Can this machine be used on hard wood floors .

I would probably just use a steam mop on hardwood floors. This machine is marketed as a "carpet"cleaner and is excellent for that.

I would not recommend it. Too much water. There is an attachment that you can buy for it. I had one with my first Hoover and was not impressed on Linoleum floors. I would purchase a steam mop instead for hard wood which I plan to do shortly. My daughter-in-law has a steam mop and she loves it. I have seen it in action. I don't remember the brand name though. Thought it was Sunbeam but I have seen reviews that aren't very good for Sunbeam. Good luck.

The only time I would use this machine on hardwood floors is if you were picking up a large spill. It can be used as a shop vac to pick up small or large spills.

The manual says that you have to attach a "bare floor attachment (available at additional cost it not included with your model)" I do not believe the model I bought included this but I am going to double check. The manual shows instructions on how to attach it. If I am correct and do not have that attachment, I will be tempted to purchase it. The cleaner has so much suction that it would be worth it to use on bare floors. I currently use a "Flip-It" on the kitchen floor and while it is adequate, I would imagine this machine has a lot more power and could do the job quicker. Guess I'll just have to try it.

I don't have hard wood floors but I do have ceramic tile floors and on the lowest setting it works fairly well, not as good as sweeping but it does pick up the dust balls and dirt. The corners are an issue so I will use the crevice tool. The only thing I might be concerned about using this on hard wood floors or vinyl tiles would be the brush might be too rough for it but I do not know for certain.

I'm not sure about hard wood floors? I use it on tiled floors and it's fine. i don't think it would hurt the hard wood. My plant is about 200 lbs as well. i recommend it highly.

I have low-cut carpet so it works well on that. I feel it works best on non-carpet surfaces (hard wood for me). Even on low-cut carpet you can it is not as solid when on hard flooring. I don't think it's a deal breaker if you have carpet - in fact, I think it would make the workout even more challenging. Hope this helps. (BTW - not as easy as it looks. Good machine.)

Yes it can be used on all hard surfaces, including hard wood, tile, lanimate and vinyl. We love ours, especially the fact that it is so light weight. Hope this helps.

According to the instructions, you can use this model on sealed hardwood floors with an extra attachment (not included). I have not used it for that, however. Hope this helps.

I do not have any wood floors.But I looked at the underside of the unit. It has the two large wheels in the rear, which have what appears to be a soft rubber replaceable tread (like a thin tire tread) on the outer part of the wheel. Those wheels should be fine. The front part of the unit slides on a thin plastic type strip which also appears to be replaceable. I would guess that as long as you do not have any gravel or small hard items that the plastic strip would push along in front of it, you would probably be OK.

Yes! I use mine on a carpeted floor and haven't had any problems. I actually think it might be preferred to use on carpet. It also comes with a little mat that you can put under the machine to help with carpet indentions. Enjoy the machine if you purchase it--I love mine! :)

Yes you can! A great feature this unit has is a brush on off switch which allows for great pick up on hard floors like tile. Just turn the brush off, lower the vacuum to the lowest height setting and you will be good to go!

The manual says, "For use on bare floors or sealed wood floors." which would indicate that it cannot be used on unsealed wood floors.

Jean you definitely can, this unit was designed for use on hard floors like laminate flooring, sealed hardwood, and tile.

Yes bare floor tools or power head may be used as mine is used on hard wood with the bare floor tool.

It is especially good on wood floors. My cabin has only tile and wood floors. That is why I bought this item and it has performed as advertised

I don't think so ... the machine is designed to put out a spray of water + shampoo, scrub it around and suck it up. You would not want this much water on hardwood floors. I am sure there is another machine designed for this purpose.

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.
