Is it recommended for cleaning hardwood floors? And does it do a good job?

Hey Ellie, it is not recommended for hardwood floors, but I do use it on mine. The trick is to keep it moving and not in one place. Otherwise, would damage your floors. It does do a good job and like it specifically because I have cats in the house and do not want to subject them to chemicals as well as small grandchildren.

Yes it does clean well. It's a great vacuum .. Takes a few times to get use to moving it on the carpet since it's not a standard vacuum. But don't let that keep you from buying it. So pleased with this purchase

I do not have hardwood floors. It is a smaller vacuum that I keep upstairs for our loft bedroom and bath. It is very powerful for its size. It is mostly carpet up there and does a very good job. It also works well on the tile floor, so I would imagine it would be good on hardwood too. The attachments are handy. Hope this helps. I have been very happy with it.

It gets the job done. I have hardwood floors and it gets dirt and debris pretty easily. I don't track a lot of stuff into the house but for your average house it works good. The lack of height adjustment makes me think the brushes make only a little contact with the floor but the suction more than compensates for grabbing anything.

I also have three dogs and was given a Roomba for Christmas. You WILL still have to use your regular old vaccuum even though you have a Roomba. It will probably be great on your hardwood floors--likely a big help. However, on the carpet, it will probably just do 'maintenance-quality', picking up quite a bit of hair, but still not replacing a good manual vaccumming. (But hey, every little bit helps when have multiple pets). I run mine every day, and I appreciate its ability to perform damage-control every day with the "kids'" daily shedding, supplemented by my own once or twice a week regular vaccuuming. I empty the bin every time it completes a cycle. It only takes two seconds. If you try to run it will a full bin, it won't be able to pick up anything very well, just like a regular vaccuum. One more very important thing-- since you have pets, you'll have to be extra dilligent about cleaning the brush and the rubber thing next to brush. The brush is relatively easy to clean with the cleaning tool, but the rubber thing next to the brush can get hair wrapped around these tricky grooves next to its wheels--its kind of time consuming, but if you don't keep those things clean than its bad for the Roomba. Oh, and for other pet people out there, I was at Roomba's website the other day and they have now came out with a Roomba for homes with pets, so you may want to look into that if you are considering buying a Roomba. The Roomba Sage for Pets is like 219.00, and the Roomba Discovery for Pets is around 300.00. The brushes are supposed to be easier to clean than the standard Roomba.

I love this item but I only use it to clean out my vehicle and stairs because it is lite weight. I have never tried it on my hardwood. But it is great to do the job that I purchased it to do.

I have hardwood floors and this product works well to pick up dust, fuzz, hair, lint...maneuvers easily along baseboards, under edges of appliances, even around table legs in the breakfast room. It picks up anything from the floor but it does not contain any shining agent. I love it for in-between cleanings and consider the strong point to be the fact that it requires no chemicals and leaves no residue (which is also why i use a steamer to deep clean my wood floors--no chemicals, no allergens).

It works great on hardwood floors in my experience. I do vacuum first to pick up anything that may scratch the floor.

I use it to vacuum llbean water hog door mats. It does a decent job, but not complete. The spinning attachment is fairly weak, so I use the regular wood floor attachment and "scrub" the rugs with it. I guess depending on the thickness and level of dirt, it should do an ok job.

It is good for picking up dust on hardwood. If you have a spill of dry goods or otherwise, the suction is not sufficient to get the job done. It is good for dusting and light cleaning.

Yes this sweeper does a good job on hardwood floors and rugs. Not as good as a "real" vacuum but does a pretty good job.

I think it is great on hardwood floors. I don't use the power nozzle much for the floors, though I will when I am rushing from hardwood to carpets for a quick clean up. I prefer the soft brush attachment. I bought this vacuum with my MIL's recommendation. She also lost suction power in her, but here was a filter on the inside of the machine that was completely clogged. Once she took care of that (I can't remember exactly, but I think she just cleaned it, not replaced) it's suction was back to full power.

No, the design is meant to agitate carpet fibers to clean efficiently. It is not designed for hardwood floors.

It is not recommended, but I have used it for years and my floors still look like new. I also use the Bona floor cleaner and the floors look terrific.

It works best on hardwood and tile floors. It would not do deep cleaning on carpets, just the surface.

I've only tried it on hardwood floors and small rugs. I'm pleased with the suction on both. It does clean well.
