Does this vacuum cleaning have a beater bar??

Have you tried asking the manufacturer? If the manufacturer can't answer your simple question presale, how will they do post sale?

OK, we have three completely different and contradictory answers. I hope a few more people can chime in to give us a majority vote. Does it have a beater bar that is powered by a motor. We have so far 1) a beater bar that is powered, 2) a beater bar that is not powered, and 3) no beater bar at all. Getting good agitation is essential to cleaning carpet. Most people focus on just the air flow, but you need both.

Mine has an electric motor-powered carpet head. Perhaps mine is a different model from the other reviewers. Very powerful and deep cleaning.

The turbo head attachment has a suction-powered beater bar. I use it on one low-pile area rug and it does not work especially well, especially if there is any pet hair. The beater bar spins pretty fast when you pick it up, which may be why some people mistakenly think it is powered? But this is a clip-on attachment: there is no way it could be powered.

This vacuum does NOT have a beater bar (rotating brush). But it is very quiet, with quite a lot of suction.

The turbo-head attachment that came with mine has a rotating brush inside the head. it works on a suction basis and is not powered (like my old Kenmore was) Be warned though, it will bind and or stop on thick pile carpet.

this model comes with a suction powered beater brush for low pile carpet. it gets the job done (best with a new bag). there is another model similar in looks with a motorized beater attachment.

I've never heard of a beater-brush. It's not a shop-vac. This is much heavier duty. It has several attachments, like my Electrolux did. The long floor attachment has 2 settings, one for bare floors and one for carpets. I wish I could be more helpful! The friend who recommended it uses it on all types of florrs and floor coverings in many different houses; he's in construction. Possibly the company can answer you better than I. Good luck! I'm sold on this vacuum...and vacuuming is my least favorite thing to do.

It does not - I suppose you could say it's more like a shop vac but an amazing upscale one that is! It's so quiet and has the best suction out of any vacuum I've ever owned. Love my Henry!!

2 cats. Every room except bedrooms are tile floors. Vacuum works fantastic. I use it almost daily to keep the kitchen clean after cooking. The vaccum DOES NOT come with a beater bar. If you require this you will also need to buy a Miele STB 205-3 Turbo Plus Power Nozzle Attachment.

No. The unit has been terrific for a few years. Have you tried to remove the bar with the brushes and re-insert it? Maybe the gear that drives it is broken or not far enough in. Have you spoken with Hoover service. They may have a quick and/or simple diagnostic or corrective suggestion. b.cooper

Not sure what the definition of 'beater brush' is, but it has a rotating bristled brush turned by a rubber band. I think that is what you are asking about that is not just a "sucking" tool like the attachment on a shop vac.

No beater bar brush - it has a retractable nonpowered brush in the head which allows the head to be positioned on floor or a little bit higher.I use this on wood floors and it's fine - the head is plastic and very light, you'd have to work at trying to get it to scratch anything, although a sharp object lodged under it might. I would not recommend this for carpet primarily since it doesn't have a beater bar brush.

Not that I am aware of. That is my only complaint about the vacuum. It works wonderful otherwise.

I would not buy this vacuum at all. The beater bar is not good and the hole where things get sucked up is too small and the smallest of things get stuck. Electrolux is a much better machine--I had one of those and will be getting one again.

No. The beater bar does not spin well. It requires a lot of passes to get pet hair up.

Not that i have found. The entire top of the vacuum cleaner is the dirt canister. The back bottom side has the wind up cord built in.

Monica, I have no idea. As it doesn't have a beater brush, and all of the motor, etc., is in the handle, I would guess not. It's made to be a vac for hard floors only, and works great. You could go to their web site, put in the model, and work your way through to the parts list, to see for sure.

No and the worst thing about this one is the way the attachments work, the longest tube is part of the handle and it does not bend, so it's REALLY hard ot work with and we HATE this feature. believe me - I would return it if I could!!! I sooo hate this and hate that we spend $400. on this awful vacuum!

No it wraps around the bottom of the vacuum. Still an AWESOME vac. Been using it all this time in my cleaning business. I use it EVERYDAY.

No, to my knowledge you can not turn off the beater bar. The head self adjusts to the surface. It seems to do fine going from thick pile carpet to thin indoor/outdoor polypropylene carpet to porcelain in my home. The beater bar is approximately 11.5" and the brushes can be replaced.

You may have cleaned the brush bar also called the beater bar recently and placed the bar in wrong. The grey plastic part that fixes the brush in place on the end of the bar has one side that is longer than the other side. The longer side should be toward the vacuum motor while the rounded part should be placed the other way. There doesn't seem to be much information on this on the web. I had to take my machine in to a Dyson repair person to show me why it wasn't adjusted correctly. I hope this helps.David
