Does it work well on wood floors? Has anyone bought the optional hard floor brush?

Did you ever get an answer on how the Tempo works on hard wood? I'd love to hear as that's all I have. From the reviews it sounds like a great and reasonably priced vacuum, but it seems to have mixed reviews on the question of bare floors. Thanks very much!

It works great with the area rugs, it even does well with our bath mats which have no backing, though it sometimes flips a corner up, but it's not a big deal. I upgraded mine to a brush roller which is less noisy on the wood flooring. You might also look at the XV-21 which comes with both.

no,it works great on hard floors but only fair on carpets.I have a dog so I use a different vac that has the brush to get any pet hair

On hard floors it is great for hairs, dirt, and dust bunnies! I have only used it on hard wood & cement floors. It is very important to empty it after each cleaning in order to maximize its effectiveness.

I have a combo of w/w carpet, hardwood floors, and tile. I use the floor brush attachment for the hardwood floors and tile. It works great! I also have the dog hair issue; not a problem.

mine passes through wood and rug pretty easily. It wont vacuum the hard wood as sufficiently as it does on rugs, but still not bad.....

It is especially good on wood floors. My cabin has only tile and wood floors. That is why I bought this item and it has performed as advertised

We are very happy with the unit on our wood and tile floors. You can easily turn off the power brush and just use suction. The only downside with this unit is the dirt container is small and you must empty it often.

we use it exclusively for hard wood floors, just as Rosemary says in her comment, you have to do a quick press... if it doesnt work, try it a few times. I always turn it on and click fast them vacuum our hard wood floors...no need to hold down anything

I use it on my entire downstairs which is completely wood flooring. It has great suction, the wheels (some kind of rubber I think) are not scratching the floors and the brushes don't touch the wood. I love it on wood flooring and I run it right from wood flooring to the area rug under my sofa area. It works wonderfully!

Yes the sweeper can be used on wood floors. Thats what I actually use mine for, and it works great.

I do not have hard wood floor, but I vacuum the kitchen tiles. There are 5 floor setting for hard wood floor you can put on BARE floor which is between 0 to 1 the brush should lift up and the suction will work without Brushing the floor.

I have two...the one I bought in the store came with a hard floor brush. The one I got from the internet did not. But...you can go to a vac store and they have bins with brushes to choose from. They just slip on.

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.

The answer to this question is a simple (yes) , This sweeper will get the job done on wood floors as well as carped runners & area rugs . I use this on my parquet floors in my apartment often without any problem. The little inexpensive wonder will do just fine.
