I am considering buying the Miele S194 for wood floor and oriental carpets for in between vacuuming. Is this vacuum gentle enough for wood floors?

Yes, I use it on bare floors with no problem. Just so you know, that "in between" vacuuming can't be for deep down debris. I'm not sure, but it might not be able to pull up that kind of stuff. It has strong suction, but it doesn't have a beater brush. If your Orientals don't have deep pile, and you don't have ground in dirt, maybe it'll work. You can buy a beater brush for it separately.

It does great on both wood floor and carpet. There is adjustments for carpet heights as well. It is a great Vacuum. We have a pet with hair that gets deep into the carpets and I have been happy with its performance. Also love that I do not have to clean out the bag less containers anymore. The bags hold a lot! I have not changed my bag in the last 6 months if not longer and I vacuum daily. The only downfall is that the bag indicator does not work well, but it is easy enough to open the front and see how full your bag is.

I have used this vacuum on all types of flooring with great results. We have hard wood floors, tile floors, carpeted areas and bamboo rugs, and this vacuum does a great job on all.

It works very very well. I have hard wood floors and carpets. Absolutely no problem.

We had the same experience. I agree with the commenter that the vacuum does not work well on high carpet or in dealing with long hair and a fair amount of pet fur. After my experience with Miele, I would recommend folks to buy a dyson.

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.

Absolutely! We've had Kirby, Orec, Hoover, Electrollux & other vacumes. I bought this one because most of our flooring is tile or wood, for which it does a superb job, but I was astounded at how well the powered worked on the carpet. The unit is light, versatile, powerful and gets under nearly everything except our sleeper sofa and Chinese hutch. It is by far the best vacume we've ever owned.

No, I found Shark has one that works far better. The Miele is good vacuumed, just was a lot heavier than I thought it would be. Here is the Shark I brought for furniture. Shark Bagless Cyclonic Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, V1510

I love my Miele vacuum cleaners. While they are a more expensive initial investment, they are real workhorses.

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.

We have 4 dogs with carpet in bedrooms and area rugs over hardwood floors. For me, it takes a very long time to fill up a bag. Having had Dyson bagless before the Miele I can tell you that it is worth the cost of bag replacement to contain all that dust and fur. The Miele is superior.

This vacuum is ideal for hardwood floors. No brushes or moving parts touch the floor - just a soft rubber line that moves the dirt towards the suction. I have wide plank exotic Kempa wood floors and ceramic tiles - works great on both.

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 have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

I do not think this vacuums bare floors well. It does an okay job but some things are spit out when doing bare floors. I would also be afraid of scratched hard wood and have not really used it for that. As a regular carpet vacuum, this is a fantastic one and has lasted me over four years and it still going strong.

its not bad at all, it has a separate attachment for hardwood floors. i use it all the time on my hardwood and stone floors..picks up everything. it leaves the floor clean and ready for a quick mop. the best thing is that its also flat enough to go underneath sofas and furnitures.

The S8590 Marin Canister is my first Miele. It works very, very well on my hardwood floors, area rugs, and carpeting. I have two dogs. It is so quiet, my dogs don't bark at it!
