How does this work on hardwood (laminate and tile) floors? I have a dog that sheds so much that I sweep twice a day!

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 GREAT...I HAVE 2 CATS. Use this on rug, area rugs and in kitchen floor and foyer both have laminate. And I have an issue with weight but this one I can hold and carry upstairs and do the steps.

It works fantastic on tile or laminate. So well that when I steam mop there is very little dirt on the mop head. Very powerful suction. I have 7 indoor/outdoor animals so this machine is a must.

SUPER ..it will suck the heck out of bare floors, but remember that if you vacuum more than 1x a week, you will no doubt still have to invest in an additional filter as the vaccuum won't work right once the filter's clogged. I dry my filter by my wood stove; other wise it takes DAYS unless you live in the desert. Hope that helps.

Just based on my own negative experiences with my Dyson, I would suggest that you think about getting a swiffer style dry cloth sweeper. It is a lot cheaper, and not nearly as much trouble. I end up having to use one even with my Dyson because this model scratches my hardwood. Good luck!

I have laminate and tile floors as well as area rugs, and the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister works very well on all of my different floor surfaces. There is a button on the handle to turn off the power brush bar to prevent scratching of floors. Honestly, it works fine with the brush on or off.

I have a Corgi and a cat. Corgis shed continuously all year. My Roomba does a great job. I use it every day in the main area of my house not the bedrooms because I keep those doors closed. I have ceramic tile in the living area, kitchen and hall. It definitely cleans those floors in one sweep. I think it would work great if used daily. I love my Roomba!!!

We had another Bissell and it did the job. We have two dogs, one short hair but sheds and the other long hair with shedding. We also have outdoor carpet on the deck and this sweeper works very well keeping everything very tidy and clean. We also use it on the linoleum in the kitchen and it does a great job.

I also have laminate floors, and it works great. I've been using it for a few months now and no ill effects, just clean floors.

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 only use it on hardwood but it works great picking up the dog hair. I'm real glad I bought it

I have laminate wood flooring, not hardwood floors. I usually sweep and mop that floor, but I got my vacuum out to answer your questions and went over the laminate floor with it. There is no scratching at all whatsoever and it does pick up dirt and stuff just fine. I've even picked up a few pebbles or a small screw, etc. with no ill effects. Great vacuum! The rotating brush on the floor doesn't bother me or seem to make a lot of noise. Just the same sound from the carpet to the laminate flooring with a little more hollow sound on the hard floor.

If you are dealing with long hair shedding on wood or tile floors (I have a Husky and hardwood floors), then this brush does a great job of cleaning large areas. It will work to a degree on low pile carpets, too. Otherwise, for furniture and such, my recommendation is for a stiff-bristle 4-or-5 inch brush attachment. This particular tool is mostly for floor use. It works on window screens too; but keep in mind that the bristles in this brush are soft so they don't scratch floors.

YES! It was originally designed for wood floors. I had tile floors previously and it worked great. I have real oak floors throughout my home now and it seems to work even better on the wood. My sister has laminate wood floors and we've used it there with great results as well, although it did seem to leave streaks on her floors but I think that's just from the residue buildup of her usual floor cleaner. The same thing happened on my tile until all the residue was lifted off. If she used it regularly it would eventually melt away all of that residue and leave a streak-free finish.

I have a cat, and ceramic tile floors. A lot of hair/fuzz collects in corners. It picks it up and holds it until I go out and shake it out.

In my experience, it has worked well on both hardwood floors, as well as carpets. I have been very pleased with my purchase. I hope that helps.

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

no, I've had no issues with it shedding. I absolutely love it for my wood floors but use it as well on my tile floor.

The reason we bought a Roomba is that we have a Rottweiler who sheds A LOT, before we were swiffering the downstairs 2-3 times per day and it does amazing to pick up the fur. Things to consider: -our entire downstairs is tile, I am not sure how it would do on carpet (my friend has one that runs on carpet with no problem but he doesn't have a dog.-we empty the bin with fur/dirt/dust DAILY which isn't really a bit deal but don't expect to ignore the Roomba for a few days at a time.

I dont have wood floors, but all tile because we live near the beach and it does a great job on sand and dog hair. It does go over most area rugs, but not if they have the trim that can catch in the roomba. ie indian rugs that need the trim combed. Hope this helps.

Dont know about the hardwood floor one but this one works well on all floors. I have hardwood and laminate I love it.

Mine didn't last long enough to find out. It only lasted one cleaning and it was my kitchen floor. I have always washed my laminate on my hands and knees since I have dogs and can't always get all the hair up before washing. I then use my shark Vacuum.
