Is this the same cover that comes in the kit? The one in the kit is rough & really cleans the floor. These look like they are too soft.

Yes they are just like the ones that come in the kit. I bought the others by mistake and they streak the floor but these don't .

Unfortunately, this one is a hard plastic material that doesn't grip the floor- it slips all over the place, so you'd have to tape it down or secure it somehow. You're better off getting a foam rubber type.

I haven't encountered any problems with the pads, the orange part is slightly soft. However I've only done one job with new hardwoods, every other time I've been on old scuffed floors. Obviously watch out for stuff like drywall mud or mortar which will make your pads more prone to scratch, I know I've had to clean up mine.

I noticed the DC25 left a scratch on our new engineered wood floor. My solution was to wrap the wheels and the middle section of the ball with masking tape. Kind of a nuisance to have to do that with a $400 vacuum, but it no longer scratches!

These newer ones are a softer more pliable material. I have had no problems with them... I have two..

It is really a mat cover - it is quite thin. It is not cushiony, it is meant to cover a yoga mat at a studio, so you don't have to wipe it down.

It's definitely soft enough. If you're working on a smooth surface, like wood or something, it might skid along the floor. Hope this helps!

Yep. Fit my floor mate just fine. No problem at all. Purchased several in the past and didn't have a problem.

You need to order a soft brush, it is a universal/generic fit, usually greyor black with black bristels, can get it on amazon for around $12.00 or an extra wide wood floor brush by nutone for $26.94 on amazon

The microfiber part of the mop is a "sock" type cover. You slip it on the base and secure the ends with the Velcro tabs sewn on the inside edge of the cover. When you need to clean just undo the Velcro and slip the "sock" off the base. When you wash the microfiber "sock" close the Velcro tabs and toss in the wash. Do not use fabric softener with any microfiber product. This product is wonderful on our new hardwood floors. Its all I use.

They are fairly soft. I think there is a relatively small amount of actual house hair in the broom but it is a fairly soft broom. It won't scratch wood floors.

The wheels are soft. The chart provided by Amazon is incorrect. This model uses the exact same wheels used on the MC-CG917 and MC-CG902. Same part number. I use this machine on polished hardwood floors and the wheels do not mar the finish or leave any scratches.

You would remove the original rug type mats. These are more wet, sloppy weather mats. Very heavy duty/thick mats that use the same snap holes as the original. The rubber mats have a slight satin texture that is somewhat difficult to clean dirt off. I changed out the mats during the rainy season or when I take the car to the shop for work so the nice rug mats don't get trashed.

I had the same problem with the original one. This one fits well, but you may need to either shorten the 3 screws that hold it on or put washers under the screw heads. I've not used my too much since I got it so I really can't say that it will hold up or not. I did notice that the hook and loop pads really stick to this, so be careful when removing the sanding sheet as you can probably start to tear the foam.

I have 2 floor units; one for hard floors, and one for carpets. Also a small brush,and long slender piece. They were all in the same box.I believe they were all part of the order.

Yes, the brush is very soft. I bought it specifically for hardwood floors as we have them throughout our house. This brush does a great job and since the bristles are so soft, it's very easy to vacuum them clean. You won't be disappointed.

Mine came with the hard floor I would assume that is the difference because it does have quite a bit of weight to it. Even though it is heavier the floor is real nice.
