Is there an on/off switch for the roller brush to do hardwood floors?

No. You can set it to bare floor height, which seems to be fine, in my experience

Not that I can see. I have two Bissell vacuum cleaners but have only used them on carpet. I like this one as it is lighter than the heavy duty one.

Not in this model. Wish it did. That and a longer hose extension for the tools would have made this a perfect vacuum...

No, it is not made for use on hard wood floors, and it doesn't have special switches for different areas, at least not that I know of.

Yes there is an on/off switch. I like this grinder. When it is new, it chips the glass until you've ground a dozen or so pieces and taken the edge off the spindle. Practice on some junk glass until it dulls slightly. After that, it's first class Mike

There is no on/off switch. I plug it into an extension cord that has an on/off switch.

Yes, the brush roller has a switch that can be turned on for carpets and off for hardwood floors... And easily operated with your foot

It is an on/off switch . . the kind that rolls around and clicks on or off.

Yes there is an on and off switch. It a pretty good hair dryer I dont think it's adjustable , never tried it.

it has a button to change from carpet to floors. I would like it better if it changed automatically BUT that is the only thing I kind of dislike. this vacuum cleaner is worth every penny. I used it on my wood and ceramic floors and the carpet.

There is a brush bar button right next to the on-off button that can be used for sensitive carpet and flooring. It defaults to on but just press it to turn off roller brush. Best vacuum ever!!

The Dirt Devil Vibe has a switch that allows you to turn the rotating brush on and off, which would be your setting for solid surface floors (off) and carpet (on).

Mine has a variable speed roller switch that works well, I've used this a lot and it is terrific!

No, there is a cord with a floor switch on it to turn the light on and off.

The unit has a beater brush in the head for carpet which can be turned off for hardwood or tile. A two position switch in the handle controls this function. First position turns on the vacuum, second position turns on the beater brush. The H300 kit also has a hard wood/ tile attachment. Both work very well and I would recommend.

No brush roller. There is a tiny rubber strip that acts as a scraper such as on a dust pan.

Yes, the switch is located on the power cord and is meant to rest on the floor so you can tap your foot to switch the button on/off.

Here's my best guess. The vacuum has a two-position switch that selects for carpet and bare floor. I suspect the only difference is rotating brush function--on for carpeted floor and off for bare floor. I've never actually checked to see for sure, but I strongly suspect that's how one can turn the brush on or off. Hope this info is helpful.

I don't know that you need to but I bet it works better if you do. And this machine DOES have a switch for this, while some of the other ones don't. It's also unnecessarily noisy and wearing on the machine to have the roller on when you are vacuuming furniture, walls etc.
