does it do bare floors

It does. It does a good job, but I think it would likely scratch wood. I've only ever used it on linoleum.

There is a height setting specifically labelled 'bare floor.' It falls between a regular carpet and low carpet settings. But the brush does not necessarily turn off. This may or may not be an issue. When I use it, there doesn't seem to be an issue with the brush scuffing my wood floors.

Yes. You can use it for light floor vacuum jobs with no wipe attached. You can also take off the floor head and put on attachments for cleaning corners, dusting, furniture etc. I even used it on a small flat rug that I have at my entry way and it did a fair job. Of course not as strong as a regular vacuum. But for daily cleaning upkeep, it's very handy and easy to use.

The machine is awesome and so light. Yes it is designed for floors and another setting for carpet. I have all wood floors on our main floor. It gets a work out and you don't have to touch anything dirty!

In general, canisters are better for bare floors and uprights are better for rugs and carpets. I tried this model on bare floors and found it didn't work well. Although the motor may be powerful, the head rode so close to the floor that it actually pushed crumbs and things in front of it instead of picking them up. I also found it not very convenient to maneuver. I thought the design would make it very easy to move it around, but I found that in practice it was very awkward.

No it doesn't, but I have not found that to be an issue. I use it on throw rugs, Berber carpet, and a traditional carpeting and it works equally well on all three. It does have a setting to turn the brush off for bare floors.

I have hard wood floors and no carpet so am unable to answer your question.

If your question is regarding the pet attachments brush, no. iIf you mean the main vacuum, there is a switch to turn off the brush to vacuum bare floors. Hopoe that helps.

There is a lever to turn off the brush roller at the base so you get direct vac to floor only. I turn off the brush roller on bare floors.

No, it does not. It has a plastic frame that the material stretches around, but no floor.

it's okay. you have to go over them several times (and empty the cup often) if it's on a carpet or rug, especially high pile. bare floors are no problem!

Hi - I don't own this product yet but have been researching it and am going to buy. In checking other websites, including the Hoover site itself, it does say the brushroll can be turned on and off for bare floor cleaning

I dont have wood floors, but all tile because we live near the beach and it does a great job on sand and dog hair. It does go over most area rugs, but not if they have the trim that can catch in the roomba. ie indian rugs that need the trim combed. Hope this helps.

No, it does not. I have mine on carpet so it doesn't matter, but I don't know how well it would do on tile or hardwood floors.

No. Had to look up the manual online as mine didn't come with one, but in the manual it says "For use on bare floors or sealed wood floors. NOT for use on carpets."

The brush head is not powered so it is not suited for carpet. Bare floors is what it is best for.

Just like with most vacuums, it kicks the dirt back at our feet. Vacuum bare foot and you'll feel the particles hitting your feet. I have found that the only vacuum that doesn't do this is my canister vac and that's because it has a hard floor setting.

It doesn't. Not for me anyway. Way to hard to push on carpet. I would say it is just for hard floors.
