Can you shut off the beater bar when cleaning hard surface floors? How many inches long is the beater bar?

The brush is 12 inches, the carriage is 14.5 inches. It cannot be shut off.

Great Question :) So when you snap the vacuum in upright position the brushroll will automatically turn off but no you cant "manually do it". However you never need to. So if you read the reviews you will read how people where amazed at how great it did vacuuming hardwood floors. So how it works is the brushroll will still spin but it will never make contact with the hardwood floors because of the rubber wheels and floating head. However from the amazing suction and brushroll spinning it cleans hardwood floors really good without putting on any tools.I hope that helps and let us know if you have any other questions :)Thanks DustinGreatVacs (seller) Great Question :) So when you snap the vacuum in upright position the brushroll will automatically turn off but no you cant "manually do it".

No, to my knowledge you can not turn off the beater bar. The head self adjusts to the surface. It seems to do fine going from thick pile carpet to thin indoor/outdoor polypropylene carpet to porcelain in my home. The beater bar is approximately 11.5" and the brushes can be replaced.

Yes, the great thing about this vacuum is that there is a foot pedal that allows you to easily turn off the beater brush for bare floor cleaning. Love it for my hardwood and tile flooring.

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

This blade is for a 4.5/5 quart mixer. As one other person said perhaps the blade needs raising. I have a 4.5 and no problem with this. The instruction manual states how to raise the height of the beater.

Not had the problem but be aware that the beaters will on this model will only go in one position out of the two slots available it shows this in the instructions one of the beaters has a collar on it. If you try them the other way around they will not engage properly. Best regards John

It is 35 inches from the floor to the middle of the bar at the lowest setting. You use a gymnastics mat with the bars that will reduce this by about an inch.

I have purchased 3 beaters for mine and this is the only one that fits. The others are to big. I love it even though it takes a little more umph to get it clean.

That is quite weird. I have the same model. When I turn mine on, I do so with the handle in the upright position. The beater bar doesn't engage or turn on. When I push down on the handle and begin vacuuming, the beater bar engages.When I want the beater bar to remain off while I use it, I depress the beater bar off switch while the handle is still in the upright position, then push the handle down to begin vacuuming. The beater bar never engages, or moves an inch. If you are using it as I described, does the beater bar still engage on your unit?

Hello - this will clean 12" - 7" will require an adapter. It is a great machine and really vacuum/dries the LP following cleaning. DEDICATED AUDIO

I can not check at this moment, but the floor attachment appears to be standard size, comparable to other vacuums. I use mine for dusting when I move around a lot and upright; if you plan to use it mostly for floors and carpets any other vacuum will do, in my opinion. That said, I like mine, except the off-on switch is hard to get at when on my back.

Yes. Remove the bottom plate. This will allow you to remove the beater bar. You could also Google video to see if anyone made a

I'm not where I can measure mine, but it's the exact same size as my beater that came with my artisan mixer, just with the scraper attached. I use mine all the time now, and have for over a year. It works like a charm.

There is no beater bar, but a long handle that does not bend. (hate it) and then a shorter attachment with a brush on it that can slide up and be brush less. These are the worst attachments I have EVER had on a Vacuum! EVER! Just being honest -I SO hate this vacuum and wish I NEVER bought it! Who knew I could feel so strongly about a vacuum!

Absolutely. This vacuum is most convenient in that next to the off and on switch is the switch that controls the beater bar. You can go from carpet to hard surface floor without stopping for even a second. Just flip the switch which is inches from the finger tips and the suction stays, but the brush quits rotating. As you move back to carpet, flip the switch back. So easy.

They are approx. 9" on both ends, 6" across where they curve in the middle and 10.25" to 10.5" across, where it would go from side to side of the sweeper base. Hope this helps!

If your wiring is correct for each outlet and you have a wired hose, you plug in the hose and have an on/off switch on the handle of the hose. When you use a beater bar for carpets, the switch will also turn it off and on.

Yes it would, but keep in mind its a small beater bar. I use it a few times a week and it works as intended . It is light, small, and inexpensive, so its not great for large carpets or in depth cleaning. Good for spot cleaning and quick pickups.
