I have four kinds of hard floors, with a full range of smoothnesses and textures: concrete with large grout lines, rough lumber, engineered wood, and tiles. This vacuum is "expert" at them all! Though it's lightweight, the wide-stance of the wheels prevent the body of the canister from tipping over, as it pivots and follows me me effortlessly. For such a powerful vacuum, it was also quieter than I expected. And Bissell's bagless design gives me a great sense of accomplishment, as I can see all the cleaning I'm doing!
