can it stop at stairs

Hello Sue, there is sensors on this vacuum that will stop or turn around to avoid hitting an object.

It is like any other cart. I put the cart in front and gently lower it one step at a time. In front going down and in back going up is the general rule of thumb. It is easier to use than the non stair climbing carts. As with anything I am sure it could be tweaked with improvements.

Not without modifying it heavily. It has a motion sensor that keeps it on low until movement is detected.

Yes, works very well on stairs. Just remove the long tube and connect the power head directly to the motor unit.

Yes. You set it and can be stopped anytime you want. I think it has to be done manually though.

I don't know if it can be paused, but I think you have to be walking to use it. It's a pretty well tuned machine. For example, I wanted to use it when I walk my dog, which is stop and start, but it won't do that.

You can but is very hard to stop it anywhere except open or closed. The electric motor moves to fast.

Go to the pet store and buy 2 bags of aquarium rock and pour it into the rails (they have caps to close it) fill as much as you could and this will prevent the stairs from moving.

this thing isn't intended to go very fast. It's pretty hard to learn to make it move, so stopping won't be the very first thing you'd think about and when you learn how to move you'd know how to stop also.

This works great on stairs. Disconnect the extension and use the brush attachment.

It stops when you stop pushing the remote. My brother did slide down once because he had raised the top only. Once he raised the foot a little bit, the sliding stopped.

Yes but it stops after a while. You need to read instructions which i did not do! But i love it

you might be able to prop it up on its bigger rear wheels and bump it up the stairs behind you. i have done this at my mom's apartment (i have a ground floor one but she has a 2nd story one), up 2 smaller flights of stairs. if you can keep a good balance and manage that initial big "PULL!!!" then it should be manageable the rest of the way, if a little bumpy.

Jane... No it does not have a stop- you have to tie it off or as they say in sailing terms- belay it.

No. The steps do not stick out far enough to prevent this. They are very narrow for steps and are ok to help getting in the vehicle but are definitely for a small foot.

It has a clip that you can wear that will automatically stop the machine if you fall off. It also stops automatically if you step if for a few seconds.

It will only go - if you use your feet and hands to get it going - and since it should only be used on level ground, if they stop pushing with their feet, then it won't go anywhere. It takes more effort to get it going than to stop it.
