I have read 2 different answers now on the question and answers.Does this model have an on/off switch for the brush roller?

Yes, the brush roller has a switch that can be turned on for carpets and off for hardwood floors... And easily operated with your foot

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, it has a foot toggle switch, however, be warned, I had three of these in 6 months. The foot switch stops working. I gave up and bought a Shark. The 3rd Eureka went in the trash!

No, it has no automatic shut off. For that matter, there is no "On and Off" switch. The electrical plug is the only means of turn-off. I have several sets of rollers dating as far back as the 70's and up until present....no auto switch.

I don't think you can shut the roller brush off-there are two settings though for height-hard floors and carpet.

Hi George, this remote does not have an on/off switch. When I'm done using mine I usually just flip one of the batteries around.

The brush does rotate and appears to be powered by either belt or direct drive action. I have the older model and it also had a rotating brush. In both cases, you can operate with or without brush rotation. When you first slide the on/off switch forward you get only suction. The next " click " engages the brush. Pulling the switch " back " from the off position releases the dust cup for cleaning.

Yes.... there is an on/off switch right on the handle next to the main on/off switch whichcontrols whether the brush motor is on or off.

This unit does indeed have an on and off switch. It will also automatically shut off after a short time of inactivity...whether it is standing or lying flat....This is a great unit! There is also a switch that lets you use the steam or shut that off...

Yes,it does have a brush roller, and it automatically adjusts to floor hight. I got a dog three years ago, who sheds like no animal I have ever seen, and my forest green rug looks great, after I vacuum. I know I sound like an add, but I bought a second one, new in the box, and it is stored in my garage until this one wears out. Thats how much I like it. Good luck, and good vacuuming.

Mine has a variable speed roller switch that works well, I've used this a lot and it is terrific!

Here's my best guess. The vacuum has a two-position switch that selects for carpet and bare floor. I suspect the only difference is rotating brush function--on for carpeted floor and off for bare floor. I've never actually checked to see for sure, but I strongly suspect that's how one can turn the brush on or off. Hope this info is helpful.

I have a Dust Care vacuum canister, which automatically starts when I flip the ON switch on the nozzle of the wand unit. The Wessel Werk power head itself does not have a power switch on the head.

No, as long as the model pictured is still the same as when I had it. No there is no off switch, you have to make sure you store the battery clamps in their respective holders which are on either side of the handle. And never let the two ends come in contact with the same surface. That actually is one thing I did not particularly like, because in some situations an on/off switch would have been useful.

Yes it has an on/off switch. But these have proven to be crap. Out of 14 I purchased only 4 are now still working after just a few weeks of rain. On some the on/off switch works backwards. It is real cheep and leaks rain water inside destroying the electrical components. If you value your money don't buy it.

Yes one of the speeds turns off the brush. I use both because I have carpets all through the house. It's great for light use and saves you from getting the vacuum everytime.

Yes, it does have an on/off switch. The battery is easy to change and you will probably never want any other mouse again, just like me. It is wonderful.

Yes there is an on/off switch. I like this grinder. When it is new, it chips the glass until you've ground a dozen or so pieces and taken the edge off the spindle. Practice on some junk glass until it dulls slightly. After that, it's first class Mike

yes, it has an on-off switch for the powered brush which we turn off when vacuuming on wood
