Does the hand turbo power brush work very well on stairs?

i havent used it on stairs, i dont have any, i use it on couches and chairs and it works very well.. its basically a miniature version of the main spinning brush.

I use the wand with the versatool for stairs with no carpet and it works very well. The versa tool is good for bare floors and when closed it has good suction also for crevices. I hope this helped you.

Not really. I've never found one that really works well. The old canister model was so much more powerful and sturdy in every way. The hand brush works better than other models I have used, but unlike the canister vacs, there is no power going to the head. The best suction/spinning brush action was in the old canister vacs. This is a decent machine for the price -- better than others I've used that are similar, but still not entirely effective. The suction is pretty good, though, compared with current competitors.

Turbo Power Brush we purchased separately did not fit on Nimble, had to return....... just using handle attachment now, not very convenient, but it works.....

Hi Alberta My Electrolux Nimble as pic with model number does not have a power brush it has the 3 in one crevice tool. The 3 in one is great closed but it is difficult to keep in the open position once you pick the fool up from the floor. I would not discount the vacuum due to this unless that is what you absolutely need. I would get this and purchase a separate stair tool which they have. I did not buy that because I do not have stairs.

It can climb to the steps once for a while but not in every time it was turned on. When it can climb to the steps then it cleans. Thus, it is not a great reliable tool for cleaning steps.

I have not used it on stairs, mine are too narrow. If there is any kind of breeze you end up covered in snow. Not good.

The Miele Cat and Dog model comes with the Mini Turbobrush. But this Swing model does not. It has a dusting brush I use on my wood floor stairs.It also has an upholstery brush that some reviews I've seen call a "stair and upholstery brush". I think the Mini Turbobrush is more suited for stairs with longer carpet.

Yes! That is exactly why I purchased this attachment, and it does a terrific job. The beater bar is very effective, and the device channels the suction from the vacuum admirably - resulting in very clean stairs. However, be aware that you will have to hold the device to maneuver it - the hand tool simply slides onto the hose from the vacuum without any means of securing the attachment. So, if you push and pull it, it will slide off unless you are holding it at the attachment point.

Yes. Very light and easy to use on the steps. We had an issue with some internal part and they sent us a new one, so Hoover does stand by their products. My wife bought a Panasonic (thinking Hoover wouldn't help us) and its a bulky piece of junk.

You will love it. I just threw a some cherrios under the cabinet toe kick and it sucked them up...no problem. It has enough power. I like that it stands up and has more power than a stick battery broom. I missed having at my daughters while I was babysitting.

I think it is great on hardwood floors. I don't use the power nozzle much for the floors, though I will when I am rushing from hardwood to carpets for a quick clean up. I prefer the soft brush attachment. I bought this vacuum with my MIL's recommendation. She also lost suction power in her, but here was a filter on the inside of the machine that was completely clogged. Once she took care of that (I can't remember exactly, but I think she just cleaned it, not replaced) it's suction was back to full power.

I don't have carpeted stairs so I can't really answer that, but when I try to vacuum upholstered furniture the brushes stop rotating unless you apply the lightest touch possible, which means that it doesn't really pick up well unless you keep going over the same spot picking up a little more each time, which is a pain in the butt. I don't recommend buying it.

Yes, I often use it that way. I usually sweep, then use a dustpan to pick up the bulk of my sweepings then I take the black and decker off of the charger, flip it on and vacuum all with one hand. This is product is also awesome for stairs and vacuuming my furniture (I have 2 long haired cats) the pet hair attachment is amazing. I can't say enough about it!

Yes. It does. It has the small tools and brushes for getting in tight and small spaces. The small brush is perfect for stairs and the cone gets into the corners. The only thing with stairs is the awkwardness of the unit but without the power brush, it is manageable. We love this unit as we have three dogs and two cats. I highly recommend this vacuum.

I use mine on stairs all the time. I use the hose attachment and large brush head (not motorized). It seems to work as well as the main unit. The waste water is always really dark afterward and any stain I've ever used it on comes out.

Yes. The nozzle is tapered so it works well on the stairs and since it's lightweight your arm shouldn't get tired either.

It's wonderful for stairs. In fact that's why I got it. Here are the reasons it's so good on stairs: NO CORD to drag around or trip on LIGHT WEIGHT BOTH BRUSH AND SUCTION GETS CLOSE WALL AND RISER ADJUSTS ANGLE from 90 to 180 degrees

This is such a full bristled broom. It slides under the toe kicks of lower kitchen cabinets well. I love this broom, it really has pick up power.

It performs a function not done with existing on board tools. However, it is not the best one I have used. It looses rpms quickly. I have had a Dyson in the past which worked better. For the price it is worth having, but I still find myself using multiple tools to achieve clean stairs.

The brush rotation is effective for the braided treads on our painted stairs, on hardwood floors, for the upholstery and carpets in our cars and on area rugs. I've used it successfully to clean up broken Christmas balls, dried mud, and it even picks up dog hair on the dog beds. The hose attachment is convenient and also has very good suction. The filter is easy to clean and washable. There's cord to deal with, but I've never found a cordless with this kind of power. I'm happy with this purchase and I've recommended it to friends and family.
