It switches from floor to rug with just the touch of a button. You'll love it.

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.

Yes, it comes with an easy screw on attachment that allows you to switch between the push button and pressure switch, I run with the push button because pressure switches are too unreliable for me to have a comfortable grip.

Does well but you have to push a switch to change over from carpet vacuum to hard floors. No big deal. Just stops the brushes from spinning.

While switched off the power switch protrudes around a third of an inch (eyeballed, not actually measured) and is spring loaded. To switch the unit on, you push the switch in until it engages at which point it only comes out around half as much or less than when it is off. Pressing it again will turn the unit off and allow the button to come back out around a third of an inch again. It has a nice feel to it, and the action is solid and fairly smooth.

It does not have an attachment for that. But, it does have a button to turn off the beater bar to use on bare floors.

Comes with one head with a lever to change from carpets to floor setting. Floor setting has low stiff brushes- would not be suitable for carpet. The carpet setting is more similar to a shop vac. I have to say, I LOVE this vac.

Not sure I understand your question. Does it change/damage floors or carpets? No, not at all. Do you have to change anything on the vacuum to do carpets and floors? No. There is a switch on top to go from floor vacuuming to carpet vacuuming. The carpet setting propels it forward so no pushing and pulling. There are some detail attachment that can be changed, that go on a hose that snaps into the back. One is a gentle brush that will clean pet hair and dust from speakers, pillows, lamp shades, etc. Another one is for stairs and furniture, and another one for corners. They are very well made attachments that are easily put on, used, and detached. It's a great vacuum, no bag, lightweight, easy to use, does an incredible job, and no problems at all. Every time I use it I think about what a good buy it was and how much I hated my old one.

Just on and off. It is a floor switch, you just step to turn it on and off. I really do love it!

Jill, no it does not have a switch. I would not recommend purchasing this item. I purchased this as a Christmas present last year for my then 2 year old son, it did not work correctly and is made of extremely weak material. The noise is not as loud as you would expect and it is not a toy that will last long around a child because of its material. Waste of money and you could find a better more reliable one for less.

Yes it does switch off. There is a button on the inside that when you slide it up or down it will turn on and off, also there are colors that will tell you to, Red for Off and Green for On. you will hear and feel a click sound too.

No, it is not made for use on hard wood floors, and it doesn't have special switches for different areas, at least not that I know of.

There is no switch or button to turn it off. I checked the owner's manual and the brush just stays on. I have used it on hardwood and laminate floors with no problems. I don't see any scratches. No way to change vacuum height either. But I have used it on a high pile carpet that my old Eureka would not go through and it works great. Lots of suction and cleaning power!

I'm not sure...Here's what my vacuum does when switching from hard floors to carpet and vice versa. When I'm vacuuming carpet, the motor has a whirling sound, when I switch the button to floors, the whirling stops (quiets down) and just has a vacuum sound. I hope this helps, if not let me know and we'll go from there.

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.
