Automatic standby switch

A safety/standby behavior is noted: the brushroll stops spinning when the vacuum is upright or when using the hose/wand.

Several reviews mention an automatic pause/standby behavior when the vacuum is stood upright and quick resume when tilted back down, which is helpful for interruptions during cleaning.

Some C3-compatible electric powerheads (e.g., SEB 236) are described as having an automatic standby feature that stops the brush when you lift the handle, and certain models also mention park-system shutoff behavior. This feature is attachment/model dependent, not universal.

One reviewer notes it won’t run unless the head is lowered into the cleaning position, which helps prevent accidental spinning while upright.

Multiple reviews mention it automatically lowers power when lifted, which can save battery and reduce unwanted suction events. In quick spot cleans, that automatic behavior can feel like an extra step or delay.

A small set of reports describe the robot unexpectedly powering off and needing to be placed on the dock to restart, which can make it feel unreliable if you encounter this behavior.
