Hi Kosta - This unit is intended for hard floors including sealed wood flooring.

Here's a you tube video that shows it being used on a concrete floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDnukl-wJG8

Yes. It is solid bamboo and can be used on both sides, but only one side has a groove.

We do not have any bamboo floors but we do have hardwood, carpet, and laminated hardwood. All three fare just fine with this cleaner. There are two settings - high and low, so you could set it to the low setting if you worry. However, I always have mine set to high and have not seen any damage.

The blade is made for cutting wood. It will surely cut the bamboo part of the floor. The aluminum finish might wear the blade faster then wood cutting.

Yes. I works on all wood surfaces. It will make your bamboo floors look like new! I use it on my old, old oak floors and they look great. Good luck. I wish I could see how beautiful your floors look after you wash them with this. Love bamboo floors!

Yes it definitely can be used, thanks to its unique extended centre column. You can almost touch the ground by positioning the center column at a lower angle. Hope that helps.

I used mine on hardwood, so not sure about bamboo! sorry! have you thought about a steam mop! I have one now and like it much more..easier too!

I wouldn't think you would want to do that. They are made with little plastic nipples on the bottom side, sort of like Lego toys. These support the bamboo top and allow water to flow through under the bamboo. If you were to put these on raw ground, the dirt would clog up the water flow and probably promote rot in the bamboo. I think they are more designed to set on top of a hard surface like a wood deck, concrete, etc..

I wouldn't unless the floor was teak. It is used on unfinished wood and it can darken it.

Yes....we just put down around 700 sq. ft. of 5/8" bamboo and did not have any problem. You will need to get 1-1/2" L cleats to use with the machine. You have to be sure you hold the gun down tightly when you hit it so it doesn't jump and possibly nail too high--which will mark the board. Good machine.....good luck. p.s. Our floor looks great!

Yes- althoughI use it on a carpet - I would not hesitate to use it on a wood floor. Joan

It should work on bamboo floor panels. My floor was a laminate and it didn't have any problems. I recommend you buy an extra blade so you wont be stuck if and when it gets worn out.

Absolutely it will work! You can fiddle with the pressure from the compressor to lighten the blow mentioned by Eric in his answer. For bamboo, I personally use a MIIIfc (cleater) for bamboo and prefinished flooring. The foot should be used to keep from damaging prefinished floor by having a slightly off side to side angle.

I've used it on my bamboo floor for a while and generally it works. There are some spots that were a bit tough to get up but leaving it on a bit longer and scrubbing a bit harder did the trick.

Yes you can cut bamboo floor, will cut smoth. I use it for cutting ply wood, strips of treated wood, pvc panels and more. The only thing I used mine never on floor and now that I don't need it any more it's getting hard to get rid or it. Almost no body do floors often enough to buy it. Its was more a one job desire. Now is some were inside a tool cart waiting for my next rustic art project. Good luck.

Yes you can use it on a wood floor. The suction cups might not work, but it comes with plastic covers for the suction cups.
