I've read this works great picking up dust on hardwood floors. What about bigger items like Cheerios?

Hi Seth,It doesn't work as great on the chunks of food like Cheerios when you use the floor attachment. If you use just the wand for quick touch ups and you don't want to bend over then it's OK. I have found that it's a great fly catcher and spider sucker upper though!

One of two Cheerios would likely be OK (it does pick up a like amount of dog kibble), but for more than that I would take the floor head off of it and just use the wand.

The included tools aren't efficient at picking up kid mess like cheerios- they either push items or are too small for bigger area. You'll want to get the hard floor tool or wide open one so you can push/ pull while tilting it a bit. The vac itself is plenty powerful and a joy but items larger than cheerios will get stuck entering the collector.

Fabulous product! We're a country home with pets and this little guy keeps our hardwood floors spotless, our area rugs spotless, our doormats spotless. Plenty of suction and should have no issues with Cheerios. I highly recommend it!

I have found that it works OK for picking up bigger items if you take off the floor attachment and just use the wand-- the floor attachment pushes bigger things around but that's about it.

It depends. If the item is light enough and not too tall, the motorized floor brush will pick it up. Otherwise, you have to take off the floor brush and use the end of the wand or another attachment. Or you can raise the brush slightly off the floor to get the item past the lip and into the brush. (This is all pretty much the same for most vacuum cleaners, although some may accept taller heights and heavier items.)

I think it works great for that... Better than a feather duster or swiffer duster... A little swipe and it sucks it right up... I use this on my little root 6 (the dyson handheld) and love it. Fast and easy and effective.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

I have hardwood floors as well as Pergo floors. It works beautifully and picks up easily without a mark!

Like others have said, dust and small things. It will pick up a dry rice; but mine has some trouble picking up small things. Definitely would not pick up cheese or a baby carrot. On bare floors, it's great at picking up pet hair which is what I use it for, to keep the hair at bay in between "real" vacuuming with a full size vacuum. I've mainly used it on bare floors and it works better with the roller turning (carpet setting).

It's ok, but not great at edges. The roller brush stops short of the side edges, but it does have little fixed brushes that are designed to get along the edge. I would think it would pick up cheerios, etc. It's a really convenient, lightweight little machine.

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

It works great for me. I have all tile floor in my home and it has no problem sucking up the cat litter and worked great for picking up all the pine needles from my christmas tree.

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

We have hardwood floors but my daughter has a plush 5'x8' area rug in her room that I use my Bissell on and honestly, I wouldn't want to have to clean an area much larger than that with this. If you have carpet in your house I'd suggest a full size upright. We had one years ago, also a Bissell, and it worked great.

Yes, picks up loose pieces and hair off floor. Not so well with sticky things.

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

In my experience, the 10 amps of power pull dust bunnies out from under dressers that I can't see or even know they are there. My dust bunnies consist of hair from both a Pomeranian dog and 2 cats and it gives me great satisfaction to know how clean my floor really is. Works really well for toe-kicks in the kitchen, too. Anything that is specifically targeted, like along edges and corners, wouldn't have a chance unless it's glued to the floor.

This sweeper has a rotating beater bar, it works great on carpet and area rugs, not sure I'd use it on a hardwood floor.

Yes! It does! I go over my floor rugs in my kitchen without any trouble! It won't pick up small pebbles, large chunks of stuff, etc.., which is awesome for me because my daughter plays with monster high dolls and oh boy, all those little things she leaves laying around get thrown out, which is great! My floors are always clean thanks to this dyson!

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.
