Overview

The Kirby Generation 3 and 4 Pet Groomer Brush Roll is an accessory designed specifically for pet owners who want to make grooming easier, more efficient, and effective for their furry friends. The brush roll is a high-quality attachment that can be used with certain Kirby vacuum models, namely the G3 and G4, which are among the earlier generations of Kirby vacuums.
