What is Zero M Cleaning Brushroll

Shark has alleviated this problem with the Zero M self-cleaning brushroll. As there slogan says “we remove the hair wrapped around the brush roll so you don’t have to”.
The self-cleaning brush roll has a series of protrusions that constantly remove hair from the brush roll as you vacuum. The UV650 model does not have this feature.
