In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Sometimes, finding a vacuum that works for your hardwood floors is tricky. If you also need one that picks up pet hair, it gets a little more complicated. Thankfully, we’ve done our research to bring you the best vacuums for both pet hair and hardwood floor messes. We’re sure you’ll find a vacuum cleaner that will work for you on our list. Here are some things you should know before we get started.
Type: Our list hosts a few different vacuum types, from your standard upright vacuums to compact stick vacuums. Canister vacuums with huge, rolling dirt containers are feature here, as well as robotic vacuum cleaners (like the Roomba).
Bagless: Bagless vacuum cleaners usually have a dirt container or cup, and you never have to worry about a bag being full or replacing it every few sessions. We’ll let you know if it’s bagless here.
Power: Vacuums can come in either corded or cordless varieties, and it’s up to you - choose the style you prefer. Cordless is less hassle, but you have to charge the vacuum between uses for best results.
Pieces: How many pieces come with the vacuum? This includes charging stations and accessories. It’s important to know what you’re buying so you can make an informed decision about which vacuum you will prefer to buy.
Weight: How much does the vacuum weigh? This is important if you’re going to be taking it up and down the stairs often, or if you have restrictions on how much you can push and pull.
Warranty: A warranty means a company stands behind their product. If it breaks during normal use within the time frame, you can get a replacement or a refund at no additional cost and with no hassle.
Now that you have all of that information under your belt, it’s time to get to the vacuums. Through our research, we’ve found the best vacuums for pet hair and hardwood floors on the market right now. Our top pick and budget pick are our favorites, so check them out first before moving through the rest of the list. Your floors will thank you for using these amazing vacuum cleaners!
