How do the Miele uprights do on hard-surface floors? I have a mix of carpet, vinyl, &amp; wood flooring.

I actually like how it auto adjusts from carpet to hardwood floor without having to change the height of the wheels. It does a good job on wood floors and has a low profile to get under couches and chairs. I hope this helps.

i have tile AND carpet. depends on the carpet. regular bedroom carpet: it does a great job. however, i just bought some modern "high pile" rugs at ikea and the roomba won't move on them :-( my mom has the 780 roomba and that one moves on high pile rugs easily. luckily, the rugs i bought are small enough to just shake them. again, it does a great job on regular bedroom carpets. my friends have only carpets and have had all generations of roombas and love them.

We have only used in on carpet-does a real great job for such a cost effective machine. Does it say in the write up its goof for tile/vinyl floors? Don't recall seeing that-not out of the question but I'm not sure. Hope that helpsThanx Ron

I've found that the hard sliders work well on short-nap carpet, less well on long carpets like "shag". I purchased these for some bar stools on ceramic tile floor, and of course they work fine there. I have experience moving heavy furniture on carpet, and found that the hard sliders are usually a big help, depending on the length of the fibers in the carpet. The shorter the carpet, the better they work.

So far, but I've mostly used it on carpet. I have a lot of hardwood floor, however, so I'll keep you posted.

Does NOT work well on carpet. Does clean hard surfaces both wet and dry very well. I also bought a small canister bag less vac with the hose to vac area rugs, baseboards. closets, bathroom and furniture--hard to reach places with upright. Hope that helps. Peace

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.

so far i have only used my indoors, on carpet. they are made for all terians so i read. And appear to clean up easy. I have had mine a week now. I do love them. They give you a great work out. i have used them on the concrete patio as well. you can jump higher. I feel like the carpet makes you work alittle harder. but they are still easy and fun to use.

I have dark and glossy wooden flooring (Santos Mahogany) in my house. I regularly use Roomba to vacuum them, and I do not get any scratches on my floor.

Our house has tile floors. Our Dyson does a super job. The head on it is small enough to get into and under most things. The suction is super. It switches from carpet to floors with a button on the the attachment. It is light weight. I also use it on the floors in our 5th wheel travel trailer. I think you will be pleased with its performance on hard wood floors.

My bad...I've had mine so long, I forgot about the carpet glide attachment. I have only used mine on hard surfaces.

Yup. Just got the DC28 Animal and used the 'bare floor' setting on my bamboo floors. it scratched em up real good! Using the machine on the "low carpet" setting seems to be better, but I'm a nervous wreck when I use it.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

Hi, they are like a medium, not too hard and not too soft that they would not be able to grab dirt and push it up. I think this vacuum will be fine for your type of carpet.

Works very well on carpet. I don't have hard wood floors but used it in kitchen and bathroom floor....its built good. Its light weight.... I had a hoover for ten years..this one sucks better...it really picks up a lot.

We have had our Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner for a few weeks. Got it for Christmas. Thank goodness it was purchased from COSTCO.com because it is going back tomorrow. But, to answer your question.......we have not attempted to use it on vinyl flooring, BUT.......we have had a HOOVER FLOOR MATE for about 7 months now, and LOVE it! It does a FANTASTIC job, and is a much better machine than the Flip-It machine. Give it a try, you'll LOVE IT! We got ours as SEARS, and would not be without it. I did notice on QVC around the Holidays Hoover introduced a cordless model. I think it would hold a charge (was coordless.....rechargeable) for 30-40 min's. Our house is just too large for that, but if it would hold a charge for aobut 3 hours, then we'd even buy a 2nd model. We believe in the product (corded model) that much. FANTASTIC....buy one!

It's amazing on hard floors! My vinyl feels like it's been mopped after I've vacuumed. I have three kids and two cats and I vacuum a lot, but even if you let it go and don't vacuum for a while, this pics up everything. It's also wonderful on carpet, that's about half my 1800sq ft house.
