Much better than you can imagine and is safer for your hardwood floors too! Every central vacuum system comes with a deluxe barefloor bristle brush. Very few bagless uprights do and even if they can fit on your upright, they are extremely awkward to use.  Flip over the nozzle of your upright and look closely at the small or non-existent wheels on bottom.  This could very easily scratch the finish on your nice hardwood floors; traditional, bamboo or engineered flooring can all be affected when grit gets between the small wheels or baseplate of your bagless upright nozzle head.
