re: Best vacuum for hardwood floors

Have two dyson all hardwood in the house and tile in the bathrooms:
1. LINK
Mainly for dog hair, quick cleans, and rugs.
2.LINK
For wife because "its just better"

seriously dude, get a roomba

best 500 bucks i've spent since that whore in reno

I've had a Kirby G4 for at least 15 years (heck maybe close to 20). It was pricey ($1,000) but it deep cleans and I've only had to replace the hose twice and that's it. It's been worth the money.

For the past 2 years I've had a Neato and now I just use the Kirby intermittently.

In the market for a new vacuum. Have had a Dyson as well as a Kenmore Cannister. Would be used primilarly for hardwood floors and a few rugs. If anyone has one of those Dyson cordless ones, I would like to know what you think about it.

Love my Dyson V8 Absolute. Has a fluffy brushhead for hardwood floors. Best money I ever spent. Had Dyson Animal Ball previously and hated it.

I only have one room of carpet and its shag.

Best vacuum Ive ever used. Light, cheap, plenty of power, best attachment hose Ive ever used, super easy to deploy and stretches a long-arse way. Brush attachment is short enough to use for your car and in other tight spaces yet has a really long and collapsible, hard-tube attachment(doubles as handle) for reaching up high like in the corners of a room to get spider webs. Self adjusting between hard floors and carpet. HEPA so it wont throw fine dust in the air. Filters are washable and reusable. Ive had mine for years and have never replaced them. Just rinse and dry. Canister is really easy to empty and clean. Vacuum lays down completely flat to get under tables, chairs, beds, couches, etc.

Hoover really thought of everything with this one and I cant think of one thing I would change anything about it.

There is another model by Hoover thats very similar to this one and even uses the same nomenclature. I have both. It has a swivel head which makes it quicker to use but that also a point of failure. It also has more power without adding much weight. I hate the attachment hose on it. Its much shorter and the attachment brush is long as hell so it cant be used in tight quarters.



This is the second one I described with the swivel head.



If you arent going to use it for the attachments or its hose then get the second one as youll get more powerful suction and the swivel head is convenient.

Is that the Dyson that doesn't allow hair to get tangled up in the roller? I need one that is like that bc my wife's hair is all over the house constantly

Man I’ve been looking at an autovac unit...just wasn’t sure if they were any good. I have no carpet in my house and really need something that’s good in corners and baseboards.

I second the dyson. Whenever I empty out the canister, I can never believe the amount of shite that thing picks up.

I have the ball and I second this. I vacuum and then empty it and think good fricking god, thank god my mom isn’t here to see this.

Mele vacuum.

If you have to drag something across hardwood flooring, get a Riccar Moonlight. Very quiet, light weight, won't damage the finish. An upright of any design is bad for hardwood flooring, small canister is better, backpack style is the best. Once I've refinished my hardwood floors I'm getting an Atrix vacuum and my Kirby will just do the rugs.
