Is this vacuum good on hard floors? Also, will the attachments it comes with be good for the hard floors and vacuuming pet hair from couch and stairs

I don't have hardwood floors but I do have one room with a laminate wood floor and it does fine on that. It does not have a brush bar which is what I think harms hardwood floors. It does great on my tile floors and I have two cats. Attachments work well on upholstery. You probably won't need an attachment for the stairs but they should work if you do. Vacuum is very light weight and has good suction - just not good for carpet because of the lack of that brush bar.

It is the best vacuum ever for hard floors! The suction is superior to every vacuum I have ever owned. I also have a pet that sheds and it removes pet hair very efficiently! The attachments are great! You will not regret buying it!

It is awesome on hardwood floor, vinyl, ceramic, etc., even with the attachment it comes with. You just need to make sure it is on hardwood floor mode. Carpet is ok. I only use this on hardwood and have separate vacuum for carpet.

The floor attachment it comes with is not good on hard floors. I got a separate attachment for hard wood floors. If I remember correctly, it cost about $80. The furniture attachments work fine removing pet hair.

I have owned a Miele vacuum for 14 years .It is the best I have seen or used . One key thing you must check and clean often are the filters .If your suction diminishes that's the problem . It is a problem free machine worth every dollar it cost.

Yes, it is best on hard floors. The attachments are excellent for removing pet hair from upholstery and the suction is remarkable - the most powerful vacuum I've owned.

This vacuum is best on hard floors, and just ok on carpet. I use it on vinyl, wood and low pile floor carpets. It will do well with pet hair.

It works great on hardwood floors, but doesn't have the power for carpet, I am still trying to find a vac that picks up pet hair and dirt from carpet that doesn't weigh a ton!! Have a bad back, if you find one please let me know!!

I bought the Dyson DC33 a few months ago and it is the best vacuum I have ever had. I have mostly carpeting and some hardwood but it works well with both. You may want a response from someone with all hardwood flooring BUT I must say the thing is powerful.. I told my brother in law to get one for my sis for Xmas... unromantic gift of course! haaa

Are the attachments included with the vacuum. How does it clean on very thick carpets and is it hard to push. I have a hoover self propelled uprigt now.

It will clean carpets with little dirt, if you have cats or dogs no way. The vacuum is better suited for hard floors, cleaning ceilings, and if you can find one a vacuum power turbo brush which I use in my car. With a turbo brush it works great on rugs.

If your sets of stairs aren't too high, the wand will probably extend enough for you to clean them from the bottom. A stair attachment is included. This vacuum works GREAT for animal fur and hair, we have two long haired cats and a dog that sheds a lot. Only problem I have with mine is that it is the high maintenance girlfriend of vacuums, have to clear dust and fur out of lots of little nooks and crannies all over the vacuum every week or two or it builds up and interferes with regular operation. But it's worth the effort. After a year of service it's still going strong, and I fully expect it to last several more years.

it does come with attachments that are easy to use and very accessible. the easy of use of the attachments is amazing. I had a kenmore and you practically had to take the vacuum apart to use the attachments. i'm not well versed on the warranty, but this is the best vacuum i've ever used. i have let numerous people run it in my home and a couple of them purchased it.

Yes, does a great job on hard floors, my only complaint is about dog hair on carpet. The power nozzle is not very heavy and I question the performance on carpet.

It's amazing with pet hair on hard floors! It doesn't have a spinning attachment so it doesn't blow the pet hair around when you are trying to suck it up. No chasing the hair around. I have two large retrievers and they are the reason I bought this vacuum. I do not regret it!

I asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

There is an attachment called the "brush bar" that comes with the DC39 animal canister. It is designed to be used on both carpeting and hard surface floors. For carpets use the attachment with the rotating brush (build in) on. For hard surface floors leave rotating brush turned off. Might be a question of some scuffing/scratching on hard surfaces but I haven't noticed it yet. Still marveling over the job it does with cat and dog hair in carpets. Haven't investigated subject but I'm sure Dyson offers other hard surface attachments if "brush bar" poses a problem on your hard surfaces. Mike A

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 very very well. I have hard wood floors and carpets. Absolutely no problem.

Only 1 attachment comes with the unit. The unit itself has a narrow end which vacuums tight areas fairly well. I use it in my car and find it satisfactory. If you have some really tight, areas with a lot of debris, it may not work as well.

It can clean all types of floors out of the box. There are several attachments and for hard floors just turn off brush bar.
