Does this vacuum have a removable roller brush or a way to turn brush off?

The Electrolux vacuum has a removable roller brush. Different attachments can be purchased separately.

The roller brush is driven by air so when the vacuum is on the brush spins. (As long as it's kept clean.) As far as I can tell it's not removable. However if you have medium to high pile carpet using some downward pressure will keep the brush from spinning or if you don't clean the roller and let it get fiber's wrapped around it, it wont spin. I don't know why you would not want it to spin, that is the whole point of the roller brush. But give this vacuum enough time in use and there will be enough build-up to stop the spinning if that's what you really want.

The attachment the brush is in can be removed, but I can't find a way to remove the brush itself.

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!!

Hi there. I have never personally had the brush roller stop turning, however, if you have a lot of girls in your family, you may want to make sure there isn't a lot of hair wrapped around the roller. I have to get my scissors out every couple of months. You may want to make sure the switch on the handle that changes it from air to roller brush is making contact. If all else fails, this vacuum has a 2 year warranty. I googled the problem and this is the reply I saw.*Brush roll not working after a few months because wires (that supply power to the it) located in the pivot (or joint where the base and body meet) of the vacuum either got severed or insulation scrapped off because of the constant rubbing of the wire and plastic.* The customer service number for Hoover is 1-800-944-9200. I hope one of these solutions will help. Good luck to you.

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

It has a roller "bar". There are no belts accessible from the opening, does it even have belts? The roller bar does not turn off while in the upright position, it still spins quite fast. To clean the roller I just cut the debris, usually hair, off the roller. I own two of these and bought one for my daughter. They are the most powerful light weight vacuum that I've found. I have never had to deal with the roller not spinning and I've owned this model for about 10 years. I highly recommend this vacuum.

Yes, the powerhead can be turned off, there is a switch on the top of the unit. On the handle are also toggle switches that control the amount of vacuum pressure that the Sebo will apply. I've been able to vacuum my antique rug with the powerhead turned on by setting the height adjustment to the highest setting and reducing the amount of vacuum pressure. Did a nice job of cleaning the rug, BTW.

No, however you can switch the brushes off (switch on the handle- super easy) and lower the head to setting 1 or 2 (button on the power head that you tap with your foot- also really easy) and it does a marvelous job. I love this vac because it easily switches between my hardwood floors and the rugs I have in the same room.

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

Vacuum has high and low brush setting. I use it on hardwood floors and oriental carpeting and use attachments for upholstery.

Yes you can turn the brush off and just have suction. I use that feature all of the time. Also, when using the hand tools the brush automatically turns off in the upright position. I have never had trouble getting the switch in the off position.

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.

No brush roller. There is a tiny rubber strip that acts as a scraper such as on a dust pan.

There is no brush, just a hole sucking up dirt. It is like one of those old handheld dustbusters, with a flat top attached, that is removable. It's a strange vac. And I discovered that it only lasted 102 days, not 6 months. I can't believe it died in such a short amount of time!

no turbo brush, it doesn't leave vacuum lines - the next size up has a brush and I don't know if you can use the brush with the "lil" one.

No, no settings...about as basic as you can get. This is the lightest vaccuum I have ever had, but we had to replace already..just a few months in. Belt burned up and destroyed the brush peice. I would look at another model if I were you. Good Luck.

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