I have read 2 different answers now on the question and answers. Does this model have an on/off switch for the brush roller?

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

Yes there is an on/off switch. I like this grinder. When it is new, it chips the glass until you've ground a dozen or so pieces and taken the edge off the spindle. Practice on some junk glass until it dulls slightly. After that, it's first class Mike

Hi Karen, there is no on off switch it's purely plugged in or not plugged in type of situation with this particular set of hot rollers. Hope this helps!

Yes, the brush roll or brush agitator turns off with a foot switch. This switch turns the vacumn between rugs and bare floor.

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.

There is not a switch to turn off brushes, but they will shut off when the handle is in upright position while machine is running. This prevents spinning during hose attachment use.

I'm not sure what a rotor switch is. It has an on/off switch on the side of the handle as opposed to a foot peddle switch near the base. The rotor (I assume we're talking about the brushes which come in contact with the floor) does not have its own switch. Thus, the rotor will continue to turn when handheld attachments are in use.

Yes it has ON/OFF Switch. I love this thing. It works 99% of the time unless it is very windy but then again wind keeps bugs away to. HIGHLY RECOMEND

yes it has on/off switch but switch is poor quality. I have had to replace the switch in my pump after about 10 uses.

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!

Yes it does have a master on/off switch. GREAT product. I am very satisfied with it.

It is not normal for the brush roller to turn off without pressing the "BRUSHROLL ON/OFF" button which is in front of the vacuum on/off button. By the way, the "BRUSHROLL ON/OFF" button does not reset with you turn off the vacuum. Thus, if it is set off, it will stay off until you press it on again. When the rollers are turned on, a green light will illuminate on the base of the vacuum near the rollers themselves.

No! You can not turn off the brush roller. You need to get the model 1 up from this one. It's purple.

Yes.... there is an on/off switch right on the handle next to the main on/off switch whichcontrols whether the brush motor is on or off.

No off switch for beater bar. However, the setting on low allows you to vacuum throw rugs without much problem.
