How does this work on textured tile floors? Or does it need to be 100% flat surface?

It works fine on a textured floor. We use swiffer floor pads on it, works great.

I use mine on two floor areas: one is smooth 4"x8" glazed tile laid in a herring bone pattern with slightly sunken 1/2" grout lines; the other is a slate floor with moderate texture (~1/16"-3/32", but no sharp edges), tiles sized 6"x6", 6"x9",6"x12", and 12"x12", also with 1/2" slightly sunken grout lines. The Braava works beautifully on both floors. A heavier texture could be a problem.

I am not sure what you mean about textured. I have wood, bamboo and TrafficMaster floors. I think it would snag if the floors are not smooth.

I have only used it on Linoleum and commercial linoleum. It is super quite, but I will say I was unimpressed with the mopping part. The sweeping is great, but not for a small kitchen. My sister has a large kitchen and it was perfect for her. When I used the mopping part I used the swifter wet mops on it and they ended up drying out. Then I tried their mop and soaked it in cleaning stuff and it ended up drying out. As for the mopping it doesn't do a great job, but the sweeping is really goo. Hope this helps.

I would say, not as well. There's no pile in the cleaning pad to deal with deeper grooves. Pad is like a wash cloth or towel, only thicker. I love the floor mopper, but unlike the vacume robut that keeps cleaning from room to room, the mopper pad needs to be rinse out regularly, like a few or more times in each room, depending how dirty your floor is.

I would use it for engineered flooring. It really was impressive with tile, and that's much more difficult to adher to. Is your floor popping up? Is it supposed to be a floating floor?

I mostly use it on my wood floors, however I have tile in my bathrooms and laundry room. It seems to work just as well on these floors.

I have ceramic tiles, it works great. There is an attachment hose and fittings you can purchase for not much extra that does real well on the hard floors. It gets around the edges and corners better than just using the main Sebo vac on hard floors.

I've used it on laminate, hardwood, ceramic tile and vinyl. It has worked great on every single surface. The only problem I've ever had with it is it' incredibly loud. Works awesome, wear headphones!

It will definitely clean and sanitize any floor surface, smooth or textured. It removed grunge from the textured vinyl floor in my laundry room that I didn't even realize was there. It also did a great job on my daughter's textured tile. But you don't say whether your "fake wood" floors are vinyl (planks?) or laminate. Flooring manufacturers offer "fake wood" looks in both materials (as well as tile). This mop will be fine on vinyl. However, from the research I have done, steam mops are not generally recommended for laminate or real wood floors unless they are sealed. Laminate floors are essentially like layers of pressed cardboard with a pretty fake wood-looking top layer. However, with that being said, if your laminate is not sealed, it probably depends on the quality of your laminate whether or not you can use the steam mop on it (and how often) without problems. Although my laminate has a high wear rating, it is not sealed so it is super-sensitive to water. The seams swell and bubble really easily if any water is left on it for very long. When I first got the Powerfresh mop, I tried it on my laminate at the lowest steam setting. I ran the mop very quickly, not allowing it to steam in one place, nor did I rest the wet mop head on my laminate when I stopped mopping. I didn't notice any problems but frankly I would be hesitant to steam my particular laminate very often. (I primarily bought the mop for the tile and vinyl floors I also have in my house.) Another thing I tried on my laminate was to allow the mop pad to get wet (but not soaked) with steam and then I turned the steam completely off and just damp mopped the laminate without actually steaming it. It still cleaned my floor really well but hopefully eliminates the risk of steam being forced into the seams. This was far easier than damp mopping with a traditional mop and I feel much more comfortable using this method on a more regular basis with my laminate. I would say if you have laminate, use a steam mop with caution, especially if it is not sealed.

I used it on my such tile and it worked great. I had a neutral beige tile that required no mixing and I was happy with result.

i do not think it will work on a textured wall.you should check with the seller of this item.we purchased it and used it on a flat wallregardsmikewww.stonetechnologiesinc.com

No it doesn't. It needs a hard surface. I tried it with a tile on top of the carpet in my bedroom figuring that would give it a flat surface, but the carpet underneath the tile had enough give that it did not work either.

Well I am not sure about a textured shower floor. I have a textured anti-slip tub floor and it stuck just fine. Hope that helps.

On bare floors it is not that good, unless you use the "Rug" setting. By it self on "Bare Floors" it's not good.

It works great on my grooved & textured ceramic tile floors using using the floor cleaner recommended by Oreck but you must use old towels or rags to wipe up the liquid/dirt before it dries.

I've only tried it on stone floors and it doesn't damage this surface type.

It has great suction. Its designed so that it doesn't clog with hair/fur. I don't see why it wouldn't work on hardwood/tile floors.

I have only tried it on wood floors in the house, and on cement outdoors. They work great on those surfaces. If the tile has a texture, and is not the shiny, slick surface, I would think it would work fine.

This is a wonderful product. I use it on carpets, bare floors and tile with perfect results. Just place carpet glide attachment on when doing carpets and rugs. Hope this helps.

I think it works really well on laminate floors. No marks at all. I highly recommend it.
