Does it have a beater bar brush? I need someting safe for my wool rugs, my upright is causing too much wear and tear.

Doesn't have a beater brush and, overall is over priced and under performing. Save your money and get a Hoover. You'll get a better quality vacuum.

I went to an Oreck store here in Minnesota and bought a different kind of brush that I wanted. Google Oreck store for your state and then call them and ask if they have the kind you want. I love my Oreck because it has power but is light weight. I wish you the best.

The standard brush is fine and I used it for six months. However, I also found it a little hard on the wood flooring so I purchased the Parquett Twister SBB 300-3. Most of my floors are tile but I do have some sections of carpets and wood flooring. The original brush is still best for tile and carpets but this Twister is ideal for wood flooring and does an excellent job.Highly recommended.

It comes with the attachments shown but it does not have a beater-brush that is on regular vacuums. The other attachments do fine on our stairs that still have carpet but I use something else for bedrooms and larger areas

No it doesn't, but I have not found that to be an issue. I use it on throw rugs, Berber carpet, and a traditional carpeting and it works equally well on all three. It does have a setting to turn the brush off for bare floors.

No, it doesn't have a brush feature and only holds a tiny amount of dust/hair. The suction for carpet will put stripes in the yarn (vaccuum patterning) but it really doesn't work on carpet at all.

it has a brush but i don't think it spins...it rolls when you push it...i use this in conjunction with my Kirby since this one doesn't have a bag. i have pets and i hated wasting my expensive kirby bags on all the hair.

You may have cleaned the brush bar also called the beater bar recently and placed the bar in wrong. The grey plastic part that fixes the brush in place on the end of the bar has one side that is longer than the other side. The longer side should be toward the vacuum motor while the rounded part should be placed the other way. There doesn't seem to be much information on this on the web. I had to take my machine in to a Dyson repair person to show me why it wasn't adjusted correctly. I hope this helps.David

No, it does not have brushes but it is the best cleaning head I have ever had. The wheels roll very good.

there is no beater brush included. If you keep the filters clean it works pretty well on thick carpets since it does have alot of suction. Some vac places online sell the wand and beater brush kit if you need one. I haven't needed a beater brush yet.

Yes it has a beautiful horse hair floor brush [2], one in front of the suction hole and the other brush is behind the hole along with 2 soft rubber wheels for support of the brushes and of course making it so easy for you to use, coupled with the dual swivel neck, it just glides over the floor. Plus you get a second floor brush that also does rugs and hard floors. And lastly I include as a free gift, a horse hair round dust brush to dust anything and everything - only at All Brand Vacuums. I do ship the same day at no extra charge, Jim

We have two Shih Tzu's and we had the same thing with the brush of the animal vacuum, although it's fairly easy to clean the brush. With the Dyson Flatout Head Tool, the strong suction is what works here. We recently had wool carpeting installed and the manufacturer indicated NOT to use a beater bar when vacuuming them. We use the Dyson Flatout Head Tool on our wool carpets and it works very well.

I don't specifically know because I don't have any but you could use the floor attachment that doesn't have a beater bar on those rugs. I have tried that on just my throw rugs and it seems to do fine without bunching the rug up.

I use the rake before I vacuum. There are no marks either way. I've used this type of implement before and find it's a necessity for lifting animal hair out of the carpet pile.

I have the model 41a. You are able to switch from carpet to bare floors. The carpet setting has bristles but I do not think they would damage the floor any more than a hand broom would. The bare floors setting has no bristles.

No. It does not come with a "beater" brush. You can purchase one to use with it, however. Contact GO Vacuum or go to their website for specifics on the Vacuflow HP8705 TurboCatEx Zoom. The Henry and Hetty vacuums are MUCH better than a shop vac because they have a great hepa filter and easy to load/remove heavy-duty filtration bags. It'll suck the hair right off of your cat on the high setting, yet are the quietest vacuums I have ever owned. The low setting is fairly gentle on drapes and lamp shades. Everybody loves our Hetty and Henry vacuum cleaners--even the ladies we just hired to come and professionally deep clean our 160 year old house. No. It does not come with a "beater" brush.

I've never heard of a beater-brush. It's not a shop-vac. This is much heavier duty. It has several attachments, like my Electrolux did. The long floor attachment has 2 settings, one for bare floors and one for carpets. I wish I could be more helpful! The friend who recommended it uses it on all types of florrs and floor coverings in many different houses; he's in construction. Possibly the company can answer you better than I. Good luck! I'm sold on this vacuum...and vacuuming is my least favorite thing to do.

No, but don't let that worry you. This is by far the best vac. I've had. I have wooden floors and rugs, and a very hariry dog. Picks everything up. The lady that cleans for me, loves this vac.
