How is it on bare floors?

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!

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!

So far, but I've mostly used it on carpet. I have a lot of hardwood floor, however, so I'll keep you posted.

It's very light, you can easily to lift to sink or toilet. You put water as much as marked. I wash my floors 2-3 times a day because I have pets, and it's very easy for me. I always wash the dirty mop in washing machine and put the clean mop. After washing I don't put in dryer, I just hang to dry.i like it.

I have used it. Slippery when wet, of course. Dry, it was fine. No observable residue, but my floors are light.

Works well with remote on the floor carpet & outside but fastest on a bare floor.

My son's house is a large part bare floors and he says it's really hard to use Enforcer out in the open. He does use it under the furniture where it's not walked on. I'd suggest, if you want to try it on bare floors, use it before you go to bed, leave it all night, then sweep it under the furniture and area rugs the next morning. It doesn't seem damaging to bare floors, but it's really not designed for them. You might use it on the area rugs, as fleas like to congregate in such places. You might also lift the cushions on your sofas and chairs and sprinkle it under them.

This is awesome on carpets and furniture, but not so good on bare floors. It will suck up big stuff, but it doesn't do nearly the job that a canister vac with the brush does. The lift-off option is great and with the pet attachment it's a breeze to get hair off of the stairs, but if there is sand on the stairs you would need to lug the whole vacuum to do an adequate job. No bags, like the dyson, and very easy to clean.

It depends on the surface it sits and ambient temp...my issue is that my dog prefers the bare floor :-(.

In general, canisters are better for bare floors and uprights are better for rugs and carpets. I tried this model on bare floors and found it didn't work well. Although the motor may be powerful, the head rode so close to the floor that it actually pushed crumbs and things in front of it instead of picking them up. I also found it not very convenient to maneuver. I thought the design would make it very easy to move it around, but I found that in practice it was very awkward.

Since this model can be used on either carpet or bare floor, there are two switches. One of the switches is on/off and the other switch is for carpet/floor. It runs beautifully or either.

I have had my Scooba for about 5 days now. Have ran it 3 times. Love it! My home is about 5000 square feet and the first level is almost all laminate, so roughly 2000 square feet. I find that it really does get about 95 percent of the floor cleaned and I have ALOT of angles and things for it to bounce off of. If you run it every day or every other day, it will eventually get all spots. I do go through 2 tanks before the battery dies though. I love the fact that Scooba is cleaning while I work. If you have bar stools, there is another way. With my Roomba, I use my 9 bar stools as a virtual wall. Space them just far enough apart so that the Scooba cannot fit through and it will stay in the section you want it to be in. I say buy it, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you get the 5900 model as it has twice the battery life of the 5800.

Not really, it's ment for hard floors. But in a pinch, it's better than bare wire.

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.
