Does the vacuum have a rotating brush at the bottom? I heard that is bad for wood floors. Thanks

No, it has NO rotating bar or brushes...I use on my wood/tile floors with no problems whatsoever.

I have used 2 different models of the same vacuum cleaner and my wooden floors are like new. It also works great on carpets and rugs.

There is a removable platter on the bottom. It disengages and you can clean it. There are no rotating brushes like the Roomba but there are fixed bristles on the removable platter. Part of the floor scrub is it kind of wiggles across the floor. If you have a lot of small granule particulate, the "suck up" section gets clogged pretty quickly. But, I let it roll for about 20 minutes then dump old water, fill with new water and clean off the bottom platter.

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.

Yes it does, but I didn't really notice that feature. I truly love how great the vacuum works. The suction is great. It picks up dirt I didn't even see.

Well, we have a low pile carpeting, almost like berber, and it works well. I just had to open an adjustment on the turbobrush to allow the brush to rotate faster. If you have a higher pile, I would consider a model with the powerhead. As far as for the wood floors, I will never use a broom again. It's so smooth and you feel like no dust is being stirred.

It does come with a combo-brush that's suitable for bare floors and carpets. The caveat here is that the bottom of the brush has a metal plate instead of just a cheaper all plastic base. I've never used it on wooden floors so I can't say that it won't scratch but it seems unlikely as there is enough clearance. The front of the unit has a brush and the rear has 2 plastic wheels to keep it raised enough off the floor. See my full review on the unit; it's not as bad as a lot of reviews would let you believe! For the price it's a very good vacuum but like most bag-less models it needs its foam filter rinsed out otherwise it gets plugged. Your mileage may vary on filter rinses.

No it wraps around the bottom of the vacuum. Still an AWESOME vac. Been using it all this time in my cleaning business. I use it EVERYDAY.

No, but don't let that worry you. This is by far the best vac. I've had. I have wooden floors and rugs, and a very hariry dog. Picks everything up. The lady that cleans for me, loves this vac.

It looks like this one has the ability to turn off the revolving brush, something my vacuum store "specialist" told me. He explained some revolving brushes can scratch your wood floors. I may be missing something but it doesn't look like the EasyClean can do that...? I'd spend the extra money for a little more amperage too :-) I am looking at this one and the EasyClean too! ...need it for stairs primarily and can't seem to find a reasonable solution for that. I just spent quite a bit on a Miele upright and truly value a good product, and glad to pay more to get more! These both seem good for the money!

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

It shouldn't. I would start on a rug or something because it always turns on with the brushes rotating. Once it is on, you can turn the brush off, and save the wood floors. I don't know how the ball and wheels would be on wood, though.

It doesn't have a separate attachment for hardwood floors, but the vacuum does have bristles and the height is adjustable so that it works well on hardwood floors. We bought it specifically for hardwood and it works very well.

No spinning bristles. It is a smaller scale shop vac if this helps. Just mounted on your back. I think it would pick up leaves and bugs as long as not embedded.

I have wood floors also and it does fine on mine. I haven't noticed any damage from the sweeper. I really like it.

The wheels do not rotate by power but if it is used on a carpet the rotating brush will help the vacuum move .in my opinion it does a great cleaning job.

I am not sure about the filter. It does have more than one type on the vacuum. Yes it does have a spinning brush for stairs & furniture. Let me tell you, the suction is awesome. The brush is unstoppable. Works great & never stops spinning no matter how much pressure you put on it. LOVE this vacuum.

Yes, it's very simple. There's a switch right on the handle where you select carpet or floor. When on floor, the rotating brush is turned off.
