I have been using it on my newly refinished hardwood floors without any issues. Does not seem to scratch them and it picks up well. However I have found it somewhat hard to move over my new plusher carpet even on the lowest suction level.

I think the electrocomfort attachment sucks on hard surfaces but that's probably just me. I have linoleum and tile in my house and I prefer not to use the carpet attachment for it.

I find that the electrocomfort attachment works very well on our hardwoods and tile. It has wheels and rolls along nicely. It's nice to be able to go from carpets to floor without changing the attachment.

Hello- we purchased the Delphi and the special parque floor brush about 2 months ago and love it. We use it on our rugs, hardwoods and kitchen tile. It works great. I had borrowed my sisters previously before buying to make sure it was worth it and it was! In fact my parents got one too because they were so impressed with its versatility and effectiveness (we have a 1 year old, 3 year old and a cat) so we use it every day !!

I bought the Black and Decker floor attachment that fits all Flex on Amazon for 20.00 ....it works better than I expected from the reviews I read. I wanted it for an easy way to get the dust under beds on hardwood floors... The strange thing about it is the metal pole has a round hole where it connects to the floor attachment....make sure you slide the floor attachment on the metal pole far enough to cover that hole or you'll loose most of the suction.

Yep. I hate to add to the chorus, but it scratched my brazilian cherry hardwoods. Just like the above post - if a hard particle gets dragged, it scratches the floor - I sometimes don't notice until a few scratches are made. I'm not happy - I paid a lot of money for the vacuum AND the floors! Does Dyson have anything to say about this problem?

It does come with a combo-brush that's suitable for bare floors and carpets. The caveat here is that the bottom of the brush has a metal plate instead of just a cheaper all plastic base. I've never used it on wooden floors so I can't say that it won't scratch but it seems unlikely as there is enough clearance. The front of the unit has a brush and the rear has 2 plastic wheels to keep it raised enough off the floor. See my full review on the unit; it's not as bad as a lot of reviews would let you believe! For the price it's a very good vacuum but like most bag-less models it needs its foam filter rinsed out otherwise it gets plugged. Your mileage may vary on filter rinses.

If you are dealing with long hair shedding on wood or tile floors (I have a Husky and hardwood floors), then this brush does a great job of cleaning large areas. It will work to a degree on low pile carpets, too. Otherwise, for furniture and such, my recommendation is for a stiff-bristle 4-or-5 inch brush attachment. This particular tool is mostly for floor use. It works on window screens too; but keep in mind that the bristles in this brush are soft so they don't scratch floors.

It works very very well. I have hard wood floors and carpets. Absolutely no problem.

It works very well on wood floors without any special optional additional purchases. I also have travertine stone floors and it works well on those, too. I am on my third same vacuum. I love it!

Kind of....I just bought one to help with finding floor joist for "squeak no more" screws. Carpet is about at the max range of the deep setting. I pushed down on mine while scanning and it will try to display some of the segments when it gets near the joist. It worked fine on hardwood parquet flooring. I tried both this e50 and the more expensive one on display at local Lowes store, and the e50 would sense the stud better from the furtherest distance than the higher end model, so I went with the e50.

It is better on hardwood and tile, actually. But overall this is a very bulky, inconvenient, heavy machine. If you're going to spend on a Dyson, get a better one... With the ball etc.

According to the instructions, you can use this model on sealed hardwood floors with an extra attachment (not included). I have not used it for that, however. Hope this helps.

The Titan comes standard with both a parquet floor brush AND a Hepa filter. The Delphi has neither but you can buy them separately if you need them. The parquet floor tool is around $70 and the filter about $50 for Meile brand (a lot less for generic). However, unless you have very bad dust allergies the Delphi has a very high quality "air clean" filtration system that works quite well without the added expense for the Hepa. I went with the Delphi (and purchased the parquet floor brush) because I didn't need the Hepa and I happen to like the white color much better than the Titan (in red). Hope that helps!

I agree with both Steve Brenner and John C, based on a few months of experience with this attachment bought for use on our hardwood floor at home. Also, the bristle row has a couple mm of gap all along the front too, i.e. they are raised vs the rest of the bristles around the sides and back, I suppose to get the wind speed up as it advances. When you pull it backward across a not yet vaccumed section of floor the bristles in the back always touch the floor and are dense enough there to kick the dirt back/not permit it to be pulled up. You wouldn't use it to vaccum carpet much but can hit the occasional section. Grabs dirt out of the sliding glass door jamb better than the hard plastic attachment does, by a long shot. The bristles are in great shape after several months of use, a couple times a week on about 2k ftsq of house. Long story short, get this attachment for your hardwood or sensitive hard flooring materials, and push it forward to grab dirt, pull it backwards across floor that has already been swept.

I have both! The Linx has more of a standard vacuum feel when using it. The Ergorapido is balanced differently and so took a little to get used to--I think it's top heavy.They both clean about equally on hard wood or tile floor, but the Linx has a bigger "mouth" area, so I think it does the job faster/more efficiently. The main thing is that the Linx works on carpet but the Ergorapido doesn't. I got the Ergorapido because I wanted the pull out hand vacuum. The Linx is perfect for our vacation house that is mostly wood with an area rug. The Ergorapido is perfect for our house with hardwood floor for part, and I can use the hand vac to clean the couch, but I have my standard vacuum for the rest of the house. I have both!

That is a great question. Unfortunately I have no idea. All I know is that I love mine! It works way better than I'd expected. Perfect for wood and ceramic tile floors.

I have laminate and tile and it works fabulously on both of them in both mop and sweep mode. Do you mop your wood? If so, I would think this would be perfect. It leaves absolutely NO streaking and uses no chemicals and I love it. I would go with the 380 t if you have a large house. I have the white one but now wish I had gone with the black model because it covers more and charges longer. But in any case, I would buy another one of these again in an instant if this one ever quit. Saves me so much time and my floors sparkle. No more dust bunnies!

I recently purchased one of these and I have 2 dogs, hardwood floors, rustic travertine tile, and carpet. It works fantastic for me. I used to have 3 separate cleaning tools, none of which did a good job. I was hesitant like you because I have never had a vacuum like this (only up rights). I can honestly say I will never go back to the upright. The wood floor is cleaner with this than when I sweep with a broom. It also is powerful enough to get dirt from the grout filled tile. The other amazing thing about this model is the pet upholstery attachment. I let my dogs up on the sofa and this attachment easily removes all the dog hair. I am one happy camper.

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!
