If you want something to clean the hard floor, it would be best to try a machine like the swiffer wet jet or swiffer vac. This machine is made for carpeted floors, its not for wood or vinyl flooring. I've never come across a machine that will actually wash both. There are sine steamer cleaners for hard floors that I have been interested in getting but aren't a priority to me personally.

To Carol J. Moore. I noticed the first time I used mine that if the dirty water intake part is not put on perfectly, the machine will not suck out the water. I, too, thought the machine had quit working but fiddle with the fit, make sure it clips own low and tight on the front so you will get a good suction. It is easy once out get the hang of it, but csn be confusing.

This Hoover is only good for picking up dirt. It does not have a motorized brush scrubbing. So answer to your question is YES if just want to skim the dirt off the carpet or hardwood floor.

We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac. We have an older Steam-Vac, so I could see the superiority of it to the Quick and Light. The Q&L; had NO rotating brushes. We also have two Hoover Floor-Mates which are great on ceramic or stone floors. I would NOT use either machine on hardwood flooring as the water would eventually cause damage. TIP: Try using hot vinegar water as a cleaner on lightly soiled carpet. The smell of vinegar ( which repulses me ) vanishes immediately. It is a good alternative to the chemically based cleaners which can leave toxic residue. RgN We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac.

There's a height setting on the Dyson that allows you to vacuum both carpets and hard floor without changing height or making any other necessary adjustment. The suction from themotor is strong enough to work both flooring materials with equal success. I run my Dyson across all kinds of flooring material, and never make the slightest height adjustment.It's that good a machine.

I do not know we have hard wood floors but I imagine it can clean all but shag

The broom is just that. On bare floor it is great, carpet, not good at all. Awesome size & stores nicely. I am sorry that we bought it.

it has a carpet attachment, but the only time I've used it it didn't really work very well. I know it works swimmingly on hard work floors.

Yes, great machine for the bucks. Pick up dirt and leaves floors with a polish look. I don't have carpets; only have hard tile floors. Must keep filter clean.

No these are made for carpets only. cpu 1t and 2t can be purchased with option accessories that would allow you to vacuum bare floors

I have the model 41a. You are able to switch from carpet to bare floors. The carpet setting has bristles but I do not think they would damage the floor any more than a hand broom would. The bare floors setting has no bristles.

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

I don't think this machine would have that much suction. It is really good for the usual loose dirt,, stones, etc in the carpet. Hope that helps. Jb

No, but I do have an answer for you. I love my little Bissell, but I also have this, Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub with Bonus Hard Floor Wipes, FH40010B, and use it for my tile and wood floorings. It works well, and the floor is 99% dry when finished.

Yes it does, but if you want to clean carpets yourself you would be better off buying a Bissell or Hoover hot water type carpet cleaning machine. I bought this Yes it does, but if you want to clean carpets you would be much better off with a Hoover or Bissell hot water carpet cleaning machine. I bought the Koblenz for cleaning, polishing and buffing wood floors on which it does an excellent job.

Yes, it does bare floors, but in my experience it didn't do a great job. Partly because there are so many places it won't fit under and around where my bare floors are. My canister with a bare floor attachment did a much better job. If your area is wide open it should be ok.

Absolutely! The Bissell will clean better. You really don't want solid dirt in the machine. It will still find some though. I vacuumed thoroughly twice and the Bissell still had some grit in the dirty water.

Works great. It has a carpet setting and a hard floor setting. The suction is strong enough to clean up those bare floors with ease. Hope this helps!

It works great on carpet. You just have to attach the power nozzle. I think this vacuum is awesome. Most of my apartment is hard wood and I have several large, area rugs. It cleans everything great.

Never tried it on carpet. It is absolutely wonderful on all hard surfaces. I've used it on hardwood floors and concrete. If is great! When cleaning our wood floors I go back with a second set of pads and buff the floors making them look new.
