does this model work well on hard floors?

I have hardwood floors and area rugs. This vacuum has an adjustable deck which makes it rather effective on hard floors, in my experience.

My articulating hard floor tool is not hard, but is a brush all the way around. The brush is flexible, but not overly soft so it seems durable. I think it cleans very well along walls. It is also wider than other hard floor tools I have had, which is great.

The XV-21 cleans hard floors and carpet equally well. The traction wheels automatically adjust to go from hard wood to tile to carpet without any interaction from you. It will even go over thresholds that you often find where carpet meets a hard surface.

I haven't noticed any problems with scratching/damaging my hardwood or tile flooring, but I don't find this vacuum (or other model any I've tried) to be amazing on these surfaces. I still prefer sweeping and using a Shark steamer mop for hard surfaces.

I only have hard wood floors in my house and I love this vacuum. It's awesome.

No. It for hard floors. It is probably the best on the market for hard floors. It is a little expensive, though.

Works best for hard surface floors. Will certainly pick up Cheerios and non adherent food, but there is no beater bar for fuzz and link so these things require a bit of persistence. The suction is much better than the eureka we had previously; very good.

This model works fairly well on hardwood floors, not as well on carpet. I have owned this model for about three years and would say that it is an average vacuum cleaner in quality.

We have only used it on hard wood floors. And it is not a self propelled car/truck/bus in that you do not pull it back or forward to wind it up and then let go.

The machine is awesome and so light. Yes it is designed for floors and another setting for carpet. I have all wood floors on our main floor. It gets a work out and you don't have to touch anything dirty!

We have hard floors with area carpets. The vacuum seems to be able to work on all the surfaces. The suction head is the main link in the process.

I have hard wood floors it sucks up all the dirt very well and it you engage the brush roller it helps enormously. I don't have a dog but I am sure it would work very well, overall it is a great vacuum cleaner for the price. I use my sister's Dyson when I am home in Australia and frankly I think the Hoover is as good -but better value!

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.

Works best and easily on hard flooring. Works ok, with only minor exertion, on carpet with little to no pile.

Hi there, I have tile & grout floors that I use my PowerEdge on, and it picks up everything! The suction on this lightweight vacuum is awesome ... dare I say even better than the pricier one (we all know which I'm referign too!). :) I would recommend it for any hard floors!

I have never tried it on hard floors such as tile. I have only used it on fabric surfaces. Sorry not much help.

I have low pile carpet on my second floor and I think it works well. But another model might work better. This is a great vacuum I can't complain.
