Do you think this vacuum will work on a concrete stamped floor in our sunroom? Our upright scratched it. We need a brush that will not scratch.

Greetings....the floors that i use this product on are also concrete. The vacuum head has two settings. If you look on the vaccum head there are two buttons which control if the brushes come out or not. This vac can do hard floors floors and not scratch them due to this feature. the brush bristles, when activated come out about 1 inch. i've had the vaccum for almost a 1.5 years and i'm just now getting to the point of having to change the head which you can buy on amazon. Hope this helps.

The vacuum will work perfect on your concrete stamped floor. The vacuum comes with three attachments, the one pictured wit the vacuum has height adjustable brushes that are not to rough or to stiff but still do the job great on bare floors. In addition it also has a small round attachment with a circular brush for cleaning more gentle objects like curtains, the ceiling and for me, my computer. The last tool does not have a brush but it is a crevice tool meant to reach hard places, I've used it for cleaning my furnace and it works great. Another nice feature on this vacuum is that you can control the amount of suction you want by simply moving a small door for lack of a better term with your thumb. It's located conveniently on the wand in easy reach. Also it has a automatic roll up hose engaged by the simple push of the button when your down, no more winding up your electrical cord. Lastly the vacuum bags are easy to change and have a full indicator to assist you, the vacuum is lightweight with a pick up handle and the motor is powerful and quiet which I really like. Any more questions ? feel free to ask I hope I addressed your concerns.

Our Dyson scratched our hardwood floors. It's too low to the ground, so anything hard & tiny will get pushed & ground into the floor by the vacuum.

Yes! I use mine on a carpeted floor and haven't had any problems. I actually think it might be preferred to use on carpet. It also comes with a little mat that you can put under the machine to help with carpet indentions. Enjoy the machine if you purchase it--I love mine! :)

I have only used it on carpet. Hmmmn. I might have to try it on concrete. It is wonderful on carpet tho'.

It works fine on our hardwood floors. There is really nothing to scratch them and it does pick up my dog's hair and fine dirt and dust.

I cannot say for sure that it would not, but I can say this vacuum doesn't have the classic roller brush with stiff bristles. It has rotating flexible rubber flaps that spin. Works more like the "old timey" way of cleaning rugs - hanging them over a line and smacking them. There's nothing that really seems to catch and chew - even on my older apartment carpet that has some exposed seams and loose threads. Sorry I can't provide a more definite answer.

Ths Slim in my opion is the best upright Dyson of all. When turning it may scratch if front wheels on nozzle are sliding left-right when vacuum is not being pushed forward/backward. The front wheels roll in a straight line and are not castors and so the vac needs to be pushed and turned together to help prevent scratching (not always but sometimes this can be a problem). If pushing/pulling vac while turning - all will be fine. The Fix: Careful when turning or use a Dyson nozzle on the wand when vacuum hard surfaces. This is what I do and it works very well. Brushes on floor nozzle work better at removing sticky dust vs. the rubber blade on Slim (under nozzle). Please reply and let me know if this helps.

I've never heard of a beater-brush. It's not a shop-vac. This is much heavier duty. It has several attachments, like my Electrolux did. The long floor attachment has 2 settings, one for bare floors and one for carpets. I wish I could be more helpful! The friend who recommended it uses it on all types of florrs and floor coverings in many different houses; he's in construction. Possibly the company can answer you better than I. Good luck! I'm sold on this vacuum...and vacuuming is my least favorite thing to do.

There is an attachment called the "brush bar" that comes with the DC39 animal canister. It is designed to be used on both carpeting and hard surface floors. For carpets use the attachment with the rotating brush (build in) on. For hard surface floors leave rotating brush turned off. Might be a question of some scuffing/scratching on hard surfaces but I haven't noticed it yet. Still marveling over the job it does with cat and dog hair in carpets. Haven't investigated subject but I'm sure Dyson offers other hard surface attachments if "brush bar" poses a problem on your hard surfaces. Mike A

Absolutely! That is why I bought mine. Half of my house is wood floors the other half is stained concrete. I LOVE my Dyson vacuum!!! It is one if my best purchases!!!!

Yes, it will work on wood floors. However, the "feet" are made of hard plastic; I don't think that scratching would be a problem, but it does tend to slide around a bit on my hard plastic chair mat, and I expect that it would do so on a hard floor as well.

The floor tool has nylon bristles. I would say it would not scratch laminate flooring.

I use it on mine. There is a flap that drops down flush with the floor that may pose an issue but you can manually flap up if you're worried it may scratch. (this is the eraser part-- it's covered in felt and I haven't noticed scratching on my wood. Though to be fair my wood is pretty scratched from my 2 dogs and 3 kids. Lol)

Yes it works best on woof floors. There are no brushes to hurt the floors or shoot the dirt. Powerful suction captures the dirt.

I have hardwood floors and the standard attachment works fine (no scratching), and there is a brushed attachment that you may prefer. However, downsides of this product as the "bag" is too small, if you have mostly hardwood floors it should work fine, but I have a wool rug that fills it up completely. Also suction is OK, works fine for most things, but for the price this is a pretty good product.

It has great suction. Its designed so that it doesn't clog with hair/fur. I don't see why it wouldn't work on hardwood/tile floors.

There are two settings on the vacuum head, one setting sits lower to the ground. Our home has wood floors, tiled floors, standard carpet, and a low-pile area rug, and this vacuum works on all the surfaces. Additionally, if I slide open a suction cover on the handle (so the suction is less powerful), I can use it on my leather sofa (dog hair!), which is great. This vacuum is a very nice machine.
