The belt causes the brush roll to spin . Take off the bottom plate of the vac by un-screwing a few screws . examine your belt , it is either broken or really streched out . If that is not the case then you have a bearing problem in the actual agitator .

Thank you, the hose was clogged. I'm so glad I didn't give up on the vacuum and buy another one.

I've had my vacuum for about a year now. I bought the 1st vacuum like this one 2yrs ago and returned it while under warranty because the brush unit stopped spinning even though the vacuum was still sucking air. I purchase a 2nd one after that and here I am a year after that and again this vacuum has stopped working. Same problem. Is there an easy fix? I see that the belts are available through Amazon, but I don't want to order this part unless this will absolutely fix the problem. I actually like this vacuum and am disappointed that it stopped working. Any advice?

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 have only had mine for a few months, so can't respond to that...I too vacuum almost everyday and so far so good....

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

I also purchased this and love it! My vacuum works so well. Perhaps yours has a glitch or is a lemon for some reason. I know one thing, the manufacturer stands behind their product. Simply contact them through their website and let them know what has happened. They will definitely help you out.They are a family owned company with great values. Contact them!

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.

No, the brush rotates on all settings. If you notice it not spinning, it is because the belt broke. I had that happen to me several times. I had to call for replacement belts.

Mine only worked a couple times and then the brushes never spun again. I tried cleaning it...it was like there was not enough suction, but I know there was plenty of suction to move the brushes. I was really disappointed because I have stairs and I really thought Hoover would have a dependable product. It was a waste of money for me.

I have not noticed any difference in suction, but I'll pay closer attention next time I vacuum to see if there is! (I'm guessing it's a minimal difference, if any, if I haven't noticed it!)

Yes, this is normal. The roller is activated by the position of the handle, so if you tilt the handle up as if you are going to stand it up, the roller will stop and start again when you push the handle down when you are vacuuming. I think this has to do with not wanting the roller spinning if you are standing the vacuum up but not turning it off so that the suction and the roller dont suck up your rug.

What part of the canister do you feel the air blowing out? If near the bottom of the canister, you may have worn gaskets/seals or haven't completely attached the canister to the very bottom parts. Since the air is drawn upwards in the vacuum, no air should be blowing out of the bottom of the canister. I hope this helps you.

I have not had this problem Jesse. My experience is that when I try to move the sweeper around by hand, by pulling the sweeper forward, the hitch assembly must be low enough for the wheels to turn easily. If your holding the hitch assembly too high the wheels won't turn easily and will drag maybe causing your problem. Sorry I can't be more help.

I wouldn't recommend this vacuum for anyone. It was cheap, and I got what I paid for. The motor runs fine on mine, as well. but the brush will not rotate. I've had this problem with it from the beginning.

The suction driven hose attachment flew apart in my wife's hand about the 3rd time she used it. That thing really gets to spinning fast. Hoover did replace itand even called later to ask more about it's demise. No problems with the replacement or the vacuum overall. We like bagged vacuums over the non-bagged ones

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

If the brush has stopped turning you either have something stuck between the brush and the bottom housing, not likely, or the band that turns the brush that is attached to the motor has broken. I keep a spare because in all upright vacuums these thick black rubber bands brake from time to time. You can buy one on line from Amazon, they don't cost much so buy two so you always have one on hand.

I have two of these. The spin brushes do not work on either. I did take one machine to a Hoover service place. They got the brushes to spin, but now they don't on that machine. This seems to be a weak spot on these machines. They clean nicely, but the brushes do help. Water does not move them, and I could not find the small screen one person is mentioning. I think there is a motor that turns them and the cause of failure is somewhere internal.

I had the same problem when I used mine. I had been forgetting to set it on the lowest setting after doing rugs. Now I keep mine on the lowest foe even rugs and it works better picking up dirt. Be warned though if you ever take it apart to clean the roller and inside it doesn't fit together right again and doesn't sit as low to the floor. Mine did that anyway. Hope this helps. New vacuums are like xmas to me!
