Can you turn the brush roll on/off?

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

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!

The timer is automatic. After 2 minutes your brush will just turn itself off. If you want to continue you must turn it back on.

You can use this vacuum either way. For carpets you can have the brush rotating, but you also can turn it off for other cleaning.

The brush automatically comes on with the on/off switch. If you unhook the hose to use it, the brush stops.

Just unpacked mine - guess what? There's a setting just for vacuuming. It turns the brushes off. Who knew? Have only done the rugs today. Guess my old vacuum cleaner wasn't cleaning very well!

A great feature on this unit is the brush on off switch so when using on wood and tile you can turn the brush off for better pick up!

There sure is! On this unit it is a foot button which turns the brush on or off, perfect for hard floor!

Plug the base in an outlet. Set the brush handle on the base. It will go both in forward or turned around toward the back. A blue light comes on to let you know the handle is on. I leave mine on the base all the time with no problem.

My brush has the deep clean mode. I'm pretty much stuck on the daily clean mode, which seems adequate. The buttons, flashing lights, lots of overkill. Or maybe I'm just old.

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.

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 can be turned off by pushing the Hardwood Floor button on the upper body of the cleaner. The two wheels are rubber on plastic hubs.

There are floor and carpet settings, with pile depth settings for carpet. I've never had specific want ti turn the rotation off, but it may automatically do so on floor setting, for it becomes quite apparent the "auto-drive of carpet vacuum ceases. Truth is, there's no obvious off button and I just don't know.

If you have the "Automatic" button selected then that would happen. Otherwise press the "Auto" button again to put it in manual and then select the Plus/Minus suction controls to the setting you desire. Mine however only changes the suction power when I use the hose, when in "Auto", but never while using the brush bar. Really doesn't sound like you have a problem.
