I need a vacuum cleaner that can flex 180 degrees so it can go under my bed and couch to vacuum the hard wood floor. Can this machine do this? Thanks.

On bare floors it is not that good, unless you use the "Rug" setting. By it self on "Bare Floors" it's not good.

The EUREKA sUPERLITE IS A GREAT MACHINE . It will get under the bed ,couch etc:It depends on you,how far down your body will go,for the price I would give it a try. Good Luck

Yes, I shift the lever to bare floors to keep the rotating brush off the floor, but I also use the hose and 2 extensions that come with it. I have a universal wide floor brush attachment that fits on the hard extensions and it picks up everything in its path. you have to grab the vacuum by its handle to move it along with you, but i find that easy. All in all, for the price, this vacuum sucks the life out of floor debris

No there is not. It has a flexable hose but not a flexable attachment. I DO NOT recommend this vac. It is terrible. There are much better options at MUCH MUCH better prices. My Bissell works 10 times better as does my Orek. I was also recommended this which is much less: $79: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZBIZTW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck.

Not really, keep in mind - if you just use the machine with out the extensions - you will have too much for an area rug. It will try to suck it up into the machine and the bending over will leave your back screaming. If you use the extensions so you can stand upright - you won't have enough suction for even picking up crumbs.

The original that comes with the vacuum is designed for hardwood or hard flooring...the attachment you are looking at is for carpeting and works a lot better!

One won't stand upright as well as they can with an "upright" vacuum. You do lean over. I am planning on getting a different vacuum cleaner soon because this one is falling apart. It's not that I didn't expect that for the price, so I'm not complaining, but it's not going to last a real long time.

whatever you do don't turn one of these upside down :) be like punching an open bag of flour but wow does it pick up dust looking at this one. :) got a Shark Knockoff at Aldi's and even at $15 that thing is a monster. ignore the motor... it's just there to spin the brushes.

No, it would not be. Not because of poor suction but because of the stick design. There is no flex hose that comes with it where you can attach to the vacuum. I would recommend the Miele canister vacuum for your purpose. I also have one of those and it is wonderful.

No, the hose does not rotate but it is made of high quality flexible material that does not kink easily, if at all. The head does turn sideways but because the design is asymmetrical, it keeps twisting to wherever it wants to go so it is almost impossible to adjust it to a fixed position. I've been using an attachment I luckily saved from an old vacuum, or else the crevice tool, to get under upholstery and beds. P.S. The suction of this little vacuum is terrific but I don't like it anywhere near as well as my old Mighty Mite. I opted for the AirExcel because it was bag-less; the only drawback to the Mighty Mite is having to purchase bags frequently.

Depends on the clearance of the furniture, (obviously) but the biggest problem with this model is the vacuum hose and it's loose fit to the brush roller area, pushing the vacuum under any furniture tends to work the hose loose and requires reattachment on a regular basis.The other slight problem is the discharge vent is right below the bag chamber, so if you use this on a hardwood floor, be prepared to chase down the dirt, dust bunnies as well as the loose hose problem mentioned earlier.

IDK if it will do a full 180°, but you should be able to get most of that sweep. This assumes it's installed with the metal brackets in the way that I did it. I installed it just a few inches away from a bedroom door, so it was important that it could be moved in either direction. That said, I may have installed it 'wrong' per safety standards with children, but it allows for that sweep either way...

If you try to suck something (like dog hair) on a wood floor, the Bissell just blows the hair around the room. It only seemed to work well on a carpet.

No. It's 110 vac. Please contact flex and ask them if they carry a 220 vac model.

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.

When reclined, there is about 18" from the floor to the top of the vacuum before the beater bar starts lifting off the ground. This works fine for vacuuming under furniture such as a dining room table. As far as vacuuming under anything low to the ground such as a couch, it does not work, other than perhaps the very edge. If you want to vacuum under something low, you will either have to move the piece of furniture or possibly try the hose/attachments.

This vacuum stick cleaner does work with ease on hard wood floors. Do not know about Bamboo floors The Cyclone has two speeds. One for rugs and one for tile and hardwood floors. To be sure I would take a scrap of bamboo wood to a Hoover Dealer and have them demonstrate the stick on the Bamboo. Hardwood floors are really good looking but many things can scratch it like boots.

I dont think so..with a home vacuum machine it will not be working at all. to bend springs you will need a high power vacuum for sure.
