Is the brush on the carpet attachment electric powered? Description says non-electric hose.

No but as soon as you turn on the machine the rollers are spinning fast and doing it's job getting every possible thing sucked up! Trust me, buy a Miele and you will never buy another brand again :)

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.

No, it is electric with power cord. It is now in my garbage can. Further research so far is showing the Hammacher Schlemmer can opener to be very good. Am going to look into it. Here is the website if you are interested - http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=78380

It has a 3 way switch...I too have a Beam Rugmaster brush, and this hose is compatible. I have been very please with this hose. I purchased it to replace my $250 hose that ripped where the hose attached to the handle (the hose didn't swivel at the handle) This hose does swivel at the handle to is much easier to uncurl any kinks. It is also lighter in weight than my old hose. Recommended

There is a rotating brush, powered by the suction. I am satisfied with the results - use it for a long time. You can regulate the length of the carpet fibers. I can only say that is works well on the medium-short fibers.

The turbo head attachment has a suction-powered beater bar. I use it on one low-pile area rug and it does not work especially well, especially if there is any pet hair. The beater bar spins pretty fast when you pick it up, which may be why some people mistakenly think it is powered? But this is a clip-on attachment: there is no way it could be powered.

Not Electric, you use your own muscle, however, you can buy a small power orbital hand sander that will hook to the intake hose and life is good. Throw away the non-electrical hand unit, unless you just need the exercise...

No. You have to wrap the cord around the back of the vacuum in an awkwardly located area. **Please be aware that I had to dispose of this vacuum after 3 years due to a defect with the brush that cannot be repaired. It is NOT an authentic Electrolux. It is actually manufactured by the company that purchased Electrolux. It is also very heavy.

Yes it is. But, when you plug hose into outlet, unit doesn't turn on, there is a switch at the handle end of hose for on/off use -- the hose is wired, care must be taken when using this as it kinks constantly and I worry about destroying the wiring inside; So each time I vac, I now stretch it out throughout the rooms before hooking up.As stated in my review, I am totally unhappy with this product and curse it every time I use it. Since we built the house 30 years ago and outfitted it with NuTone system, I'm kinda stuck with it until I win the lottery. Good luck.

No, the unit's hose is not wired like a whole house central vacuum system and the unit itself does not have an outlet that is wired either. VacuMaid may offer a unit like that, but for my purposes (cleaning the car in a detached garage) it was not needed.

Yes it does. It also has an on/off switch on the hand grip end of the hose. Useful when you lift the power head off the rug to move or stop to move something and the head is sitting on the rug.

No it is not electric. It does work great though. I did notice that none of the attachments available will not work on this larger one so if you would like to order any attachments you need to get the smaller Marcatol

No it doesn't. This isn't an Electrolux product. It's for Eureka. Amazon hasn't changed that little detail. There is another product called the Electrolux hand power brush EL8BS. It's a little more expensive, but it works with Electrolux, where this Home care 62550D does not.

I'm sorry,but I haven't used the hose. I bought my Kirby refurbished and when I had a question, I called the business that refurbished the vac. They were great. Answered quickly, made suggestions and solved my problem. Try calling whoever sold yours.
