Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi,
Looking for best hardwood floor  light vacuum? got rid of my old carpet, need something that wont scratch, what do you recommend.

Thanks

Sebo and Simplicity are over priced for what they deliver. If all you have are hard floors then all you need is a decent canister and a very good rubber wheeled horse hair hard floor brush. The floor brush you can buy at any good vacuum shop to fit a standard 1 1/4 inch button lock wand. After that, find a decent moderately priced canister vacuum with standard button lock wands. You don't need a full featured machine if you are not also vacuuming carpets. Were it my money I would look at the Kenmore Lime Green canister or a Panasonic MC-CG902. Both can be found for under $200, have more than enough suction and if you use a cloth HEPA bag, change it regularly and also change both filters regularly, will last plenty long. Both have soft wheels for hard floors. The motors in the Kenmore, Panasonic and Simplicity are all non-rebuildable motors from China. The Panasonic and Kenmore motors are durable though (both made by Panasonic). The motor in the MC-CG902 in particular is a real gem, right up there with the best from Aerus Lux and Miele. Suction and airflow of the Sebo are a bit lower than these other canisters, and less than that some old 1980s and 1990s machines with old fashioned two stage motors from Lamb Electric, but the Sebo motors tend to be durable, quiet and can be rebuilt when they do wear out. The Panasonic in particular has better attachments than the Germans or Simplicity give you, four full sized attachments made for adult hands, not the kids toys you find in the German vacs and even Simplicity. For the money you save on the Panasonic or Kenmore you can buy a nice telescopic non-electric wand ($35) and a high quality wheeled horse hair floor brush (under $20 if you shop) and be money ahead.
