Does the sweeper brush stop turning when the sweeper is in the upright position and when using attachments?

There's a pedal on the left that is supposed to stop the brush when the pedal is depressed. However, on mine, the brush only stays stopped as long as i keep the pedal depressed. As soon as i take my foot off the pedal, the brush resumes turning.

I can use attachments, but the sweeper brush, after 3 belt changes only NOW turns for about 30 seconds. I have owned MANY vacuums over the years and have laboriously changed MANY belts. I believe that I was sent a sub-standard product...

I think when i use attachments sweeper brush stop turning and i think also in upright position.

No, the brush stays in place. I am very pleased with this vacuum and the ease of use.

I have not experienced that problem. The sweeper has been performing above expectations. The suction is amazing, it doesn't miss much.

I do not recommend this attachment because the rotating brush easily stops when it encounters modest friction. YMMV.

Doesn't clog, but the rotating brush recently stopped rotating for me,and I've only had it for 2 months. (This was after I cleaned all the hair off, as well.) Without the brush rolling, it misses a lot of stuff.

no, the brush is fixed and stationary. The description I read prior to purchasing did *not* indicate a rotating brush.

No, the brush doesn't spin and that's the only thing I didn't like about it. Where the wand is connected to the cord, that is flexible so the wand will swivel. But just the brush itself, does not. Hope this answers your question.

No, however you can switch the brushes off (switch on the handle- super easy) and lower the head to setting 1 or 2 (button on the power head that you tap with your foot- also really easy) and it does a marvelous job. I love this vac because it easily switches between my hardwood floors and the rugs I have in the same room.

The brush rotates automatically, powerful suction - good motor amp. Hope this helps. Kokokitty119

The brush does not rotate. I have had this product for about a year and the attachment on the brush no longer holds the brush in place and it constantly falls off.

It turns back and forth. It does not make complete revolutions. Remove the head and bush up on the bottom brush and you will see how far the top round brush turns back and forth.

No spinning bristles. It is a smaller scale shop vac if this helps. Just mounted on your back. I think it would pick up leaves and bugs as long as not embedded.

No it doesn't, but I have not found that to be an issue. I use it on throw rugs, Berber carpet, and a traditional carpeting and it works equally well on all three. It does have a setting to turn the brush off for bare floors.

Brush only turns on carpet setting. Could be hair or debris around the brush. Hoover customer is pretty good to answer these issues.

A solution to the brushes not turning or the shaft breaking would be at the time of cleaning, be sure and remove any fuzzy ball that build up with cleaning. The inside of the brush housing gets carpet fuzz all over the inside along with fuzz on the brushes. AS you rinse this, it balls up and clogs the "gears" on the side of each brush. Be sure to fish these out and make sure the brushes turn freely as you clean. You made need forceps or tweezers to pull these fuzz balls out, but this is key to proper function

No I do not think so, I think the brushes are supposed to go on and off. This is how the machine was designed and has to do with the way it cleans and extracts the water.

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.
