Hardwood Floors: How is this machine on hardwood floors?

Using the low reach tool (brush out), you'll be able to work the hardwood floors if they cover large areas of the room. If you only have short intervals of hardwood between rugs, then using the upright and turning off the brushroll when going from carpet to floor should do.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

I have had no problems with the machine moving around. I use it on a carpeted floor for about 30-60 minutes at a time.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

This roomba is used on the wood floor in my house. The wood is 4 inch oak with some rugs. The vacuum has done a good job so far. I usually run it twice a day. I have had the vacuum less than a month and have no complaints about the performance. The only grip is that the vacuum dirt collection bin is no big enough. The remote also works well.

I tend to run it on area rugs and bare hardwood and marble floors. It has not been an issue I have had to deal with.

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.

It should drive fine on hardwood floors. It drives on vinyl which is very smooth, so I don't think hardwood floor would be a problem.

Yes, It moves easily on wooden floors. It also moves on carpet pretty well.

I also have hardwood floors, and it hasn't scratched them from what I can tell (my dog mainly plays on the carpet with it). It is designed to roll and doesn't have much of an area that would scratch floors.

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!

I did not use it on hardwood floors. It is a good all purpose cleaner. I bought the green one.

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!

It rolls okay on wooden floor or carpet, but it is a workout in itself. One has to lift the rear of the unit to move it and it is heavy and bulky, but it does move. Moving it each time you use it could get old quickly. I leave it in one spot and only move for cleaning underneath.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

I have not had any problems using it on my hardwood floors. Please note that I never leave it to rest in one spot. If I need to pause, I place the steamer on a folded towel.
