Does it come with a beater-brush or is it similar to a shop-vac? I have medium-pile carpet and need it to beat out and suck up the ground in dirt.

Comes with one head with a lever to change from carpets to floor setting. Floor setting has low stiff brushes- would not be suitable for carpet. The carpet setting is more similar to a shop vac. I have to say, I LOVE this vac.

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.

No. It does not come with a "beater" brush. You can purchase one to use with it, however. Contact GO Vacuum or go to their website for specifics on the Vacuflow HP8705 TurboCatEx Zoom. The Henry and Hetty vacuums are MUCH better than a shop vac because they have a great hepa filter and easy to load/remove heavy-duty filtration bags. It'll suck the hair right off of your cat on the high setting, yet are the quietest vacuums I have ever owned. The low setting is fairly gentle on drapes and lamp shades. Everybody loves our Hetty and Henry vacuum cleaners--even the ladies we just hired to come and professionally deep clean our 160 year old house. No. It does not come with a "beater" brush.

No it does not come with a beater brush but I think you can buy one separately. This little vac seems to be best suited to hard wood, vinyl flooring and very low pile area rugs. I read some reviews on line from people who did purchase the beater brush and they were good. I love my Henry. I have all wood floors and area rugs so it does exactly what I want it to do. It also picks up dog hair beautifully. Hope this helps!

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!!

Not really, but you have to put pressure on the carpet roller attachment (I think its called the "beater bar"?) to get it to move. I have the same problem as you so I usually vacuum the carpet with the floor attachment. It is a little more labor intensive, but it does work. Maybe even a little better.

On This site, simply do some of the work you need to do by clicking on just the word Dyson. Don't add any more words to it. You will see page after page of every option to add to the model if it doesn't come with it.Heck, all Vac's come with basic attachments.They can't all come with every job type that's needed.Some here even use the Dyson in a barn sucking up hay and rabbit crap. Who'd a thought?But that's not even close to the right machine for the job.They make shop vac's for that, with no moving parts.

Absolutely. This vacuum is most convenient in that next to the off and on switch is the switch that controls the beater bar. You can go from carpet to hard surface floor without stopping for even a second. Just flip the switch which is inches from the finger tips and the suction stays, but the brush quits rotating. As you move back to carpet, flip the switch back. So easy.

Just a regular vaccum cleaner. I used this for spits from my pets also heavy traffic areas. It works great!. I also used the 3X Resolve cleaner. Don't no if that mattered. But it took out spots,I couldn't get out with my Bissell rug cleaner. I went with all wood floors now and only area rugs but i still use it on spots with the area rugs. It's wonderful. Not a wasted dollar for me I'd but again if I needed too. Love it!!

Yes. The vacuum is strong, and the "beater" seems to do a good job lifting dirt.

It works okay if you just have dirt to get out of your carpets. I have hair that tends to get wrapped around it and is nearly impossible to remove from it. I gave up and just use a floor cleaning brush head that I bought from Amazon. Much easier to clean the hair from it than to try to unwrap it from the beater brush

No, it doesn't. I mainly use it on hard floors and it picks up everything. I also use it on low knap carpets just around areas that I can't vacuum very well with my regular vacuum. I really has a lot of suction for such a little vac. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I have a cat and it picks up all her fine hair and the litter she leaves around her box.

You attach it to the hose and use it to vacuum under furniture where the beater bar won't fit. It works best on hard surfaces, but you can use it on carpet too.

It has one head with beater brushes to use on both carpet and hard surface. I use it on both. There are other attachments but they dont spin. This is a great vac.

Yes comes with a hose you hook up to shop vac. It's a must or you will get dust everywhere. Only down fall it is heavy but will do the job quick. I was happy with it

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.

Ten inch floor attachment for hard floors and carpet, crevasse tool, small head with and without bristles, and a pet hair tool with rotating bristles. Also a hose and an extending wand. There's an OK hose that doesn't look as durable as I'd like. I bought this for about $80 and I'm happy with it . I recommend ordering more bags when you order the vacuum as they can be hard to find in stores.

Yes -Comes with Extension tube, powerbrush floor tool, crevasse tool, and brush/upholstery tool. If changer's a typo for charger -- yes -- I find it great works fine on both my hard floors & carpet, I've run it up to 10 min with intermittent use of boost w/o running down. That's enough time to do a couple of rooms & my hallway. If you need more time than that you'd want a plugin vacuum I think. This isn't a replacement for a regular vacuum but more of a touch up tool (unless you live in a small apartment)

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.

It does come with one that is vacuum powered so do not expect miracles. Had a Kenmore once that had a separate motor for the attachment and that would pick up anything. Hope this helps.

I think so. Isn't a shop vac more powerful than a regular house vacuum cleaner? I just use my house vacuum.
