Dyson vacuum cleaners are generally safe to use on hardwood floors. The key is to use the correct cleaning head suitable for your floor kind.
For example:
- Dyson V8, V7, V6, HH08, SV06, SV09, SV10, SV11 models have a motorhead which uses a soft fluffy roller. Thats the best for hardwood, engineered wood floors.
- Dyson DC59, DC62, V6 came with a motorhead which had a traditional bristle based roller
- Dyson DC72 (V6 Digital Slim Animal Cordless), SV04 (V6 Cordless Stick Fuschia), SV06 (V6 Fluffy Cordless) and SV09 (V6 Absolute Cordless) came with a motorhead which was best for both hardwood as well as carpet as it had low bristle height and a smooth spindle kind of brushroll
So know what kind of flooring you have, the ratio of your carpeted area to hard floor / hard surface area and make a purchase decision based on that.
Always buy the one which best suits your need.
Once you have made a decision and brought a Dyson Vacuum home, make sure
- The wheels below the motor head and always in good condition, moving freely and free of an debri
- Always clean the rollers after a month of cleaning. Earlier if you are a daily cleaner
- Always make sure that the roller bristles are good and upright condition and make sure it rotates freely in the motorhead.
Just keeping a motorhead clean and free of any debris will make sure that the Dyson you bought does not scratch your valuable hardwood floors.
