I have tried one and I like it, although not convinced to sell my Guardian Upright and jump for something else just yet.... waiting to move this spring and see what my new place's floors are like. In terms of the on/off brush roll switch, I don't recall, but I think it does that with the motor off. Its not huge issue, but nonetheless could have been better though out and designed. I feel they may have rushed this unit out to market too quick to compete with the other well known top end brands. Also, being partially made and designed in Europe makes me wonder if the US made hoses, wands and power nozzle are really meant for the unit. I think the Lux in Europe comes with different hoses and parts. Its still a solid machine by any count, and a step forward, but I still wonder about their other models, especially the upright that could use an update.
