does the brush roller stop for use on floor setting?

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.

No, the brush rotates on all settings. If you notice it not spinning, it is because the belt broke. I had that happen to me several times. I had to call for replacement belts.

No, the floor brush never has fallen off. I've had several canister vacuums over the years and never, ever, have I had that problem. Yours must be defective or else that particular make and model is defective. Hope this helps.

There sure is! On this unit it is a foot button which turns the brush on or off, perfect for hard floor!

Hi Edward, There is a circular orange switch that is located on the lower right side of the machine. The forward position activates the roller-brush. I sometimes use the carpet/rug sweeper on the bare floors. It doesn't really hurt anything.

I purchased the DC28 a few weeks ago and recently took it to task on my hardwood floors. This vacuum has a "bare floor" setting, which stops the brushes completely; however, the suction action remains the same. When finished, I did not notice any scratches or scuffs on the floor (my floors are stained with two coats of Minwax polyurethane).

There's a selector on it that you turn to bare floors and it turns off the roller.

Yes, I shift the lever to bare floors to keep the rotating brush off the floor, but I also use the hose and 2 extensions that come with it. I have a universal wide floor brush attachment that fits on the hard extensions and it picks up everything in its path. you have to grab the vacuum by its handle to move it along with you, but i find that easy. All in all, for the price, this vacuum sucks the life out of floor debris

Yes, there's a switch next to the on/off switch to turn off the brush roller. Very convenient.

You can turn the brush roll off, which works good for hard surfaces. And the turbo brush is superb for hair!

Yes. It has a setting for vibrate only. The rollers will not move, but you will still feel them.

There is a height setting specifically labelled 'bare floor.' It falls between a regular carpet and low carpet settings. But the brush does not necessarily turn off. This may or may not be an issue. When I use it, there doesn't seem to be an issue with the brush scuffing my wood floors.

It does not have a brush roller. It has wheels to raise it off the floor a little and squeegee blade behind the hole.

I'm sorry to say--that it does NOT turn off. To me, that is a problem that Eureka needs to address. If it would be a feature that will create a problem, just lay the unit down to raise the brushes.

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

No! You can not turn off the brush roller. You need to get the model 1 up from this one. It's purple.

IN upright mode no -- when you bring handle down the brushes start spinning and that moves it some but not powered wheels or anything.
