Does anyone use this on a hardwood floor? I have an older upright Dyson, but the wheels scratch the surface of my floor and the attachments don't work well for this. I am looking for a vacuum for my hardwood floors specifically.

We use it on hardwood floors and it has an accessory which makes it great on this kinds of surface. All stars.

Our house has tile floors. Our Dyson does a super job. The head on it is small enough to get into and under most things. The suction is super. It switches from carpet to floors with a button on the the attachment. It is light weight. I also use it on the floors in our 5th wheel travel trailer. I think you will be pleased with its performance on hard wood floors.

I dont have wood floors. I have low carpet plus some 12" tiles. This is a good vacuum in general, but it isnt that effective on tile - no matter what setting is chosen. Two things to consider on wood floors - the brush on this vacuum never stops spinning - its wheels and rollers turn smoothly but they are hard plastic.

Haven't had the pleasure? yet of cleaning---when vacuuming, usually have upholstery brush attachment available to lightly dust my Dyson---it hasn't needed a really deep clean yet and I use everyday---Have a warm, not hot or humid summer y'all

Yes! It works great on hardwood. That's all I've ever used it on. The attachment with the rotating brush is a bit narrow so it takes a while to vaccume large surfaces but it does an incredible job.

Danger Danger! The upright vacuum wheels scratched my hardwood floors. I repeat the wheels on the upright vacuum scratched my hand scraped hardwood floors. I would not EVER use this vacuum on hardwood floors of any kind.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

The vacuum works best on hardwood and tile flooring. It's not as smooth and easy to vacuum on area rugs.It works but you have to use more effort when vacuuming the rug. It's still a great stick vacuum.

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.

Yes, it's excellent on hardwood floors. There is an issue with the handle having the potential to break off. This happened to me after using one of their new brooms, but I contacted the company and they were good about replacing the broom at no cost.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

I use this model on daily in both my hardwood and carpet and did not have any issues with scratching . However I also previously owned the Dyson animal and didn't either . I will say though I actually prefer the Dyson over this unit for a few reasons: 1. Lighter - (Miele is very heavy)2. Do not need to buy bags 3. Pick up is better One thing I really do like about the Miele is the lights on it - you can see the hair on the hardwood really well with it- almost like a xenon headlight it is.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

I just took a look at the bottom. I don't see anything that would scratch hardwood floors. It has the two main wheels in the back and two small rollers under the vacuum head. Both of these are medium to firm rubber. Should be good to go.Jim

Unfortunately I don't have hardwood floors. I have tile floors and it picks up everything, hair, dust, and the smallest speck the eye can see. I just love it!

Mr. Starter, if you ended up purchasing this Hoover (or another canister vacuum model), what is your opinion of cleaning hardwood floors? I have the same dilemma.
