How stiff are the bristles? How long are they? I want to vacuum my popcorn textured ceiling with it so can't be too stiff

I don't think it would work very well for that because the bristles on the end (an inch or so on each end) are a little longer than the others. It works great on hard floors because it lifts the brush enough to suck up dirt and dog hair instead of just catching it in the brush, but I don't think it would do well on popcorn. It's a great brush for hard floors! My vacuum has a small round "upholstery" brush that is really soft. That would probably work better. Sorry.

The bristles are pretty stiff, I wouldn't recommend using the brush on the popcorn ceiling unless you go very lightly over it.

I haven't measured the bristles, so I can't answer exactly, but they are about 1/2 inch long. This brush is a bunch too stiff to vacuum a popcorn textured ceiling. I also have that type of ceiling in my home, and I haven't found a brush that is soft enough to vacuum it. The only way that I have managed to remove the 'dust-webs' from it is by waving the tube (without any brush on it) around in the general area of the web. That will usually suck them off it. Good luck!

I have vacuumed my popcorn ceiling with this brush. The bristles are 1/4 inch in the front and 1/2 in the back. They are not stiff but firm enough to pick up the dirt and dust on the floor. I have a brush from another machine with softer bristles but the bristles on this product are fine. I love my brush and am happy I purchased it.

They would be too stiff for the ceiling. Not at home to measure the length but I'm guessing 1/2 to 3/4 in.

Bristles are just right -- not soft and not rock hard. This should work well for you.

Sure...the bristles are pretty stiff so it may not get into small crevices.

I measured the bristles on my brush at 1/2 inch long. It's a great brush, I would give it a try.

From the base of the bristles to the top it is a little short of 1/2 inch. This does not include the plastic part they are embedded in. They are about a medium brush head - not stiff like a hard or soft like sensitives. They can only be used with E series where you screw them onto the base.

The bristles are relatively short. I would say shorter than an average brush less than an inch. But this prodigy really works great it took my very curly hair to straight within minutes

I use it to scrub a shower floor. I think it works well. The bristles are stiff, but not so much that they do not bend a bit.

When it was brand new the bristles were a bit hard but as I have used it they have softened considerably. Hope this helps :)

The brush is fairly stiff, like any standard scrub brush you find in the store. I've used it on laminate doors as well as my tub and it works fine. I just use it on a lower speed when I use it on weaker materials. The bit is standard and should fit nearly any drill.

I felt the bristles were very comparable to the originals. I did not feel they were any less firm. Also, you cannot beat the price! :)

I'd say that the brushes are soft. The brush stiffness does not seem to impact the cleaning for me. It is all about the ionic charge.

I agree Angela, I find the hose is supposed to stretch but not as long and easily that I would like. I confess to using a small portable Oreck for long reaches and an extension pole with a dust rag attached for high ceilings. I really do like the way the Hoover picks up hair in the carpet, too bad I can't get the dog who sheds to do the vacuuming:)

It is a very stiff bristled brush for beards. I think too stiff for the scalp.

Yes, they are very soft to the touch- a more natural bristle than some I have bought in the past. The length of the brushes is about 6"

These are definitely standard. I haven't found any choice as far as the bristles and don't know that they are offered. I'd be interested if they do offer softer ones.

Hello! The bristles appear to be made of Nylon and are long, soft and flexible, not overly stiff and firm. The product takes some time getting use to. I believe soft or stiff may be a matter of perception, however, they are flexible.
