Is the floor attachment safe for delicate hardwood floors?

Appears so - hardwoods are all I have in my house. As long as you don't press down on the tube/head while using it, I can't imagine it doing any damage.

delicate may mean different things to folks but i use mine on my sealed, real wood hardwoods and it causes much less damage than my german shepherd dogs!

I have hardwood,tile, slate and orientals. My answer is yes-- however with any vacuum cleaner/ and or attachment caution should be used with the edge mouldings, as it seems they are what gets harmed with over zealous vacuuming, it's a dance not a marathon!

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.

Yes, it works fine on hardwood floors. I had to be careful around smaller rugs that weren't secure as the vac wanted to inhale them.

Absolutely yes. I have avoided all the ones that say they will harm wood floors. (although mine are so old and damaged that it would be hard to tell.) It's better for carpets but it works perfectly on the wood too. However, I don't soak the wood, as I would a carpet. I just wipe it on and leave it.

I don't use a mat with it and I have hardwood floors -- i haven't had any issues or problems. I think you'll love this machine. I've had no issues or complaints.

We have wood floors too. It doesn't seem to be a problem for us at all, but I have considered butting some on just in case.

I have hardwood floors throughout my home and I have not had any problems with the wheels marring the floors. The wheels are not a soft spongy rubber, but a nice smooth plastic that should not harm your floors.

Not at all. I use it on my hardwood and on my porcelain ceramic tile floors. If your floors are sealed, I would not worry. Mine are & I have been using pine sol or Lysol for 5 years with no probem. The pad is so easy to attach, you just throw it on the floor & press down, it velcros to it

Yes, I used on hardwood floor with no problem. The lever handle has a plastic pivot that is made to not mark a hardwood floor. Use the felted pads on hardwood.

I have used the Miele on hardwood floors and I had no problem with it. It works just fine.

Yes. I have dropped mine several times. Just yesterday from the counter top onto hardwood floor.

I don't have hardwoods, either, but you might find it helpful to know that she is no delicate beast. This vacuum is rugged and the brushes are tough. My laminates take a beating if I forget to rotate the switch to the correct flooring level. Maybe not so good against the finish on your floors..?

Yes it is. Unfortunately, not hardwood floor safe. I think I need to get another one since the dog broke the first one.

The manual specifically says not for wood/carpet floor use. That does not mean you cannot use it that way, but if you do so and something goes wrong, you can blame nobody but yourself.

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.

It is perfectly safe to use this mop on Hardwood floors, just make sure they are sealed and your floors will look great in no time!

I've never used it on hardwood floors, because I think it would be too slippery. I use other products on my floors like Orange Glo and specialty floor products.
