brush will not be the best thing for carpet tiles.

The average carpet brush is the most versatile agitation tool there is though and can be used for most agitation tasks. (with enough elbow grease)

I find using a Grandi brush much quicker than a CRB and you don't have to lug it around with you, only use CRB for very large rooms now
