I need a broom for a large amount of distressed wood floor to pick up dirt, food, hair, crumbs since I have 4 littles at home--will this work?

I'm not how it would preform on your distressed wood, but it works great on my tile. Some of the fibers may catch in the wood. Just a thought though.

Yes it works great! It is large and gets the job done quickly. Folds up for storage.

If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect. The Swiffer was too small. The industrial ones were $300. Too much. This one is perfect. I use it almost every single day. It is great. I bet you will love it. But, if your floors have anything that could catch the mop, it will not be worth it. It is natural cotton, and would catch on splinters. They suggest that it be washed with natural soap. I am planning on using Dr. Bonners. The mop also has two settings for themop head. Proba ly more than you want to know! It picks up everything.

My floors are all hardwoods with area rugs. It cleans both of these surfaces fine. But it really just suxs up loose items like crumbs, hair etc

This cleaner is very powerful for a lightweight unit. I feel it did an excellent job of removing dirt from deep down in my carpet. I don't have pets but feel it would pick up whatever is in the carpet. Good luck!

I have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

This is primarily a pooper scooper. It is very strong. If you use it for picking up small toys, etc. It would be fine. The bottom of it has claw like so you would have to watch it on carpet. It would save your back, that is for sure.

It works well. There is a sweeper brush and it picks up pet hair by rolling. The hair gets swept into the vac. I use mine on laminate floors and see no problem. I really like as it is not heavy and does a great job. It does not scrape the floor. So I would say it will not hurt the floors

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

I have 8 cats and 6 litter boxes (sigh hehe) and the Dyson's work great for picking it up. Usually just one pass forward and back and it's all gone. Of course you'll still need the wand to get the stuff at the baseboards/corners.

Yes it will and I use mine in the kitchen to put extra paper towel rolls on the high shelves and I also use it to get things down from the really high shelves in my pantry. You will be able to pick up just about anything with it. I tried picking up a tooth pick but it didn't happen.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

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.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

If you are dealing with long hair shedding on wood or tile floors (I have a Husky and hardwood floors), then this brush does a great job of cleaning large areas. It will work to a degree on low pile carpets, too. Otherwise, for furniture and such, my recommendation is for a stiff-bristle 4-or-5 inch brush attachment. This particular tool is mostly for floor use. It works on window screens too; but keep in mind that the bristles in this brush are soft so they don't scratch floors.

Unfortunately I don't have hardwood floors. I have tile floors and it picks up everything, hair, dust, and the smallest speck the eye can see. I just love it!

If you vacuum a small amount of hair only on the hardwood, I would hope the function would be adequate, but I've found mine is marginal and inconsistent. There really isn't an attachment to help with furniture. It's sad to have such a clear failure from Dyson. I was previously a huge fan.

Yes.. it will pick up toilet paper or paper towel roll..& a little bit heavier items.

I have 2 of these vacs but we have hardwood flooring. If the rug has no pile, it will do fine (like a flat carpet you put in front of the sink).It will clean somewhat over carpet but I don't care for the way it handles carpet. SandyI
