Turning off the brush roll stops debris scattering on hard floors

The brush roll is the reason debris scatters — turning it off fixes that.

On bare floors, a spinning brush roll doesn’t always grab dirt. Sometimes it flicks it sideways like a hockey puck. Switching it off lets the suction do the work directly, and the debris goes where it should — into the bin, not under the couch. It’s a simple on/off toggle, but it changes how the vacuum behaves on hard floors entirely.
