Can the rotating brush be turned off?

Absolutely. This vacuum is most convenient in that next to the off and on switch is the switch that controls the beater bar. You can go from carpet to hard surface floor without stopping for even a second. Just flip the switch which is inches from the finger tips and the suction stays, but the brush quits rotating. As you move back to carpet, flip the switch back. So easy.

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.

There are floor and carpet settings, with pile depth settings for carpet. I've never had specific want ti turn the rotation off, but it may automatically do so on floor setting, for it becomes quite apparent the "auto-drive of carpet vacuum ceases. Truth is, there's no obvious off button and I just don't know.

Here's my best guess. The vacuum has a two-position switch that selects for carpet and bare floor. I suspect the only difference is rotating brush function--on for carpeted floor and off for bare floor. I've never actually checked to see for sure, but I strongly suspect that's how one can turn the brush on or off. Hope this info is helpful.

The brush rotates automatically, powerful suction - good motor amp. Hope this helps. Kokokitty119

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.

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.

Yes, you can turn off that feature too. It has a lid with a little handle on top

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

The brush can be turned off to work on non carpeted floors. Auto adjusts height for thicker carpeting.

No the brush is not rotating. You use it the same way you would a round brush. Up and out.

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.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

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

yes, it has an on-off switch for the powered brush which we turn off when vacuuming on wood

Yes. But because the way the modes are set up and timed, you shouldn't need to be able to change modes mid brushing session. The manual explains all of this in detail.

Yes, the uh30300 has a foot switch for easily turning off the rolling brush. Comes in handy in particular when moving from a carpeted area, over a vinyl area, to another carpeted area, so no need to lift the vacuum to prevent damage to the lineoleum area. Not sure if I need to to that, if I could just vacuum over the lineoleum area. Also is good for when using the tools, so you're not brushing one spot constantly.

No, unfortunately. Only on and off. I decided to buy another device, one with an oscillating brush head and variable speeds. But for a basic sonic brush, this is a good starter.

the brush is removable by removing the screws on the bottom place. but just once a week turn unit over and take a small flat tipped screw driver and remove any hair or string by prying it loose, then there is no need to remove the brush to clean it...It really does the job well.

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.
