Given the potential risk of small particulates released by the abrading of carbon fiber brush filaments, I'd rather avoid them. Please let me know which models (model numbers) have carbon fiber filaments. This is a genuine and reasonable concern. I'm surprised that Dyson has done this.

Carbon Fiber

Hi
Welcome to the Dyson Community, and thanks for your question.
The size of the fibres means that in the unlikely event that they become airborne, they are too big to pose any danger as they aren’t respirable - so can’t get into the part of the lungs where any risk would potentially exist.
Like any Dyson machine, accessory or component, the anti-static carbon fibre filaments within our brush bars have been rigorously assessed for safety, and for this health risk specifically. The brush bar only spins when the main suction motor is running, so any fibres which happen to become loose would be contained within the machine's filtration system - again, this is highly unlikely.
All Dyson cord-free vacuums include anti-static carbon fibre filaments as part of their brush bar design, whereas current Dyson corded upright vacuums do not.
