Does this vacuum have a powered beater bar. The brush roll description is not clear.

I have all hard wood floors, but my brush bar got tangled up and stopped spinning (even after removing hair and fuzz from bristles) after about 10 uses.

Yes it has a powered beater bar. But it does trap a lot, and I mean a lot of hair. I find that I have to pull hairs out from being tangled around the brush bar after every use. I'm guessing the bristles are too long and not dense enough to allow the hairs to pass into the vacuum and instead winds around the bar.

Yes, but mine stopped working after a few months. If you really need a beater brush, this is not the vacuum to buy.

It has a powered roll brush and cleans better than one would expect from such a lightweight vacuum.

from what I found there's a small belt inside the bottom cover. If the belt is not on it dosnt turn bar. going to try to change belt to see if that turns it.

This vacuum does NOT have a beater bar (rotating brush). But it is very quiet, with quite a lot of suction.

Not sure what the definition of 'beater brush' is, but it has a rotating bristled brush turned by a rubber band. I think that is what you are asking about that is not just a "sucking" tool like the attachment on a shop vac.

No it does not come with a beater brush but I think you can buy one separately. This little vac seems to be best suited to hard wood, vinyl flooring and very low pile area rugs. I read some reviews on line from people who did purchase the beater brush and they were good. I love my Henry. I have all wood floors and area rugs so it does exactly what I want it to do. It also picks up dog hair beautifully. Hope this helps!

Yes. It "lifts" / pulls strongly, and it has a beater bar. It does a good job.

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

Sorry for the late response. Yes it does. There are two brushes that come with the vacuum; the standard brush and the pet claw. The pet claw's bristles move once it's attached and the blue nob is turned for the use of the hose. I think this vacuum is really good. It is very light due to the vacuum being mostly plastic. But, its very durable and gets the job done. This vacuum is currently sold in stores. I purchased mine at Sears. So if you want to get an idea of how it feels and really looks, head over there or go to your nearest department store. I hope that helps! :)

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.

Technically, yes. But the beater/roller head does NOT turn off, so when you use it on wood floor or tile, it is still rolling so the vacuum ends up sucking up some of the dirt, but not all. A lot of dirt and particulate matter is just kicked around the room. You have to go over areas at least three or four times to get it decently clean. This is inefficient, in my opinion. About 50% of my flooring is wood or tile, and while I love what this vacuum does on carpet, I am underwhelmed and annoyed with how it performs on wood or tile floors. (My next vacuum will be something that performs better in this area). Technically, yes.

It picked up everything: hair, carpet fibers, kitty litter, etc. IT doesn't have a beater brush, the red thing you see is a rubberized "comb" The rubber nibs attract the hair and pull it up, then the vac sucks it in. There was so much embedded hair in my stairs that they looked dirty. A few swipes and I had 1" high piles of hair at the edge of the stair, which then vacuumed right up.

I do not know what a beater brush is. The machine has the standard roller brush incorporated in it and a sqare brush for upholstery purposes

There is no beater bar on this make/model. Suction is not very good and the air flow channel is limited.

The turbo head attachment has a suction-powered beater bar. I use it on one low-pile area rug and it does not work especially well, especially if there is any pet hair. The beater bar spins pretty fast when you pick it up, which may be why some people mistakenly think it is powered? But this is a clip-on attachment: there is no way it could be powered.

The suction spins the dirt in a small "tornado" pattern. That's what you were seeing. There is nothing mechanical that spins. If You're not seeing the spin, you probably have a clogged hose. The hose right by the beater bar often clogs.

I've never heard of a beater-brush. It's not a shop-vac. This is much heavier duty. It has several attachments, like my Electrolux did. The long floor attachment has 2 settings, one for bare floors and one for carpets. I wish I could be more helpful! The friend who recommended it uses it on all types of florrs and floor coverings in many different houses; he's in construction. Possibly the company can answer you better than I. Good luck! I'm sold on this vacuum...and vacuuming is my least favorite thing to do.

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.

No, and thats what I purchased the vacuum for. The beater brush in the power head is controlled by air and is very weak. The suction is just average and I find that carpets need a strong beater bar or brush to reach below the carpet surface and agitate the carpet while the suction removes dust and dirt.
