To avoid ruining the vacuum, sweep the scattered cat litter before using it around the litter box. The solution has a measuring cup; you can decide when to release it as you vacuum.

It has two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water, as you vacuum, keeping both mixing and making a bigger mess.

I no longer have to mop after vacuuming my floors. This Hoover vacuum eliminates the hassle of dragging out the mop, mop bucket, and cleaning solution after sweeping or vacuuming all the tile flooring. I would only recommend this vacuum to folks with tile or vinyl floors.

Dyson has done it again.

This Dyson V8 Absolute is one of their many innovative vacuums. Its V8 motor helps this well-engineered vacuum suck up dirt that has become ground-in on your hardwood floors and in your carpets. 

The HEPA filter is washable, so you can continue cleaning for a long time. It comes with a soft roller cleaner head to help pick up big debris like cereal. It does have to charge for four hours before you can use it. It works for about forty minutes on one full charge.

There is no cord, and it is lightweight and powerful enough to take on the hardest floors. It also has two cleaning modes: Low and max.

I have used Dyson before and found it one of the easiest vacuum brands to use. The V8 is worth every penny. The extra head is excellent for picking up big pieces of debris.

However, it is best to use it in big spaces, not tiny confining spaces, in the summer because the air blowing out is a bit warm.

It was easy to assemble, and I could easily detach and reattach the floor nozzle to suit my cleaning needs.

Your beautiful hardwood floors enhance your home so much, and you shouldn't worry about stains, cleaning them taking too much time or backaches.

So why do hardwood floors challenge you when it comes to cleaning?

The harsh reality is that most vacuums clean everything besides hardwood floors.

The beater bars that have been around since the carpet went mainstream can even be downright destructive on your hardwood floors. As far as a broom and a dustpan go, who needs the backache of chasing the dust?

Despite the facts, most people fight a losing battle against dust and grime on their hardwood floors because they lack information on vacuums with the features required to save their backs and their peace of mind.

This year, I thought of comparing affordable vacuums that are reputed to work well on hardwood floors.

Like all things in life, no two hardwood floors or homes are the same, but the features on my hardwood floors should also work on yours.

I tried to evaluate these with realistic, real-life situations that most people would face when cleaning their hardwood floors. Each of these machines has different features and costs, and you should evaluate each before deciding.

The analysis my family and I made of these models covered what we believe to be the most critical items in selecting a hardwood floor vacuum cleaner. I also considered price, ease of use, efficiency in cleaning, comparing features, and cost.

Hopefully, this review of these top hardwood floor vacuum cleaners will help you avoid throwing away money on those who fail to do what you need.

The Compact C1 is small enough to store in small spaces yet powerful enough to clean the same as an upright or stick vacuum. While it does use a bag, it is still easy to use. The floor head works well on both carpets and hardwood floors. It is an excellent buy for anyone who finds bagless vacuums lacking suction.

I have always used upright vacuums that did not require a bag but found that they did not trap all the dirt in the canister. I can get all the dirt and dust off my hardwood floors better than the uprights I have used with this bad boy.

I like how the dust cap lifts off, so I do not have to carry the vacuum up the stairs and down again. It sucks up all the pet hair and dandruff that accumulates and eliminates coughing and sneezing in the summer and winter.

However, it is best to use it in big spaces, not tiny confining spaces, in the summer because the air blowing out is a bit warm.

The Hoover ONEPWR is the perfect cordless vacuum to use.

This futuristic unit vacuums and washes the floor simultaneously, so don't use it on your hardwood floor.

It's perfect for tile, but you don't want to wet clean your hardwood floor under any circumstances, as many hardwood floor manufacturers will void their product warranties.

It comes with a tray to store and rinse the vacuum when unused.

To avoid ruining the vacuum, sweep the scattered cat litter before using it around the litter box. The solution has a measuring cup; you can decide when to release it as you vacuum.

It has two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water, as you vacuum, keeping both mixing and making a bigger mess.

I no longer have to mop after vacuuming my floors. This Hoover vacuum eliminates the hassle of dragging out the mop, mop bucket, and cleaning solution after sweeping or vacuuming all the tile flooring. I would only recommend this vacuum to folks with tile or vinyl floors.
