Question: Do I need to turn off brush roller when vacuuming wood floors?
Document: Good suction. Works very well on the hard wood floors, too. Just turn off the roller. My carpets look better than they have in years! The roller brush and suction are so good that the high traffic spots don't look as matted down anymore. Wish I had bought this vacuum years ago.
I've not owned a vacuum that has a hose that's so compact yet stretches so far! I like how you also have the option to turn off the brush roll so you can vacuum tile or wood floors. It also lays flat so you can get under tables, furniture and beds without an issue.All of the filters rinse easily under water so there's no need to spend more on bags and filters.
The fact that you can turn the roller brush on and off is also a feature that I enjoy and have not seen on other machines. The cord is super long as well, so no need to plug and unplug to vacuum different rooms.
so you are no longer burning out your rubber belts and ruining your carpets and the brush roller, when using this upright vac like a canister vac..Also it it is much more gentle on your hard wood floors to not use the brush roller agitator. So this vacuum gives you important features and options.The only other problem I would see coming (in the possible near future) is the motor gets pretty warm to the touch and can overheat if you use this vacuum for extended periods.
I was so excited to get this vacuum. It was easy to assemble, small, lightweight, and the ability to turn off the roller brush for hard floors is great. The problem is the hose. On the second day I used it, the hose broke from the attachment, but I wasn't at the top of the stairs like one of the other reviewers, I was on the third step. I wasn't putting any stress on the hose.
Other things I like are being able to turn the brush roll on and off to vacuum wood floors, and the bumper comes in handy to help keep furniture safe and scuff-free.I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review, but my opinions are entirely my own. We really like it, and I thought you might, too.
Like others, I was very excited about this vacuum. We have a modest old 2-story home with 11-foot ceilings, and wood floors throughout with area rugs. I loved the idea of a lightweight machine with a very long hose that could reach high and far up stairs. I also wanted to be able to turn off the beater brush for better wood floor cleaning. We also have two professional shedders for dogs so a bagless was a must.
Most other vacuums have hoses that don't really expand, and you end up pulling the whole thing over. This hose expands and contracts easily without the vacuum itself tipping over.The fact that the roller brush can be turned off makes it great for vacuuming on hard floors as well.
That was very important for me because I have mixed flooring, carpet and hardwood and another thing I also like about this vacuum is the power and on-off floor switch is located near the handle so no need to bend down to turn on and off the vacuum or the vacuum brush roll, anyways I started to vacuum the floors and it picked up all the dust and sand and dirt I vacuumed over and no splatter. That was also a big plus for me. So I am going to keep it.
This dandy tool is perfect for my needs: light, occasional vacuuming of hard floors. The vacuum itself is light and portable. It's good I can turn the brush off as I mainly just use the hose. I am cautious disconnecting and reconnecting it after reading the reports of clamp breakage. Emptying is quick and easy. Performance is great: I sucked more dirt in minutes than my old Hoover would do in an hour.
Answer: I don't know that you need to but I bet it works better if you do.  And this machine DOES have a switch for this, while some of the other ones don't.  It's also unnecessarily noisy and wearing on the machine to have the roller on when you are vacuuming furniture, walls etc.
