Not sure. W e have not done this but we have vacuumed all of the oriental rugs we have that are very good rugs without any problems.- silk and hand dyed wool.

There is a brush bar button right next to the on-off button that can be used for sensitive carpet and flooring. It defaults to on but just press it to turn off roller brush. Best vacuum ever!!

I don't think so James but it has so many other attachments that might do the trick. I absolutely love my Dyson. Used one of the attachments on my suede sofa the other day.

Yes. The brush can be shut off. When I tried it the suction was so strong that the vacuum was difficult to push on the carpet.

Yes you can! A great feature this unit has is a brush on off switch which allows for great pick up on hard floors like tile. Just turn the brush off, lower the vacuum to the lowest height setting and you will be good to go!

Hi - I don't own this product yet but have been researching it and am going to buy. In checking other websites, including the Hoover site itself, it does say the brushroll can be turned on and off for bare floor cleaning

No. the vacuum has a switch on/off. It is reasonable for small jobs but you got to keep handy couple battery around...

Less easily than with brush on, as rotating beater bar "self-propels" the vac. Would be true of any upright. Maybe you need a cannister for your delicate carpet? I love mine. Great for cat hair on oriental rug (with beater bar on, of course!)

There is a rotating brush, powered by the suction. I am satisfied with the results - use it for a long time. You can regulate the length of the carpet fibers. I can only say that is works well on the medium-short fibers.

I never tried. I have area rugs, hardwood, and wall to wall carpet, so when I turn it on, it goes from one to the other without stopping and does a great job. I wouldn't think you would want to turn the brushes off regardless of the type floors.

Yes, there is a switch on the handle that turns the power off/on to the larger 'head' brush attachment.

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.

It is not normal for the brush roller to turn off without pressing the "BRUSHROLL ON/OFF" button which is in front of the vacuum on/off button. By the way, the "BRUSHROLL ON/OFF" button does not reset with you turn off the vacuum. Thus, if it is set off, it will stay off until you press it on again. When the rollers are turned on, a green light will illuminate on the base of the vacuum near the rollers themselves.

Brush has it's own power button so you can choose on or off. It also shuts off automatically when stowed in upright position. Wheels are a hard plastic with rubber on outside.

I don't think you can shut the roller brush off-there are two settings though for height-hard floors and carpet.

You can use this vacuum either way. For carpets you can have the brush rotating, but you also can turn it off for other cleaning.

Hi Tyler, if you able to use a normal vacuum with a spinning brush on your carpets this should be ok to use! You may want to pretest it first.

Mine spins but it stops every time I use it and I have to remove the brush, clean off the long hairs it has picked up, and put it back in to make it work. As in 1 8 x 10 room rug makes it stop every time. You need a coin to turn the lock on the bottom and pull the brush out. I wouldn't buy a Dyson again due to this issue, I had an Oreck for years that never jammed. Hope that helps?

Yes there is a switch to shut off the brush for bare floors and attachment usage. However, I have great difficulty getting it locked into the off position. I have to use two hands because of the strength of the spring, and there is no convenient place to get leverage. A man's larger, stronger hand may not have this problem.

Yes, there is a foot activated switch that turns the rolling brush on and off.
