Product Overview
The Simplicity 7000 Series Roller Brush Metal Non‑Clutch #D012‑0500B is a replacement agitator designed specifically for Simplicity upright vacuums in the 7000 line that use a non‑clutch (always-engaged) brush roll. Its all-metal core and robust design make it ideal for homes with pets, long hair, or heavy daily vacuuming. Built for durability, this brush meets OEM tolerances and is offered through Authorized Dealer Ace Vacuums (in store and online) to ensure genuine quality.
Key Features
-
All‑metal shaft and construction for enhanced strength and longevity
-
Precise OEM dimensions matching Simplicity factory specs
-
Non‑clutch design (always rotating) to suit models without brush on/off switch
-
Red backing with gold nylon bristles (≈10.3 mm length) for deep carpet penetration
-
Dual ball bearings for smooth rotation
-
Direct-fit replacement — no modification needed
-
Balanced construction to minimize vibration and noise
-
Compatible with belt and pulley systems of the 7000 series models
-
Backed by Ace Vacuums’ guarantee of authenticity
What Makes This Model Stand Out
-
Many roller brushes on the market use plastic or hybrid constructions; the #D012‑0500B uses a fully metallic core which resists bending and wear over time.
-
Because it is non‑clutch, it eliminates mechanical clutch parts that could fail or require maintenance (for machines designed for non‑clutch operation).
-
It maintains OEM tolerances for balance and runout, contributing to quieter operation, less drag on the belt, and longer motor life.
-
Sourced through Authorized Dealer Ace Vacuums, so quality is assured and warranty support is straightforward.

Clear Shipping Standards • Return Guidance • Refund Timing
Shipping, Return & Refund Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand shipping expectations, return requirements, and refund timing clearly before placing an order. This page explains how order processing, shipping, return authorization, exchanges, damaged-item reporting, and refunds are generally handled.
Our goal is to keep policy information easy to read, professionally structured, and fair to both the customer and the condition standards required for product resale and support.
Quick Access
How to Use This Policy Page
This page is designed as a single policy center for customers who want a clearer summary of shipping, return, and refund expectations before ordering from AceVacuums.
Product category, item condition, packaging completeness, reporting speed, carrier timing, and whether a product is opened, used, installed, or special-order can all affect the final policy outcome.
Shipping Policy
AceVacuums aims to process and ship eligible in-stock orders as quickly as possible so customers are not left waiting unnecessarily for common vacuum products, parts, bags, filters, or accessories. The live page currently presents this as a shipping-and-return page, so this combined format preserves that structure in a cleaner layout. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Order processing
Eligible in-stock orders placed before the daily business-day cutoff are generally processed the same day. Orders placed after the cutoff, on weekends, or on holidays are generally processed on the next business day.
Shipping timing can vary
Final shipping and delivery timing may be affected by carrier performance, weather, inventory confirmation, order verification, holidays, or whether the item is special-order or temporarily unavailable.
Tracking and delivery
Once an order ships, delivery timing is generally controlled by the carrier. Customers should monitor tracking updates and inspect packages promptly after arrival.
Return Policy
AceVacuums wants customers to understand return expectations clearly before placing an order. Returns are reviewed based on timing, item condition, product category, and whether the merchandise remains complete and resale-ready.
Return authorization is required
All returns must be requested and approved by AceVacuums before the item is sent back. Unauthorized returns may be refused.
Standard return window
Eligible items should generally be reported for return within 30 days of delivery unless another condition is stated on the product page, invoice, or at the time of purchase.
Condition matters
Original packaging, manuals, accessories, cleanliness, and overall condition affect whether a return can be accepted and on what terms.
Opened or used items: Opened, installed, assembled, or used products may be subject to inspection, reduced refund eligibility, restocking fees, exchange limits, or denial depending on category and condition.
Non-Returnable or Final-Sale Items
Certain products may be non-returnable or final sale depending on category, condition, installation status, or product-specific rules.
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Missing Items
If an order arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect, contact AceVacuums as soon as possible after delivery. The current live policy page already combines shipping and return expectations, so this section clarifies the issue-reporting path customers most often need. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
What customers should do
- Inspect the shipment promptly
- Keep all original packaging
- Take clear photos if damage is visible
- Provide the order number and issue summary
Why prompt reporting matters
Problems reported quickly are easier to document and investigate. Delayed reporting can reduce available resolution options depending on the issue and the carrier timeline.
Refund Policy
Refunds are issued after inspection
Refunds are generally issued only after the returned item is received, inspected, and approved by AceVacuums.
Possible deductions
Depending on the circumstances, original shipping charges, return shipping costs, or restocking fees may be non-refundable or deducted where permitted and appropriate.
Refund timing
If approved, refunds are generally issued back to the original payment method. Timing may vary based on inspection completion and payment-provider processing.
Exchanges
Eligible exchange requests may be approved based on item condition, replacement availability, return reason, and whether the replacement is the same item or a different product.
Return Shipping Costs
Unless the return is due to an approved seller error or an approved damaged/defective item claim, the customer is generally responsible for return shipping costs.
Store vs Online Orders
In-store purchases may be subject to different procedures than online orders. Customers should follow the instructions on their receipt, invoice, or from AceVacuums staff when applicable.
