I have never used a canister vacuum before. When pulling the canister around, does it bump walls and furniture alot?

No the canister doesn't bump into walls and furniture alot. That being said, you need to remember the canister is going to go where you pull it. If it bumps into something, it's "driver error" and not the fault of the vacuum.

It does it will actually pick up hair and dirt from almost anything but is the best for furniture, it has this awesome rolling brush inside that you will love :-)

The suction is very strong.... I liked this so much I replaced my canister vac with a Miele Capri. I use this for floors only because it is too heavy for me to use as a dustbuster etc....

Depends on the clearance of the furniture, (obviously) but the biggest problem with this model is the vacuum hose and it's loose fit to the brush roller area, pushing the vacuum under any furniture tends to work the hose loose and requires reattachment on a regular basis.The other slight problem is the discharge vent is right below the bag chamber, so if you use this on a hardwood floor, be prepared to chase down the dirt, dust bunnies as well as the loose hose problem mentioned earlier.

I usually use my Dustbuster on bathroom rugs, or shake them. So I got my Dyson out & tried it. It pulled the small rug when I pulled the vacuum toward me, but the rug didn't roll up into the floor piece.

I have it all over my floors and it is great. You have to tape down the edges so it won't slide but then you can even vacuum it.

I haven't noticed any scratches. It says in the user manual to be careful where you have it when you have it in the upright position to use the tools. I have a wood laminate floor and put the vacuum on an area rug when I use the tools just to be safe. So far so good!

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

I have used it on my queen and now king sized bed without trouble as well as my floor. Know that you are using it more for the UV than the suction. It does pick up well, not as well as a full size vacuum though.

There are no rough edges so it should not scratch your floors. I have hardwoods and it moves around fine. Also it is very light and can be lifted easily although sturdy enough that it won't tip over at all. Highly recommended.

It sure does, but to be honest I never used it. The vacuum is small enough that when I want to do the couch I just pick it up and vacuum it just like I did the floor.

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

It doesn't really "pick up" more than dust, but will push large chunks into a pile. It's great for quickly sweeping large spaces. I wouldn't necessarily call it a detail/nook and cranny cleaning tool though.

It slides smoothly in carpet but I would not recommend this to vacuum your carpet unless it is an area rug. I highly recommend this for a hard floor.

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

It does slide smoothly on rugs and carpeting. All around, I love this vacuum. I prefer uprights but because I have mostly wood floor and I do not want scratches I purchased this one and I have not been disappointed. Good suction, lightweight, versatile and easy to maneuver from one surface to another...

I had an upright for many years. I now really prefer the canister because you are able to reach under things-couch, large chairs. Stairs and above the floor dusting are easy. I would not go back to an upright. Great product!
