Does it come with attachment for bare floors or do you have to buy it extra? Or do you just use it as an upright.Wouldn't the spinning throw the dirt?

There's a selector on it that you turn to bare floors and it turns off the roller.

There is not a separate attachment that I am aware of. The lowest setting works fine on bare floors. The direction of the brushing coupled with the suction works well. I haven't noticed any problem.

The simple nozzel/brush plugs in to a short vertical post about midway on the vac's side. As for the spinning brush attachment, I belive you store that in your closet. They made this vac as compact as possible and there's just no place to hang, attach, or clamp it to the unit and not have look/be awkward. I have an older Dyson with a bunch of attachments, unfortunately, they have to sit in the closet as well. Like the Hoover, the fit but too much to hang all over the vac.

The brush head is not powered so it is not suited for carpet. Bare floors is what it is best for.

I have never had any problem using just the hose. It was one of the reasons I really like this vacuum. I put it in the upright position and yes, I do put it to bare floor if I am using the hose for a little longer than a quick clean up. Hope that helps!

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.

dirt dog doesnt have a suction but is a sweeper....it's terrific and i also have a dog in the house....i have wood floors and tiled floors...it works great on both.............i use dirt dog on my patio outside and also use it on the garage floor....i am amazed how it works and cleans such a big area even without virtual walls........but it does have a problem on fringed carpets...i just tuck them under.....i am looking to get a vaccum roomba for house and keep my dirt dog for patio and garage.....but it works great in house too.....

Yes. My son actually uses it without the floor attachment. He pushes himself and I think is actually easier to maneuver than pushing it. When he wants to be push, he just put his feet up. We don't use much the floor attachment.

It works awesome on stairs and is A LOT less work and trouble than other vacuums for this purpose. I bought mine mainly for the stairs but have almost retired the upright completely now. As for regular attachments - they wouldn't fit, but with a little determination and some old fashioned ingenuity I plan to come up with a way.

No, it does not. It's only meant to clean hard floor surfaces, and doesn't have any accessories.

Yes. You can use it for light floor vacuum jobs with no wipe attached. You can also take off the floor head and put on attachments for cleaning corners, dusting, furniture etc. I even used it on a small flat rug that I have at my entry way and it did a fair job. Of course not as strong as a regular vacuum. But for daily cleaning upkeep, it's very handy and easy to use.

No, there are no attachments. But mine works great on carpets and on my kitchen floor. I still like it as much as the day I bought it!

That power head just doesn't seem to work well on bare floors. Some said it even scratched their floors. Best bet is get the kenmore bare floor tool attachment that's compatible with this vac. You'll like it and its only about ten bucks.

I agree with both Steve Brenner and John C, based on a few months of experience with this attachment bought for use on our hardwood floor at home. Also, the bristle row has a couple mm of gap all along the front too, i.e. they are raised vs the rest of the bristles around the sides and back, I suppose to get the wind speed up as it advances. When you pull it backward across a not yet vaccumed section of floor the bristles in the back always touch the floor and are dense enough there to kick the dirt back/not permit it to be pulled up. You wouldn't use it to vaccum carpet much but can hit the occasional section. Grabs dirt out of the sliding glass door jamb better than the hard plastic attachment does, by a long shot. The bristles are in great shape after several months of use, a couple times a week on about 2k ftsq of house. Long story short, get this attachment for your hardwood or sensitive hard flooring materials, and push it forward to grab dirt, pull it backwards across floor that has already been swept.

It works fine on bare floors if you use the provided extension hoses and brushes. The hose plus extensions aren't very long, so I kept my steel attachments and long hose from my old vacuum. They fit and don't restrict my movements.The other thing to watch for is the small cap that hinges over the exhaust port when you use the hose - it tends to unclip sometimes.

No. It just spin on the top part. And works great. I don't have to break my back scrubbing and do all my floors in no time

No. It does not come with any attachments. Simply an upright vacuum/sweeper with 1 setting for carpet and 1 for floors.

I do not have the manual but I can possibly answer some questions for you. I bought this vacuum a couple of months ago and it has great suction for floors. There are a few extra tools on board the vacuum in a small compartment near the hose attachment. This vacuum is not really made for carpets. The vacuum bags are pretty easy to find, they are also sold on Amazon.
