How does the Dyson DC41 do on hardwood floors?

Actually quite well...My only issue was with the machines quality of construction.

It does good on hardwood, I use a broom for hard to get corners and such and the vacuum for the rest

Due to the great suction and the head peice lowers to the conture of floors

Does well but you have to push a switch to change over from carpet vacuum to hard floors. No big deal. Just stops the brushes from spinning.

I learned the hard way that u have to turn the spinning brush off. Otherwise it just throws dirt everywhere. I recently got new carpet and I guess it is a little to plush. It used to flow great from carpet to hard wood with my thinner carpet.

By now, you've no doubt made your purchase, however . . .after using my DC39 on a mix of hard flooring, ceramic tile and shag carpeting, I finally broke down and purchased the DC41 for use on the carpeting. The extra weight at the brush end helps greatly in reaching down to the lowest fibers.

I only use it on hardwood but it works great picking up the dog hair. I'm real glad I bought it

Roomba works very well on wood and laminate floors! It works in a consistent pattern to pick up dirt and debris without leaving marks behind. I have multiple pets and it always picks up hair and dirt well. The bin fills quickly, so one must check often to assure maximum sweeping action. It also must have a pretty obstacle free floor to work most efficiently. If you move stuff around a lot or have lots of clutter, that impedes Roomba's ability to work by memory and it may appear to bump around randomly in this situation. Love Roomba and even purchased a Scuba after my Roomba purchase.

It's too bad no one has replied to your post - I have the same question! I can only tell you that I currently have a Dyson (w/ all hardwood floors & two cats) and I am not impressed. Good luck.

It is not as noisy as a vacuum cleaner, but it does make a noise. However, this version is not user friendly. You will need to remove thee bottom to distend the debris, vs. the initial version, which stays attached to the unit and once empty you can click back in place. And this version does not work as well as the initial version. Works great on hardwood floors, not as well on carpet.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

I asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.

I have laminate and tile floors as well as area rugs, and the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister works very well on all of my different floor surfaces. There is a button on the handle to turn off the power brush bar to prevent scratching of floors. Honestly, it works fine with the brush on or off.

The first time I used it, it worked well on carpet and then quit sucking as it should. I may have just got a bad one. I got a DC41 and love it. Works great on my carpets and picks up cat hair great.

I have 2 Dyson Milti Floor Plus Compact vacuums for each level of my home. I have a variety of flooring including hand scraped wood, carpet and stone. The Dyson is great on each surface. I'm Amazed at how much pet hair my old vacs were not picking up! If you have pets, this Dyson is excellent! I have 4 long hair cats and a Lab plus 2 teens and husband and the Dyson cleans all their messes!

I have wood laminate floors and it works great, great suction, no problems. I am very satisfied with my DC41.

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.

The dc40 is kinda like the cheaper more affordable model when compared to the dc41. Also depending on your needs of you have more carpet than hard floors I recommend getting the full size dc65 as it was made specifically to clean carpets better. Also the dc65 is a little bigger and more powerful but it also is almost two or three hundred dollars more than the dc40. Hope this helped!

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 vacuums any rug efficiently. When vacuuming in the bathroom, I can vacuum the tile floor and the bath rugs without having to change attachments and it does an excellent job! Love this Dyson! Never had such an efficient vacuum!

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.
