Can you turn off the powerhead to vacuum delicate Persian Rugs?

Yes, the powerhead can be turned off, there is a switch on the top of the unit. On the handle are also toggle switches that control the amount of vacuum pressure that the Sebo will apply. I've been able to vacuum my antique rug with the powerhead turned on by setting the height adjustment to the highest setting and reducing the amount of vacuum pressure. Did a nice job of cleaning the rug, BTW.

There is a green button on top of the power head that you press to turn it off.

When you remove the white cover for cleaning, you can unplug the fan motor from the controller. There is a little white plug. This will shut off the fan for vacuuming or removing the fan motor and cage for washing. I did not install my fan on a switch and it is set to turn on with motion and humidity. I am very satisfied with it.

This Jet dust collector does not come with a remote on/off unit out of the box and, while it may be an option, I don't recall seeing this possibility in any of the literature. I checked the unit and it does not have a magnetic on/off switch so it would be possible to simply leave it on and plug it into a switched outlet which could be controlled remotely. The power cord is relatively short, 6 foot, if that is a consideration in placement to avoid using an extension cord. It's a great unit and I have been quite pleased with its performance.

Yes you can! A great feature this unit has is a brush on off switch which allows for great pick up on hard floors like tile. Just turn the brush off, lower the vacuum to the lowest height setting and you will be good to go!

I have no trouble with attachments. The power head does slow down or stop on heavy carpet or if you push down but it's great for low pile carpet. The vacuum is great for hardwood or laminate floors. Not the greatest if your entire house is thick carpet. You would need a vacuum with an electric power head for a lot of carpet. The power head on the numatic is air powered.

Yes there is a switch to shut off the brush for bare floors and attachment usage. However, I have great difficulty getting it locked into the off position. I have to use two hands because of the strength of the spring, and there is no convenient place to get leverage. A man's larger, stronger hand may not have this problem.

Depends--the one weakness of this vacuum that I discovered is it does not handle "fuzz" well, which is usually not an issue with Persian rugs.

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.

Yes. It is a three position rocker switch vacuum only, off, and powerhead+vacuum.

I'm sorry to say--that it does NOT turn off. To me, that is a problem that Eureka needs to address. If it would be a feature that will create a problem, just lay the unit down to raise the brushes.

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 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.

Yes, when you turn on the UVC. That can be turned off when all you want is dust and allergen removal.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

I think so. It has a button for non-carpeted floors and the button turns the roller off. Seems to work great for me.

it has no power to the head you can only use turbo brush which does pretty good light duty job for area rugs for me. what I really do not like about this vac is that control buttons are very soft and I always hit them while carrying the vac against my knee and turn it off or rewind the cord or reduce power. Since I do not drag the vac behind me but rather carry it in my arm wile vacuuming i do it every few minutes and it is very irritating otherwise it is a good vac
