I want to get started on the right foot, so I want to start out with some of the vacuums I think will be best suited for your new hardwood floors (after all, if you’ve had these floors for quite some time you probably wouldn’t be reading this site ):

The Eureka 96D is a great hardwood vacuum from the reviews we’ve read on the subject. It’s an upright vacuum, so there’s no crawling around on the floor or lugging it around on your back. This is pretty common though for floor cleaning with household vacuums so that shouldn’t be any surprise. What people really love about this Eureka is that it’s very lightweight; it weighs in at less than five pounds so you don’t need to be worrying about hurting your back or having trouble making tight turns around in your kitchen or dining room. That’s probably one of the biggest concerns, so you know you’re covered there.

The other great thing about the 96D is that it’s more or less a rotating brush design. The motorized brushes at the bottom of the vacuum lift dirt and sediment up off the floor and move it into the vacuum itself. When it’s time to clean out the bag, you just toss out the old one and put in a new one. Simple as that. The only real downside to this vacuum is that it’s not a “wet/dry” system. Many hardwood floor vacuums have a wet mode that allow you to really scrub deep down before you sweep away the dirt. However, for $36 this isn’t such a bad deal. Before you get started you can usually just mop your floors to get the dirt up, let it dry, then use this Eureka vacuum. Either way, it’s still a solid buy.
