I am looking for a vaccum that is lightweight and does a good job. I also have hard wood floors. Can I clean both types of flooring with this product

I think it's a good cleaner for all types of floors. Although I would not consider the vacuum to be light weight at all. The vacuum also does not dispense enough of the cleaner when trying to clean the floor.

This is only good for hardwood/laminate type flooring. The machine itself isn't heavy but is no way light weigh in my opinion.

I wouldn't on carpet, but I can tell you that it does a great job on my hardwood floors.

This is the hard floor solution that is used in the Hoover FloorMate to scrub your sealed hard flooring. This is designed for hard floors only. When you're stubbing your carpet, use the Hoover carpet cleaning formula in the Hoover Steamvac

I wouldn't call it a vacuum, more like the strength of only a hand vac. It will only pick up small items. The dustbin is only about 5 inches across and an inch deep. If your floors are really dirty, you'll have to clean them first. I do love the steamer part it gets very hot quickly and does a great job.

We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac. We have an older Steam-Vac, so I could see the superiority of it to the Quick and Light. The Q&L; had NO rotating brushes. We also have two Hoover Floor-Mates which are great on ceramic or stone floors. I would NOT use either machine on hardwood flooring as the water would eventually cause damage. TIP: Try using hot vinegar water as a cleaner on lightly soiled carpet. The smell of vinegar ( which repulses me ) vanishes immediately. It is a good alternative to the chemically based cleaners which can leave toxic residue. RgN We returned the Quick and Light and purchased the Hoover Steam-Vac.

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 dont have wood floors. I have low carpet plus some 12" tiles. This is a good vacuum in general, but it isnt that effective on tile - no matter what setting is chosen. Two things to consider on wood floors - the brush on this vacuum never stops spinning - its wheels and rollers turn smoothly but they are hard plastic.

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!

Well I don't need to vacuum that often now but you could certainly use the dry mop that comes with this product. It's great for dusting. But I wouldn't use the wet mop on a floor covered with pets' hair. I love this mop though. It really makes it easier!!

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 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.

The vacuum works best on hardwood and tile flooring. It's not as smooth and easy to vacuum on area rugs.It works but you have to use more effort when vacuuming the rug. It's still a great stick vacuum.

Having sold the vacuums previously, I can say that the hard floor cleaner does work on wood flooring, but I don't have hardwood floors to have tested it. I don't know if I have the sander attachment, though; I never used that part so I'm not sure.

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

Thanks for asking my opinion, unfortunately I cannot offer any input on the wood floor vacuuming because I only use the bissell on carpeting in my home.

If you vacuum in slow motion its works just fine. I really like this vaccum there is only one thing not so good. You have to clean the "bag" very very often, when not, the brushes stop to rotate and the engine start to sound very high pitched. But with this I can live and my cats are not afraid of this vacuum.Over all yes its cleans on hardfloor and carpet really good. For this price you have a excellent between vacuum and if you have only a small space living in, than it is the right tool

Our dustbuster does a very good job picking up dirt and pet hair off our hard wood floors. As far as our couches and rugs go, it lacks the power needed for the pet hair .removal

It does great on both wood floor and carpet. There is adjustments for carpet heights as well. It is a great Vacuum. We have a pet with hair that gets deep into the carpets and I have been happy with its performance. Also love that I do not have to clean out the bag less containers anymore. The bags hold a lot! I have not changed my bag in the last 6 months if not longer and I vacuum daily. The only downfall is that the bag indicator does not work well, but it is easy enough to open the front and see how full your bag is.

Does NOT work well on carpet. Does clean hard surfaces both wet and dry very well. I also bought a small canister bag less vac with the hose to vac area rugs, baseboards. closets, bathroom and furniture--hard to reach places with upright. Hope that helps. Peace
