How does this vacuum work on hardwood and shiny marble floors? I need a cordless, but do not want to damage my floors. Thank you for any help.

It is gentle as can be...no scratching whatsoever. The best part is you can grab and go in a minute.

No damage with what comes with it. There is a hardwood attachment head that can be purchased as well.

We have an old exposed brick wall in our living room and fine bits of mortar from the wall regularly fall on the hardwood floor at the bottom of this wall. We found that if we try to vacuum the mortar with the motorized head that the mortar scratches the floor but if we vacuum with the hardwood floor head then it does not. Elsewhere in the house we use the motorized head on the floor with no scratching problems. On a side note, the hardwood floor head works great on bits of mortar and dust but tends to just push pet fur around without vacuuming it up, motorized head works great on pet fur

I only use it on hardwood and tile floors. It's not good as the only vacuum.

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.

Yep. I hate to add to the chorus, but it scratched my brazilian cherry hardwoods. Just like the above post - if a hard particle gets dragged, it scratches the floor - I sometimes don't notice until a few scratches are made. I'm not happy - I paid a lot of money for the vacuum AND the floors! Does Dyson have anything to say about this problem?

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

It works very well on wood floors without any special optional additional purchases. I also have travertine stone floors and it works well on those, too. I am on my third same vacuum. I love it!

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

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.

Our house has tile floors. Our Dyson does a super job. The head on it is small enough to get into and under most things. The suction is super. It switches from carpet to floors with a button on the the attachment. It is light weight. I also use it on the floors in our 5th wheel travel trailer. I think you will be pleased with its performance on hard wood floors.

It's great for all floors as far as sucking up particles of whatever. As for fine dust, it's on par with any stick vacuum and it will not scratch hardwood floors. I purchased 2 of them.

I have had a very positive experience with this vacuum on different floor types. I have pergo, carpet, hardwood and tile in my home and have found no issues with this vacuum. It is great that it doesn't "spit out" debris when using it on the kitchen tile floor or any of the hard surfaced floors. It has great suction power. I like that i can do all the floors without having to change to the hose part of the vacuum if i don't want to.

Hi Ben, Which Dyson do you have? Do all dysons scratch the hardwood floors? We have the asthma allergy one and it did scratch our brand new floors. We are looking for a Dyson that will not scratch the floor- does anyone have suggestions?Tara

Yes it works great on my natural cherry hardwood. However use the pad or hold off floor for the 15-20 seconds it takes to heat. It does a wonderful job. I have tried and still use Bona also but like this better I either sweep or vacume be fore I use it. I have a lot of wood floors and a dog so I like to pick up as much as possible. I used it last night after my husband dropped a container of yogurt which splattered all over my kitchen!

It works good on wood floors; however, you need to remember that it's not a wet vacuum, it'll just remove dirt and everything, but if you prefer your wooden floors sparkling clean, they'll still need to be cleaned with a mop or whatever you prefer; I mostly use the hose on wooden floors to pick up debris in the kitchen and corridor - it's very powerful and removes everything. As for the carpet, it has low pile and deep pile mode, you just need to turn the knob on the upper part of the body. Hope that helps!

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

It was great in hardwood floors... The ONE time it operated properly. Got a broom? I'd continue using that before you shell any $$ out for this thing.

I have all hardwood and tile in my house and t works great so far. I also have two cats that she's like crazy. I have to vacuum often to keep on too of the hair but this vacuum really picks it up from everywhere. It comes with attachments for just about everything. It's completely sealed as to not expel the dirty air and hair you just picked up. So far so great.
