Best for wood floors. Brush head is not motorized so its not good for carpet.. I have jute rugs, good for that.

I have hardwood floors and the standard attachment works fine (no scratching), and there is a brushed attachment that you may prefer. However, downsides of this product as the "bag" is too small, if you have mostly hardwood floors it should work fine, but I have a wool rug that fills it up completely. Also suction is OK, works fine for most things, but for the price this is a pretty good product.

I too have primarily hardwood and tile floors and three cats, one a long-haired cat, and it does a great job.

i love this vacuum ....it does not mop...you do not use cleaning solutions....it is a lightweight vacuum....it will pick up dust, crumbs....pieces of small paper...leaves and grass the dog brings in....it will vacuum area rugs not carpet......it works wonderful on hardwood floors, cement floors, most hard surfaces....it`s really great and it stays charged longer then most smalll vacs....i can vacuum 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen 2 baths, etc and still have power left.....hope this helps...ADELE

Hi Mary, I have not had that Vac since sooo long, but, so far, so good, and a lot better, than a bagless vac! I have been trough several vacs, so far this one is the best. I love it, and I am vacuuming every 2nd day, because of our pet! It pics up debris a lot faster than any other vac.

I use this vacuum every day on our hard wood kitchen floors. I don't know what material the wheels are made from. It's never scuffed or left a mark on our floors. It does okay cleaning up. I usually have to "help" if suck something of other up, I remove the minivac from the uptight vac housing to get better suction sometimes. And I've found that going "in reverse" can help pick things up too.

If you want something to clean the hard floor, it would be best to try a machine like the swiffer wet jet or swiffer vac. This machine is made for carpeted floors, its not for wood or vinyl flooring. I've never come across a machine that will actually wash both. There are sine steamer cleaners for hard floors that I have been interested in getting but aren't a priority to me personally.

Roomba works very well on wood and laminate floors! It works in a consistent pattern to pick up dirt and debris without leaving marks behind. I have multiple pets and it always picks up hair and dirt well. The bin fills quickly, so one must check often to assure maximum sweeping action. It also must have a pretty obstacle free floor to work most efficiently. If you move stuff around a lot or have lots of clutter, that impedes Roomba's ability to work by memory and it may appear to bump around randomly in this situation. Love Roomba and even purchased a Scuba after my Roomba purchase.

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

I've noticed its fine on carpet or wand-only even w attachments... bur no vacuum on earth seems to have suction in "floor" mode. I have no answer for this! Otherwise I do love this Kenmore and have never found any vac that does well in floor mode

In my home all I have is hard surfaces for my floors because I have at this time 2 dogs and 2 long hair cats. When I moved in here I took out all carpets - this is a desert location and well difficult to keep floors clean all that to say, I have wood, tile and laminate flooring throughout my home. I needed a vacuum that would do a major clean up on cat hair and cat litter plus all the miscellaneous 'stuff' that comes in from the gardens on all the paws. I needed a vacuum that could be used with and without the brush because the tile needs the brushing element to get litter out of the grout between the individual tiles...this vacuum does it ALL my tiles and my wood/laminate without brushes that can destroy the wood/laminate finishes. I keep the recharger and vacuum in my office also where the litter boxes reside and any mess is quickly cared for with so little effort. Since my cats are a breed known as Ragdolls and quite large in size I do have cat hair to content with along with litter....not a problem for this vacuum. You just pop off the canister on the front and I do this at my outside garbage area and shake out the canister - the filter comes out easily and I clean it with a very soft tooth brush...takes so little time and I've my vacuum back on its stand recharging in readiness for the next use. I have talked on at length, however in my defense I am 80 years old and when I feel I have something worth talking about, I do. Hope this answers your question.

Our house has tile floors. Our Dyson does a super job. The head on it is small enough to get into and under most things. The suction is super. It switches from carpet to floors with a button on the the attachment. It is light weight. I also use it on the floors in our 5th wheel travel trailer. I think you will be pleased with its performance on hard wood floors.

we use it exclusively for hard wood floors, just as Rosemary says in her comment, you have to do a quick press... if it doesnt work, try it a few times. I always turn it on and click fast them vacuum our hard wood floors...no need to hold down anything

I don't have any carpet in the home where I have this vacuum. I have all wood floors. However, I do use the backpack vac with the brush attachment to vacuum the small area rugs and entryway mats. It seems to work adequately for those. If I had longer pile carpet, I'd probably have a "beater-style" vacuum for those. This vacuum is best for concrete, wood, tile and other hard surfaces you'd find in garages, basements, and interior areas without carpet. Hope this helps.

I use my vacuum almost daily and wash the filter weekly. I have a dog that sheds and have mostly hard wood floors. This vacuum has saved my sanity. Hope that helps.

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

I've had my NC-UL915 for over a year now and use to as much to vaccum my hard wood floors and kitchen linoleum as I do my carpeted surfaces. I think it has very good suction, but I find that dirt collecls at the air intake inside to bagless dirt colector and needs to be cleaned by hand when the bagless container is emptied (upper part ot bagless container). Overall, I am happy with this vaccum; very versatite and I like the dirt sensor feature.

I do vacuum b swiftly and it will do a great job.efore use of the haan. It's safe if the hardwood floor is not kept wet, use it
