CleanMax Nitro CMNR-QD Metal Agitator C283-3100
$44.99
Genuine Tacony C283-3100 metal agitator (brushroll) — grooms carpet and lifts embedded dirt on the CleanMax Nitro CMNR-QD and Simplicity Clean Air Allergy uprights it fits.
The Metal Agitator (Brushroll) (part C283-3100) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part shared across multiple uprights — it fits CleanMax and Simplicity models. The full compatible-model list appears below.
This full metal agitator does the mechanical work of deep carpet cleaning. Driven by the belt, its rows of bristles sweep and vibrate carpet fibers so the airflow can pull out the grit, sand, and pet hair that suction alone leaves behind. A metal-core agitator holds its shape and bearing alignment far longer than a plastic one.
Agitators wear out gradually: the bristles shorten and round off, the roller can bend or develop a wobble, and end bearings dry out and squeal. The symptoms are a vacuum that no longer grooms the carpet nap, leaves a line of missed dirt, or runs louder than it used to. Fitting the genuine C283-3100 restores the original bristle height and a true-running roller.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vacuums does C283-3100 fit?
It fits CleanMax Nitro CMNR-QD and Simplicity Clean Air Allergy Upright (S20EZM).
How do I know the brushroll needs replacing?
When the bristles are worn short or bent, the roller wobbles or is noisy, or the carpet nap is no longer groomed even with a good belt.
Is this metal or plastic?
It is the genuine metal-core agitator, which holds alignment and bristle life longer than plastic alternatives.
Should I replace the belt too?
It is good practice — a fresh belt keeps the new agitator spinning at full speed.
