Does the brush rotate automatically or does it rely on suction to rotate?

The brush rotates automatically, powerful suction - good motor amp. Hope this helps. Kokokitty119

The brush automatically comes on with the on/off switch. If you unhook the hose to use it, the brush stops.

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is: Yes, it rotates automatically. The suction is great as well. I really like this vacuum. The only problem I have had with it is that twice the dirt bin popped off while i was using it. I think I must have accidentally hit the release button during use or maybe i didn't snap it in correctly after emptying it. Otherwise I've been very pleased with this purchase.

the brush does rotate automatically if you have a pet this is a very good buypowerful

yes, it rotates without having to loosen the fitting. I hold the fitting when I turn it just to make sure it does not loosen by accident.

It's got this little brush that extends out from it that rotates and sweeps corners. Trust me I was skeptical at first but it does a great job.

No it does not rotate on its own. You can move it to face wherever you like. Once in place, it does not move until you manually rotate it to direct the mist in another direction.

The wand brush doesn't rotate. But as a follow up, mine stopped working after the first week! It smelled like burning (not my hair but the fan area) so I had to return it. And it wasn't out of heavy usage.... T Just blew out on me.... Go figure! Hope this helps.

The brush twists and pulls... It has very thin guides in the plastic that if you twist or pull too hard you can pull the brush right off the hose. You need to put the brush back in original position to get the vacuum back.

You maybe thinking that the brush spins automatically. It does not. You use the brush just as you would were you using a blow dryer and a round brush. Except with this you only use one hand to curl/style hair. So quick release is not an option. It is all manual.

The "bristles" rotate. This is why it needs to be charged. I used the word bristles in quotes, because they are very thick and don't look like regular bristles. The brush works, but depending on whether your hair is course or thin, it may be more or less time consuming.

Yes it does, the first time I used it I thought the brushes were too stiff, they soften up a little after using, now it's perfect.

Yes. This brush has a vibration action. This works much better than the spin.

I've owned this vacuum for a year, and here's what you should know about it: The brush rotates, but it's not electrically powered. Instead it's powered by the vacuum's suction. If you have to vacuum a lot of long hair, then that hair can wrap around the edges of the brush where it turns, and eventually it gets stuck and is not able to rotate. Having talked to Panasonic, they suggested I take the vacuum to an authorized repair center that's located in the neighboring state. Apparently they don't accept mail-ins unless their place has a look at it first. No thanks. After some time I figured out the solution on my own: You then have to take the brush apart, clean it thoroughly, and put it back together. This can become a very tedious process if you vacuum often, and because of this it's not worth the money. Eventually I tossed the thing in the trash, and got the MC-CL902 which comes with an electric powered brush. This thing has been working great for the past several years now without any problems. Only two things to note is that the metal pipe is a little bit shorter than MC-CL485's, and this vacuum uses bags which need to be replaced once they've filled up with dirt. Same thing with its HEPA filter, but it usually needs replacing once every year to a year and a half.

Mine did loose bristles, and still does occasionally, but it isn't noticeable in the use or performance of the brush.

No, the hose does not rotate but it is made of high quality flexible material that does not kink easily, if at all. The head does turn sideways but because the design is asymmetrical, it keeps twisting to wherever it wants to go so it is almost impossible to adjust it to a fixed position. I've been using an attachment I luckily saved from an old vacuum, or else the crevice tool, to get under upholstery and beds. P.S. The suction of this little vacuum is terrific but I don't like it anywhere near as well as my old Mighty Mite. I opted for the AirExcel because it was bag-less; the only drawback to the Mighty Mite is having to purchase bags frequently.

It does not rotate. I wish that it did as well. Hope this helps you with you decision.

It rotates and uses the same brush heads. But it does not rotate as fast as the more expensive ones. I primarily use this for travel so for a short number of days it's okay with me. The other reason I got it is because it uses battery and not a charger. I have left many a charger at hotels.

It does NOT rotate. Like the earlier incarnation of battery powered brush, it vibrates back and forth,

Doesn't clog, but the rotating brush recently stopped rotating for me,and I've only had it for 2 months. (This was after I cleaned all the hair off, as well.) Without the brush rolling, it misses a lot of stuff.
