Does the handle rotate (go up and down) or only stay in locked, upright position?

I believe the handle spins... good quality rod. It does not flex like cheaper ones.

The handle had not done that with me. It has a locking ring that keeps it in place.This is a great machine and I'm glad I bought it.

Yes, the red button on the white handle locks the handle from either standing to moving straight to lay flat.

Yes, mine did. There's a switch on the side that will lock it in one position and not let it rotate. Maybe you accidentally moved that. Good luck with it.

Yes, It locks in the up and down position. There are two safety clips on the release bar that must be moved before you can press the release bar

you will adjust pulling up or pushing down when it is unlocked. To lock you just have to twist both extremities to opposite sides.

The bottom of the handle locks it upright into the base vacuum. I usually sit in a corner.

Yes, the handle can be turned in either direction. The grip on the handle is just a slip on rubber sleeve, it does not turn on the handle. It is difficult to operate with rubber gloves on since the grip does not turn.

No it, doesmt. Will always be upright. Only the handle slides down similar to luggage.

It only locks in an open position. When closed it is in an unlocked state (allowing gravity to do its thing).

No. The handle does not lock into place so you can't keep it in a fixed position.

It does not rotate. It stays in the fixed position. That is good since it keeps me from spilling hot water all over.

The handle relocks when it latches each time automatically. The inside lever always allows free egress.

Yes. It locks into position, if you lift and wiggle slightly, it lifts up a quarter inch and then you can rotate it. Once in the position you like, you can push it back down to secure it into place.

If mounted upside down it wouldn't turn in the other direction or lock securely when open

Yes. Handle stays still but stick is a number of parts that move independently. I love it!
