I am confused.. does this vacuum come with everything you need for hardwood floors? or do you need to buy attachments?

The head has two settings. One is better for carpets the other hard wood floors. it's a good little vac for the price and size.

It comes with a attachment for mostly carpets and rugs. The hardwood floor attachment is sold separately. But worth the investment.

I would advise you reach out to the Great Vacs folks, very responsive, to see what additional attachments would be needed.A squeegie attachment is available for wood, stone, linoleum etc. The vac itself I found to be so delightful that when I lost this model back in a 90s breakup, I continued thinking about it until I finally bought one again a month ago.

I have a combo of w/w carpet, hardwood floors, and tile. I use the floor brush attachment for the hardwood floors and tile. It works great! I also have the dog hair issue; not a problem.

I would check the Miele website or amazon to see how much it costs. You get two floor brushes and all the attachments with this model. The floor brushes that are included are the one for hardwood floors and also the motorized one for rugs. You also get the motorized small brush which I think is what you're referring to.

I think it is great on hardwood floors. I don't use the power nozzle much for the floors, though I will when I am rushing from hardwood to carpets for a quick clean up. I prefer the soft brush attachment. I bought this vacuum with my MIL's recommendation. She also lost suction power in her, but here was a filter on the inside of the machine that was completely clogged. Once she took care of that (I can't remember exactly, but I think she just cleaned it, not replaced) it's suction was back to full power.

I was not aware it came with any attachments; however after reading other reviews of this product, it appears these attachments have to be purchased separately.

I have all of that, plus an extra dog. This vacuum keeps the floors perfectly clean. The vacuum-powered rotating brush does a magnificent job on my rugs. I get lazy and use it on the wood floors, too. Sometimes, the rubber wheels leave skid marks but they're easily wiped away. The vacuum does come with a regular head, without a rotating brush. So when I'm feeling energetic I actually put that one on to clean the hardwoods and avoid skidmarks.

It is awesome on hardwood floor, vinyl, ceramic, etc., even with the attachment it comes with. You just need to make sure it is on hardwood floor mode. Carpet is ok. I only use this on hardwood and have separate vacuum for carpet.

Are the attachments included with the vacuum. How does it clean on very thick carpets and is it hard to push. I have a hoover self propelled uprigt now.

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! Lol

It actually comes with much more than 3 attachments. It comes COMPLETE with power nozzle carpet beater brush, electric hose, long wand. Smaller attachments include: floor brush (with natural camel hair, delicate enough not to scratch the wood floors), dusting brush (with natural camel hair as well), crevice tool, upholstery tool, inflator tool, coil cleaner, air flow adapter. Also included 2nd wet/dry hose and 3 sets of pipes to use with the smaller attachments. We also include cushion bag (to clean your cushions and blankets), 4 rainbow fragrances (latest variety pack). We also include a separate water based air purifier machine (independent air purifier/humidifier with its own motor with LED lights (perfect for the bedroom), can also add fragrances in it and use it for aromatherapy. You will LOVE this package and You and Your Family will enjoy its benefits for many many years!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have hardwood floors. I have tile floors and it picks up everything, hair, dust, and the smallest speck the eye can see. I just love it!

Read the details of the listing carefully. The details are several different parts in the listing and make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for all of them. Each listing will be different. The one I purchased came with the standard Kirby hand attachments (wand, different nozzles, blow up air attachments, tile floor head, and hand spray gun.) Mine also came with pet hair attachment. Mine did NOT come with hardwood floor buffer like the listing stated. It did come with the shampooer. Make sure you specify all attachments to be cleaned. Mine ALL came dirty and scratched. The shampooer I got still had soap and hair in it!

Ten inch floor attachment for hard floors and carpet, crevasse tool, small head with and without bristles, and a pet hair tool with rotating bristles. Also a hose and an extending wand. There's an OK hose that doesn't look as durable as I'd like. I bought this for about $80 and I'm happy with it . I recommend ordering more bags when you order the vacuum as they can be hard to find in stores.

Currently I have not used any accessories. I just use it as a floor vacuum, so I had to go looking for the accessories that came with it. I may not have found every single one that came with it, but I think I did, so the short answer: it comes with at least 5 attachments and a floor caddy. They are as follows: Dusting Brush (1185FC500), 12 inch Crevice Tool (X11FC500), Large Power Brush (X13FC500), Multi-Angle Dusting Brush (X15FC500), Straight Suction Floor Nozzle (XSN500), and finally the Canister Caddy (X16FC500). For more information (like what these parts actually look like as if you are like me you have no idea what the name of each part technically is) on these parts go to http://www.sharkclean.com/rotator/professional-lift-away-nv500/parts-and-accessories/.

I want to know the same thing! I just saw that the dog doesn't have suction so I'm thinking my hardwood floors would need the roomba?

This hose does not attach to the current hose on the vac. You have to remove the shorter hose and then attach the longer one. It is a heavier hose and noticeably so when doing regular floor vacuuming. So you'll probably only want to attach it when you need a longer reach. Hope this helps.
