What Type Of Vacuum Is Best When You Have Hardwood & Carpeting?
Does your home have both hardwoods and carpeting or area rugs? It may be tempting to just run your vacuum over your wood floors to pick up debris while you clean your rugs, but that may be a terrible idea!
The rolling brushes on your typical vacuum could cause damage to your nice wood floors. It’s important to make sure that your vacuum is safe to use on both surfaces. We’ve compiled a list of vacuums that can get both jobs done in one shot:
Cleaning on a Budget
Our pick: Eureka PowerSpeed Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
This lightweight vacuum is a great choice for a homeowner on a budget.

Cordless
Our pick: Hoover Linx Signature Stick Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
If you don’t like searching for a free outlet only to get tangled in the cord while you vacuum, a cordless one might be a great option for you.
This one’s low-profile design allows you to reach under hard-to-clean furniture, and interchangeable batteries mean you never have to search for an outlet again!
