Has anyone used this on hardwood floors? What do you think? My house is about 50/50 carpet/hardwood, and I just hate sweeping.

I bought this for my home which is a two story house, upstairs carpet and down stairs hardwoods and tile. I returned it after three days. I was hoping for a work horse, with three children and a cat that sheds but I was disappointed. It worked great on carpet but not on solid surface. It was shooting out of the bottom and hitting my feet.

No doubt a swiffer or dust mop after vacuuming is ideal, but it depends on how fussy you are.

Sorry we can't help you, we do not have hardwood floors, we have laminated floors and the vacuum works great. Hope this helps.

Did you ever get an answer on how the Tempo works on hard wood? I'd love to hear as that's all I have. From the reviews it sounds like a great and reasonably priced vacuum, but it seems to have mixed reviews on the question of bare floors. Thanks very much!

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

I just used the vacuum yesterday to vacuum my whole second floor which has hard wood floors and some area rugs. It worked beautifully!! I never have to pick anything up. I would have never bought the machine if it didn't pick up along the edges.

I do use it on hardwood floors and it does wring out pretty well compared with other mops. Good luck

Setting it on the lowest setting (for floors) not so great. It will grab tufts of hair and larger dirt, but the small dirt is left behind. I do, however, use the lift-off canister and hose to get around baseboards and in corners. I use a broom and swiffer for my floors.

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

its not bad at all, it has a separate attachment for hardwood floors. i use it all the time on my hardwood and stone floors..picks up everything. it leaves the floor clean and ready for a quick mop. the best thing is that its also flat enough to go underneath sofas and furnitures.

Thanks for the email and the great question :) For hardwood floors you have 2 options. 1. You can simply turn off the power head motor and use straight suction from the vacuum. or 2. You can attach the included hardwood floor tool that's designed to be used on all hard floors. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin Great-Vacs (seller)

I use this vacuum on hardwood and haven't noticed any problems. For the money I think this is a great vacuum. I have another Electrolux at 3 times the price and I actually prefer this one.

I do vacuum b swiftly and it will do a great job.efore use of the haan. It's safe if the hardwood floor is not kept wet, use it

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!

Yes it works great on my natural cherry hardwood. However use the pad or hold off floor for the 15-20 seconds it takes to heat. It does a wonderful job. I have tried and still use Bona also but like this better I either sweep or vacume be fore I use it. I have a lot of wood floors and a dog so I like to pick up as much as possible. I used it last night after my husband dropped a container of yogurt which splattered all over my kitchen!

I bought the Dyson DC33 a few months ago and it is the best vacuum I have ever had. I have mostly carpeting and some hardwood but it works well with both. You may want a response from someone with all hardwood flooring BUT I must say the thing is powerful.. I told my brother in law to get one for my sis for Xmas... unromantic gift of course! haaa

It does good on hardwood, I use a broom for hard to get corners and such and the vacuum for the rest
