Do the rotating brushes turn off for use on wood floors?

No, but I use it all the time on my hardwood floors with no problem. Same with the kitchen tile. This is a great vacuum, especially if you have pets.

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.

Brush has it's own power button so you can choose on or off. It also shuts off automatically when stowed in upright position. Wheels are a hard plastic with rubber on outside.

said on June 24, 2014 | Edit The brushes move by bleed-off vacuum. They are not electric, nor do they run off of the electric motor. The plastic bar that you see moving as you lower the handle allows some vacuum air to move the brushes. If you turn the cleaner over, there is a small screen filter that often gets clogged. I believe it is part of the intake air. When I cleaned this filter, the brushes spun freely.

The Dirt Devil Vibe has a switch that allows you to turn the rotating brush on and off, which would be your setting for solid surface floors (off) and carpet (on).

Yes, there's a switch next to the on/off switch to turn off the brush roller. Very convenient.

There is a removable platter on the bottom. It disengages and you can clean it. There are no rotating brushes like the Roomba but there are fixed bristles on the removable platter. Part of the floor scrub is it kind of wiggles across the floor. If you have a lot of small granule particulate, the "suck up" section gets clogged pretty quickly. But, I let it roll for about 20 minutes then dump old water, fill with new water and clean off the bottom platter.

Yes. the brush will run for two minutes beeping at thirty second intervals and then it will turn off.

No - but it does have hardwood floor or carpet adjustment. When I'm vacuuming my hardwood I turn the carpet rotating heads off. The switch is located next to the power button. The switch is a great feature, I don't have to bend over and adjust the floor height based on what I'm vacuuming I just push the button when I move to carpet.

If your question is regarding the pet attachments brush, no. iIf you mean the main vacuum, there is a switch to turn off the brush to vacuum bare floors. Hopoe that helps.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

No rotating brushes. It has a good amount of suction.....but I don't have pets so I don't know if it would work for that.

No the brush is not rotating. You use it the same way you would a round brush. Up and out.

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!

You can turn the brush roll off, which works good for hard surfaces. And the turbo brush is superb for hair!

No, there is no rotating brush. I'm not sure if you can buy it as an accessory.

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