Looking for a cordless vacuum for our house that is almost all hardwood floors. Some tile in there, and a good amount of rugs. Most important to me is something that won't leave scuff marks on the wood floors, and second that we don't need to switch attachments for the rugs. This will also be our primary vacuum, so something of high quality. Willing to spend what I need to if it's worth it.

Right now I'm leaning towards the dyson v12. It has a hardwood floor attachment, but I don't know if that will work at all on rugs. Is the normal attachment safe for wood? we don't want any micro scratches if possible.

Looking for a cordless/stick vacuum for quick cleanups on hardwood floors and daily household use (like food crumbs in the kitchen, cobwebs in the corner of ceiling, etc). I don’t have carpets other than a few low-pile doormats at the front door. Also, no pets as well.

I know a cordless doesn't have strong suction or as well-built as a corded one… but I’d trade it for convenience and ease of use. It’s a PITA having to plug it in every room and watch out for the cord when moving it around.

Budget is around $300 but willing to spend a bit more if it's high-quality, with more parts availability, and could last me a good number of years (assuming I take good care of it).

Any suggestions or advice are much appreciated. Would be great if you lemme know where you bought your vacuum from (online or in-store) so I could take a look at it too! :)

Hi, I currently have a Dyson (which I’ve bought a couple of years ago, without consulting Reddit, unfortunately).

I’m looking to buy something better now, with r/VacuumCleaners help this time around.

• Apartment

  • Noise isn’t a problem, since the sound insulation is pretty good

• Only hard floors

• Pets

  • 4 cats. They don’t shed a lot, but there’s still pet hair here and there

• Cordless

  • Just more convenient than having to haul a big unit from room to room. Especially because we often spot vacuum throughout the day.

  • If I weren’t looking at a cordless vacuum, I’d probably get a Miele C1.

  • I also have a Roomba that I run from time to time. The idea is to use a cordless vacuum for the spots that Roomba can’t get to, and to vacuum hotspots more often.

Can you recommend something that fits these reqs?

I have newly installed hardwood floors and bought a Miele Triflex that scratched the floors, so then bought a Dyson V15 with the fluffy head and that also scratched them, I’m seriously losing my mind. They both have the plastic bottoms sitting too close to the floor. I have a lab and need a cordless for the daily vacuuming.

I’ve been going through a lot of posts on here, and I know the sub often recommends Sebo or Miele canisters, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m only interested in cordless stick vacuums this time.

I found the Dyson V15 Detect (factory renewed), Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty (IP3251), and Tineco Pure One Station 5 all for about the same price. Based on that, which one would you recommend? If there’s something else you think beats these three, I’m open to suggestions.

My home’s mostly hardwood floors, and while it’s not a must, an attachment for couches or mattresses would be a nice bonus.

Using the search bar, the last time a stick vac for hard floors was brought up was 6 years ago. I need to know what the best cordless stick vac is for hard floors please! I have a full size corded vacuum for my carpet and furniture.

we’ve got mostly hardwood. no rugs except a couple runners. looks great, shows everything. dust, crumbs, pet hair .

It’s like the floor is judging me. sweeping feels endless, dragging out a big vacuum feels like overkill, so I end up… not doing it as often as I should.

which is why I keep circling the same question: Should you invest in a cordless vacuum if you have mostly hardwood floors? is it actually life-changing, or just one of those things people hype because it’s convenient? I’m not trying to min-max cleaning. I just want something I’ll actually use daily instead of avoiding.

curious what people with similar setups ended up preferring — quick grab tools vs full vacuums vs “I just sweep twice a day and accept my fate”.

Money is no object. I just want the best cordless vac for parquet floors. Sq footage is only 1000 sq ft. No carpet, no pets, just lots of dust accumulating daily as it’s an old building. I already bought the Miele Triflex HX2 Pro as I want something that lasts. I had a Dyson V15 that hasn’t even lasted a year and despite monthly maintenance (taking it apart and scrupulously cleaning everything per their instructions), I can proclaim it is a piece of junk. I need cordless as we have a lot of stairs, moldings, and tile work and our previous Miele canister just got wrecked and was super annoying to drag around. I abhor uprights as they hurt my back. My criteria are: Excellent suction, ease of glide across different surfaces, excellent quality, purpose-built for parquet flooring. Also is there a specific attachment I need to get for parquet floors? Thank you to this community for existing and for not judging my love of cordless vacuums.

As title says I'm looking for recommendations on cordless vacuums good for home with roughly 40% hardwood vinyl flooring/tile and 60% carpet (may have a dog in the future as well). I've looking into various Dyson models and the LG A9, can't quite determine which would be best for my situation. Mainly trying to avoid any models that will scratch the flooring and that would run sufficiently for a ~2000 square foot home, budget is <$500. Thanks in advance for any input!

Hi, I recently moved into a 2000 s.f. house with hardwood floors through out. In our last place, we had carpet so this is a new ballpark for me. Does anyone have recommendations for a cordless vacuum. We do have a black lab that at times sheds really bad. I've had my eye on the Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum with Power Fins UZ155. I'm not attached to Shark but also don't want to fork out the money for a Dyson also.

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a stick vacuum cleaner for my condo. We have thin flat carpet in the bedrooms and living room and hard wood floors in the remaining areas.

After some research, I found some good options and I'm considering these:

• Dyson V15 Detect

• Samsung Bespoke Jet

• Shark Detect Pro

• LG CordZero

Which cordless vacuum have you used that you would recommend for hardwood floors? Why do you recommend it and how many years has it lasted before it died?

Looking for something that has the below features:

• battery will last for about 2500 sqft

• can pick up long hair and doesn’t get tangled/have to be cut off

• preferably has a HEPA filter for allergens

• preferably under 350
