Does the floor brush fall off when vacuuming? I have a Kenmore Progressive which I think is made by Panasonic and the brush falls off constantly.

The floor brush cannot fall off because it is positively held by a pop-up button that engages a hole on the brush. The button must be depressed to release the brush from the vacuum wand tube.

The floor brush snaps into place - to the point that its extremely difficult to remove. The brush that falls off constantly is the smaller dustiing brush. I wouldn't recommend this vacuum to anyone. It swivels so easily that its like a little pinball machine going down the hallway. I have a 40 year-old Electrolux that I much prefer.

No, the floor brush never has fallen off. I've had several canister vacuums over the years and never, ever, have I had that problem. Yours must be defective or else that particular make and model is defective. Hope this helps.

We've owned the Panasonic MC-CG937 "OptiFlow" model for about 6 months now and it has performed flawlessly. No brushes fall off, it is relatively quiet and has good suctioning capacity.

No, the brush stays in place. I am very pleased with this vacuum and the ease of use.

No that has never happened. So far I am very happy with the Panasonic. Had always bought Kenmore previously but got tired of poor construction.

I have not experienced that problem. The sweeper has been performing above expectations. The suction is amazing, it doesn't miss much.

It stops ! It also has a setting for hardwood floors where the brush is stopped but suction continues with the vacuum.

Thanks for the email and the great question :) For hardwood floors you have 2 options. 1. You can simply turn off the power head motor and use straight suction from the vacuum. or 2. You can attach the included hardwood floor tool that's designed to be used on all hard floors. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin Great-Vacs (seller)

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

No. It does not come with a replacement brush although it DOES come with a brush that's already attached to the vacuum. Also, you can always buy any replacements for this appliance, no matter what it is. Amazon has it all and they sell everything and anything you can possibly imagine for this vacuum. Overall if your thinking of getting it, I would say don't make yourself crazy and just get it. It's the best one out there and it's a great machine. I have had mine for a while now and have not once had a problem with it.... Good luck!!!

I purchased the DC28 a few weeks ago and recently took it to task on my hardwood floors. This vacuum has a "bare floor" setting, which stops the brushes completely; however, the suction action remains the same. When finished, I did not notice any scratches or scuffs on the floor (my floors are stained with two coats of Minwax polyurethane).

I have had a very positive experience with this vacuum on different floor types. I have pergo, carpet, hardwood and tile in my home and have found no issues with this vacuum. It is great that it doesn't "spit out" debris when using it on the kitchen tile floor or any of the hard surfaced floors. It has great suction power. I like that i can do all the floors without having to change to the hose part of the vacuum if i don't want to.

My apologies - I am not sure which one I received. It is hard to tell from the picture with the e-mail. It only shows one attachment. I was just impressed with the light of weight and pick up for a vacuum this size. I also purchased the Panasonic MC-CG917. In case you can't tell I am a fan of the Panasonic vacs. The last one lasted at least twenty years. The vacs are not heavy like many of them on today's market. I have hard wood floors and don't like the floor attachment on the 917 like I did on my old Panasonic. I don't know why they have had a thing about changing the floor attachments. Wish I could be of more help. If you get the vac and don't like the floor attachment ask them to send you the other one. It is nice that Amazon has the bags for the vacs. Many local stores try to sell you other brands that don't really fit as well.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

I have a very old Hoky that I love. I decided to get another one and the brush keeps coming off. I was very disappointed in it. It cleans great as long as the brush stays on. I don't use it on my hardwood floors, I only use it on carpet even though I have a lot of hardwood. I find a microfiber dry mop works best on dust and I use my reg vac for the hardwood floors. Hope that helps.

Mary - We have used the sweeper for about 3 years and have never had any problems with the brushes falling out.

Yes, the roller bar stops when you flip the switch from carpet to floors. It also has an attachment that does floors which I use because the roller bar is too cumbersome. The handle at the top slips out and creates a tube that the floor attachment is attached to. My only gripe about this vacuum is that the attachment for the floor does not have a place on the vacuum itself to store it. There are other attachments that are stored on the vacuum but not this particular one which I use every time I vacuum. That is my only complaint. My previous, now obsolete, Panasonic vacuum had this and this is the closest thing to that one I could find. For the price, this Panasonic vacuum beats out Dyson big time!

I bought a brush for my kenmore from amazon two times and it did not fit.go to sears in store or on line for the exact replacment. it is better to do that save u time. hope this help :)

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

I got the pet hair adapter because I have two long haired pets and I have long hair myself. I have hardwood floors with rugs and it does an amazing job. I'm actually shocked at how much hair it gets up daily. I'm not sure how it does with the original brushes.

I have wood floors and the best dog in the world. I added a 12 inch floor brush from sears parts, and the vacuum works great. I dumped my dyson boat anchor.

No my bristles have not fallen out..It is holding up quite nicely. We all love the brush. It does a great job.
