Tornado Tempest Side Brush K50322210

The Tornado Tempest side brush (part# K50322210) is the rotating edge brush on the TV400-W26-U cordless wide-area sweeper. Tacony lists it as Side Brush for Tornado Tempest Wide Area Carpet Sweeper Vac. It mounts on the drive disc (part# K56250410) and is turned by the side broom motor (part# K64542210).

This is the fastest-wearing part on the machine, and that is by design rather than by fault. The side brush is the only component deliberately run against walls, skirting and furniture legs all day. Its bristles flare and shorten with use, and as they do the brush stops reaching the angle where floor meets wall — which is the only reason it exists.

Compatible Models for the Side Brush

• Tornado Tempest Wide-Area Cordless Carpet Vacuum Sweeper — Model TV400-W26-U

When to replace the side brush

• The bristles are visibly flared outward and no longer stand proud.
• Debris is left in a strip along walls and skirting.
• The brush no longer reaches past the machine’s own footprint.
• Bristles are broken, missing in clumps, or matted with fibre.
• The brush is loose on its drive disc.

Judge it by reach rather than by appearance. Set the machine against a wall and look at whether the bristle tips still make contact past the body — a brush can look perfectly serviceable and still have lost the last inch of reach that made it useful.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. The brush fits to the drive disc (part# K56250410) on the side broom arm (part# K50979600). Check the drive disc for wear at the same time — a worn disc lets a new brush wobble and it will wear unevenly from the first day. After fitting, check the height setting with the height adjustment bracket (part# K50963980) so the bristles sweep rather than scrub.
