Is this vacuum good enough that you don't ever need to manually vacuum? Please describe your floor situation (hard wood, carpet, etc), as well.

I have hardwood floors in ~ 780 sq ft home with a dog and no stairs. My hoover now sits in a corner lonely. Roomba does a near perfect job. I bought low profile rugs specifically with Roomba in mind so it can climb up them. Runs 3 times a week.
1363434
I have carpeted floors - and I don't ever need to manually vacuum the rooms that my Roomba goes through. I've watched it when it senses a little extra dirt and it goes over the area a couple of times. I do run my Roomba daily.

We use Roomba on tile and carpet and rarely have to use a different vacuum to reclean an area. We have to use a handheld vacuum on stairs or tight areas such as behind commode where Roomba cannot reach.

I have hardwood floors and large area rugs. If you don't have any pets, the robot will work wonders on both hardwood floor & area rug as well as along the edges of your area rug. But, if you have pet fur, the robot does a horrible job as it sweeps the fur along the sides of the area rug, the floor bordering the rug, and also drags some of it across the rug. If you let it run about 3 cycles, it can handle the most of this type of situation, but it's a pain and I found myself often revacuuming what the robot left behind. Look at pics from my review to see what I'm talking about. If you have no pets and you have hardwood floor/rugs, I'd say it's a great buy, but if you have furry animals, beware.

I got mine for Christmas, was somewhat skeptical!! AMAZING!!!!! I have all hardwood floors, some large area rugs, and 2 small dogs!!! My wood is mohagany so it is dark, would show dust under furniture. Now I am totally dust free everywhere on the floor, no animal hair at all! This things is amazing!!! I can never say enough about the effectiveness of this vacuum. Honestly, I never would have believed how great it is until I tried it myself! My home is a little over 2700 feet, all one floor, and this goes everywhere! It easily goes under furniture and transitions from the hard wood to the area rugs with no issues at all!

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

I love this vacuum. I purchased this when we replaced our carpet with wooden floors. Our dog sheds quite a bit. It works very well with picking up pet hair on hard floor surfaces. You will have to clean filter areas monthly to keep suction up to par. You won't be disappointed.

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

I definitely don't recommend it! We have wood floors and carpeting, 2 sets of stairs, and 2 cats. The brush roller on carpet is TERRIBLE. It doesn't pick anything up and hair gets tangled in it constantly. I actually have to take the roller apart after (and sometimes during) each use to clean the hair out of it. As for the hard floor attachment, it pretty much just pushes stuff around and hardly gets anything. It's a shame because I can tell the suction on the actual vacuum is great. The real problem is the attachments. They're just not designed well. I wish I had never bought this vacuum. If you still want it though I'll sell you mine for really cheap!

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

I do not personally own this vacuum but, according to a neat little review site called "Apartment Therapy", they like Eureka's Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Sweeper. They say it is "the best hard floor vacuum for pet owners."

It does really well. You can crank it down to bare floor and if you lean the vacuum forward at all it will suction itself to the floor so hard you can't move. We usually use one setting above bare floor and it'll get dust/hair/lose dirt/etc. It doesn't remove jelly or other sticky food remnants that are stuck to the floor (with the kids under 5, this is an unfortunate reality at our house), but I don't think any vacuum does.

I do not have carpet. Probably not, because it is more like a broom. It is my favorite vacuum. It is so convenient I use it all the time.

I don't sweep but I have to vacuum! How can you not sweep or vacuum? And I don't know what prompted this question and I don't know why I'm answering (to be frank). I vacuum my carpets and floor. I rather suck up any dust and then mop.

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.

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!

I don't have hard wood floors but I do have ceramic tile floors and on the lowest setting it works fairly well, not as good as sweeping but it does pick up the dust balls and dirt. The corners are an issue so I will use the crevice tool. The only thing I might be concerned about using this on hard wood floors or vinyl tiles would be the brush might be too rough for it but I do not know for certain.

I've had my NC-UL915 for over a year now and use to as much to vaccum my hard wood floors and kitchen linoleum as I do my carpeted surfaces. I think it has very good suction, but I find that dirt collecls at the air intake inside to bagless dirt colector and needs to be cleaned by hand when the bagless container is emptied (upper part ot bagless container). Overall, I am happy with this vaccum; very versatite and I like the dirt sensor feature.

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

I have a Dyson and will admit that it cleans well. It is noisy and I had to send it back for problems with extreme noise, it took two weeks before it came back. A year later the same problem came back. I am looking to buy the Hoover.

pretty good, I use th edge attachment and they also have a floor attachment. You can also just vacume in bare floor mode...
