I'm not seeing anything on that left side that is not mirrored on the right; that is left and right look the same.

On my version of the vacuum, there is a carpet adjustment knob on the housing above the beater bar location. I don't see it on the vacuum that is in the product illustrations, but it is there on mine. There is no bare floor setting but there are five carpet level settings. It works reasonably well on bare floors on the lowest carpet setting. (Not perfect, but I think acceptably well.)

The impeller is metal. The vacuum we received had an issue where the machine screws that held together the case around the impeller prevented the impeller from rotating. We were able to easily address this problem, but anyone buying this should be wary of the possibility of that problem.

I'm thinking you pulled it out way past the red mark on the cord and broke it. I did that to my vacuum cord, I had to put a pinch clothes pin on that. Sorry.

I believe the bend you are referring to can be seen in Amazon's picture. If that's what you are asking about then yes my grinder has it too. Normal.

I haven't but you need to keep your vacuum chamber higher than the vacuum to fix this

My vacuum unit is ok in that area. I push the hose connection on and give it a small quarter turn twist and it stays put.

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.

90 degree bend on the manifold I used the straight connection for my Freon and vacuum pump

I haven't had any problems with metal flaking off the beaters, but I haven't had the mixer very long. I will watch out for that though.

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

Mine was bent slightly there too. I thought it happened in shipping? I kept it though, it's not that bad.

Perhaps the brush is bent and is not snug in the sweeper. I'm sure you can straighten it by hand. I notice the brush pops out of the sweeper if too much pressure is applied on carpeting.

That is quite weird. I have the same model. When I turn mine on, I do so with the handle in the upright position. The beater bar doesn't engage or turn on. When I push down on the handle and begin vacuuming, the beater bar engages.When I want the beater bar to remain off while I use it, I depress the beater bar off switch while the handle is still in the upright position, then push the handle down to begin vacuuming. The beater bar never engages, or moves an inch. If you are using it as I described, does the beater bar still engage on your unit?

If you are using a regular shop vacuum, you have too much suction. It's best to use a vac with adjustable power (Bosch, festool, fein, et al) and turn it all the way down. Barring that, you could try drilling holes in the tool end of vac hose until the suction is gentler.
