I have a Oreck XL21….Can beater brush be turned off for floating floor use? Does Oreck sell a vacuum for floating floors?

The Oreck XL21 has two-speed settings: high speed for carpet cleaning and low speed for bare floors. However, there is no mention of an option to turn off the beater brush completely. Oreck does not explicitly state that the XL21 is suitable for floating floors, but the low-speed setting may be intended for hard surfaces.
