Is there a switch to turn off the brushroll?

The only switch is the on and off switch, however, if something get caught in the brush it will stop automatically.

No, but it has two speeds. One for hard floors and the other for carpet. It's a great vacuum. I love it.

There are two speeds on the Oreck and the brush roll is on both speeds but I found that it does a great job on bare floors on the lower speed without spewing the dirt and hair around which was a concern for me as I've experienced that on other vacuums.

Yes it does there is a slide switch accessible through a slot in the plinth that you can turn it off or on as you need. It is in the back side. You need to lift the mat to get to it.

there is a switch to shut off the roller drive. I have 50% Chery flooring and use it all the time. Use the long handle wand to really be able to get under furniture. Great Vacume hands down! You wiont be dissapointed. Vacume your carpets first with your old vac...then use the shark and find out how much was being left behind.

Just unpacked mine - guess what? There's a setting just for vacuuming. It turns the brushes off. Who knew? Have only done the rugs today. Guess my old vacuum cleaner wasn't cleaning very well!

Yes and a very easily accessible button to turn it off as well. It works great and is another awesome feature of this laptop.

I found nothing in the manual about turning it off. They list the following number for questions 1-800-955-0959 in the manual.

Jon there is no on/ off option for this device. It is strickly a filter for (when for example) when running a blender and the TV get all scratchy. This devive is used to plug in the blender to eleminate the scratches on the TV, while the blender is in use.

No. There is no switch for "On-Off" function. You can pull the plug to turn it off.

Yes you can turn the brush off and just have suction. I use that feature all of the time. Also, when using the hand tools the brush automatically turns off in the upright position. I have never had trouble getting the switch in the off position.

Yes. The brush can be shut off. When I tried it the suction was so strong that the vacuum was difficult to push on the carpet.

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

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.

No, however you can switch the brushes off (switch on the handle- super easy) and lower the head to setting 1 or 2 (button on the power head that you tap with your foot- also really easy) and it does a marvelous job. I love this vac because it easily switches between my hardwood floors and the rugs I have in the same room.

Yes. There is a switch that you press down once for floors and twice for carpets which turns the brushroll on.

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.
