I use it on my entire downstairs which is completely wood flooring. It has great suction, the wheels (some kind of rubber I think) are not scratching the floors and the brushes don't touch the wood. I love it on wood flooring and I run it right from wood flooring to the area rug under my sofa area. It works wonderfully!

Mr. Starter, if you ended up purchasing this Hoover (or another canister vacuum model), what is your opinion of cleaning hardwood floors? I have the same dilemma.

Danger Danger! The upright vacuum wheels scratched my hardwood floors. I repeat the wheels on the upright vacuum scratched my hand scraped hardwood floors. I would not EVER use this vacuum on hardwood floors of any kind.

I like it on my hardwood-we mostly use the small canister on our wood because you can get into corners, and under and around things such as the piano, but I use the upright at least once a month when I want to really get up every last bit of dog fuzz out of corners. We had our floors refinished about 5 years ago so we are cautious about scratches.

Yes you can use it on hardwood floors! In fact it's the best way to clean them in my experience . No dulling detergent residue and they are truly clean. Keep in mind though that if you already have wax (or mop n glow, etc) on the floors the steam/condensation may leave "clouds" on the wood. If in doubt test a small area before ding the whole house!

I used it on my oriental carpet that was on hardwood floors (no padding). I worked in small areas (4ft by 4ft). Gave the carpet a pretty good soaking. I checked to make sure if I was getting the hard wood wet. It wasn't at all. I then was careful to vacuum up the carpet. The suction of the vac will really take up practically 90% of the moisture if you are not sloppy. I could walk on the carpet immediately afterwards. In my experience (and I've now used it a lot) your concern should not be a problem at all if you are not careless. You'll see when there is no more water coming out of the carpet.

I use it both on hardwood and on tile. It doesn't have any floor-specific properties, so it's very usable. Would only be useless on carpet!

I used it once on my hardwood kitchen floor and I thought it worked great. Much better than sweeping. Everyone thought I'd mopped.

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

Hey Ellie, it is not recommended for hardwood floors, but I do use it on mine. The trick is to keep it moving and not in one place. Otherwise, would damage your floors. It does do a good job and like it specifically because I have cats in the house and do not want to subject them to chemicals as well as small grandchildren.

It does great on hardwood floors. I do not have much experience with this roomba on carpet.

It works great on hardwood floors in my experience. I do vacuum first to pick up anything that may scratch the floor.

I use it all the time on my hardwood floors. Just set it for "low carpet" and it is great.

Yes, I have used mine on carpet when I have been cleaning my tile and just continued on to the carpet, maybe not as good as my hoover windtunnel but good enough for a quick job. To the people not using it to vaccum their tile and hardwoods I say you missing a better cleaning on your floors. I know a quick sweep is faster but I feel the floormate gets the floor much cleaner for the scrubbing process. And the best part no dust.

I don't have hardwoods, either, but you might find it helpful to know that she is no delicate beast. This vacuum is rugged and the brushes are tough. My laminates take a beating if I forget to rotate the switch to the correct flooring level. Maybe not so good against the finish on your floors..?

I love love love this product for my wood floors. wood is wood I suppose, so it's worth trying. I'd try a small area first . I just don't know how it would hold up to being cleaned all the time.

I am very happy with this vac. Does great on carpeted and wood stairs and floors! It gets pretty close to walls when it cleans but you'll need a canister vac to really do a thorough job. But how often do you do that? This is a great vac with very good power. I love it! Hope this helps.

I used it on my carpets, not on my hardwood floors. It would probably be okay, but I think there are better machines out there for hardwood floors (like the Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner that I purchased on Amazon.)

It is great on rugs. I use it for all surfaces. It's so good I keep an extra for fear they stop manufacturing it. Mike
