Has anyone used this on engineered hardwood? It is ok?

If you know the manufacturer of your flooring, you should contact them directly. There are so many varieties of flooring products manufactured to different specifications, chemical resistance to degreasers or household chemicals can be discussed directly with them.

I have been using this on my sealed hardwood floors for about 7mo, and I have not had any problems.

Yes! I bought it to install oriented strand bamboo flooring which to my knowledge is about the hardest flooring there is and it worked very well with it. It did not miss a beat. I would not hesitate to recommend it for just about any type of hardwood floor.

Better than anything else I have found for an engineered hardwood floor. I love it.

I am sorry, but we never used it after all. We have hardwood floors a nd had them refinished professionally.

I purchased this specifically to use on my hardwoods. Works perfectly without damaging the floors.

I've had no problems with it so far. Initially I used the low setting because I was afraid of scorching my floors. It worked well on our high-finish oak. We've since moved and I've used it on higher quality maple using the higher setting. I've actually forgotten I had it on for 15 minutes and it did no damage to the floor. It can get really hot and will probably ruin less durable materials, but the two settings allow you work on various surfaces.

It is wonderful for hardwood. Keep it on the first setting so the brush won't turn. Love it! None better

I used it on oak hardwood. I gave to my relative who used it on very hard Brazilian walnut. They had no problems. I have not used it on what you are asking about. I would think it would work on that material. You may have to put a little more air pressure on it though. Why not ask Dewalt?

I didn't have much luck with this product... and I don't care for the smell of the product itself. I had better luck with the OUT! products and they have one specifically for hardwood. Good Luck!

I'm not sure. I have engineered hardwood and I use it sparingly. You can control the steam but it still scares me to use it too much. Works wonderful on tile bathroom floors but I'm sure that doesn't help you.

Have not tried it on hardwood floors. Believe there are other products more appropriate for hardwood floors.

I find it to be very effective with kiln-dried wood which has considerable dust. I use mine mostly on green wood though which has little dust compared to kiln-dried wood, and it tends to clog once in awhile with the longer, damp shavings - quick & easy to clean out though :-)

Ditto what Trinkles said, not on hardwood. Works pretty good on my laminate floors. I've also found that a good way to clean the machine when you are done w/it is to refill the container with just warm water and go over the garage or patio concrete service. Gets all the gunk out of the intake area.

I've been drilling through a 1/2 piece of birch hardwood when I use it and have had no problems. Hope this helps

I have used my 15 Gauge on hardwood tongue and grove and it did it's job. I have not worked with any bamboo but would not expect good results. Keep air dry and up to recommended level and oil frequently.

I have been using it on my hardwood floors and I am happy with the way it works - we have a lot of dust here in Colorado so there is a lot of dust to pick up.

I use this vacuum on hardwood and haven't noticed any problems. For the money I think this is a great vacuum. I have another Electrolux at 3 times the price and I actually prefer this one.
