The TriActive nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard oors.

- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean

better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 12).

- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to vacuum larger particles (Fig. 13).
