Can you use it on bare floors

Yes but it is mainly for carpet use. It does not have the brushroll on off button or it would work real good. Thank you

No these are made for carpets only. cpu 1t and 2t can be purchased with option accessories that would allow you to vacuum bare floors

Yes, but it doesn't do well, it does ok with the accessory kit that has floor brush attachment.

I sometimes do, hard wood and vinyl, but it's not intended for that purpose. I do it when I'm being lazy. The results are OK and I haven't noticed any damage to the floor or vacuum.

It won't hurt the floor, but it would be uncomfortable if you walk on the floor in bare feet! Also, I would think the only way to remove it would be to sand/refinish the floor.

I use it at work under my desk, so I haven't tried it with bare feet. I think it would be though... there are little nubs all over the top which look they would be relaxing like a little foot massage.

Yes you can, it works well on all surfaces. We use it in the office everyday and we have carpet.

Aftef having used this vacuum for some time, I would say that yes it does an ok job on bare floors , but the issue is that the filter itself is too small which results in it clogging and not vacuuming too well until you clean it.... at least that's my experience, but then again I live in a desert area.

As mentioned, using the hose and attachments work fine. However, moving a canister vacuum around bare floors is much easier and nothing gets blown around. If you have mostly bare floors you want a canister, if you have most carpet, you need an upright. In a pinch though this upright can be used for bare floors.

This hasn't been a problem for any of the users in our house, and if anything I'd think slipping would be more of an issue on bare floors. We haven't used it on anything but carpet, though, so I know it's fine there.

You really don't have to do that. Works great on low floors and carpets for minor pick ups etc.

You can but I wouldn't buy it for that. It is the best steamer for floors I have had and I owned three other brands. Use distilled water or you will clog this unit up with water gunk.

I have hard wood floors and no carpet so am unable to answer your question.

It does not work on bare floors as well as on rugs - but I use it anyway in my kitchen- just have to run it back and forth a bit more on bare floors.

It can be used either way. It does not have any kind of feet so the bottom will sit flat on the floor... The only problem there is if you have it on a floor you mop you will have to be careful so they don't get wet. You would have to find a way to stabilize them if they are on carpet. They do not have much depth

Yes, we use it everywhere. But don't expect it to work on heavily dirty floors. Okay for every day use.

Not really, it's ment for hard floors. But in a pinch, it's better than bare wire.

I find the wand easy to handle on bare floors, but if the height setting is too low on carpets and rugs, you can actually break the wand because it requires excessive force to push.

It works fine on bare floors if you use the provided extension hoses and brushes. The hose plus extensions aren't very long, so I kept my steel attachments and long hose from my old vacuum. They fit and don't restrict my movements.The other thing to watch for is the small cap that hinges over the exhaust port when you use the hose - it tends to unclip sometimes.

Yes, it can be used on the floor or table top but used on the floor it will be very short...
