Some Dysons are particularly engineered to clean hard floors, especially those with soft roller heads. If you're interested in a stick vacuum with a soft roller head for this purpose, be sure to check out the Dyson Omni-Glide, which is designed for hard floors in particular. A model like the Dyson Ball Multi Floor is adept at cleaning both hardwood flooring and carpeting. That said, not all Dysons should be used on hardwood. If in doubt, check the product specifications before you use your Dyson on your hardwood floor.
