Would this be suitable for indoor vacuuming on hardwood floors? Can a disposable bag be attached?

This is not a vacuum, it is strictly a blower. No disposable bag can be attached

If by bag you mean the disposable one that looks like a regular vac bag--yes. I only use the foam filter. I still love it, but like all I do wish the hose was stronger, it's not awful, just not as hardy you would think a shop vac would use.

I don't think it would work well with much else, but if you have already bought them, the only other thing I could imagine using (beside having someone sit on the stuff to push the air out, which probably wouldn't work too well) is possibly a air mattress pump. They usually have the ability to not only pump the air into an air mattress, but also the ability to pump air out. If you don't have either of these, maybe you should find a cheap vacuum. I know that Dirt Devil or Black & Decker makes a cheap/affordable product that has good suction power. Regardless, if you don't buy a full size shop-vac, the nozzle of the vacuum probably will not fit over the suggested suction area being used in the picture. If this is the case, you will have to stick the nozzle into the zipper part of the bag and "pull out/zip up the bag" in one seemingly fluid motion. This is what I had to do and it worked fairly well. That's the best advice I can muster. I hope it helps!

I haven't used it with a vacuum yet, but with the way the saw is set up, it is almost a necessity. The dust collection bag is worthless. It fills up fast, and if you don't empty it the sawdust dumps right back into the saw (making a mess). I have a flex hose attached, and will be trying out a shop-vac in the near future.

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

hi brooke, i would think that the vacuum will do the job with its powerful brush, but the capacity is fairly small, may be a little more than a large cup. you can not go wrong with it, being it is so cheap.

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.

No, I would not recommend this for hardwood floors. It would be easier to use a simple steamer like the Shark brand models.

The Roomba is amazing - I would marry it if it was feasible! Seriously it is great but we have 99% wooden and tiled floors and lots of animals so it handles the load really well. But we do have some black rubber backed low profile mats and it can have problems with them.

I have not tried the Dyson. I have hardwoods, pets, and large area rugs, I love the carpet attachment, and the brush crevice tool is nice for floor moldings. The filter is washable, which is nice, and the first thing to check if the suction is lacking. I do think it could have a tiny bit more suction, but I might feel that way regardless :D. On bare floors I definitely prefer the bare floor attachment, and I like the design of it. it does okay on pet hair, I think it clogs the filter a little quicker. I have a lightweight cordless I use for stairs....

It was great in hardwood floors... The ONE time it operated properly. Got a broom? I'd continue using that before you shell any $$ out for this thing.

Nope.I've had this model in our frequently used RV for approximately 2 yrs. Decent vac. Several attachments. Retractable cord and easy to clean/change bags. Bags hard to find-I bought unit at popular DIY store but order bags through Amazon. Suction is good. Wouldn't recommend as a whole house vac, but small space-yes.

Yes. There is a button you push, which adapts the vacuum for hardwoods. It works quite well. We have hardwoods in several areas and am pleased with the performance. I hope this helps.

Yes, at least on, but do buy extras immediately: as soon as the bag is full, the vacuum will stop working.

It has a place that you can carry it, but if you're looking to carry it from room to room, this isn't the vaccum you want. If you just want to carry it upstairs, it would work fine for that.

you have to use a vacuum with a hose attachment--either an upright vacuum with a hose for upholstry, drapes, etc. or a canister vacuum. we only have wood floors, so we don't own a vacuum. I just squeeze the air out by kneeling on them and squishing them down, and it works just fine. I'm sure that a vacuum would certainly make it easier, but it's not necessary. these bags have made a world of difference in organizing my linen cabinet! I used them to pack 2 pillows, a winter-weight down comforter and a lightweight down comforter (I haven't used the 5th large size bag yet), and they now take up a fraction of the space!

Thanks for asking my opinion, unfortunately I cannot offer any input on the wood floor vacuuming because I only use the bissell on carpeting in my home.
