You can get it at Bed Bath and Beyond using the 20% off coupon. It's fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803582 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:55:27 +0000 Caly 803582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a Dyson multi surface vacuum on our hardwood floors &amp; it works great. We have a dog &amp; it gets the hair up well...pretty sure the model we have is the DC40MF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803483 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:33:22 +0000 Cole 803483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: It is definitely bulky, I don't vacuum daily thigh so it is less of an issue :-).</p> <p>What about trying an old school vacuum store? I was shocked that we had one and they had tons of choices and competitive pricing. The kicker is they were super knowledgeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803471 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:30:17 +0000 shopaholic 803471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: That reminds me of the kind my parents had when I was kid! Sounds great, but kind of too big and bulky for me to drag all around every day? I might look into for our "heavy duty" vac" though! Thanks!</p> <p>@Navy_Mommy: Which model? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803455 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:24:56 +0000 Navy_Mommy 803455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shark! Their hard floor attachment has a reusable swiffer type thing so it picks up EVERYTHING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803449 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:22:28 +0000 Cole 803449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same types of flooring as you and have this vacuum: <a href="http://www.google.com/shopping/product/11310708537587289868?q=hoover%20canister%20vacuum&#038;client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us&#038;hl=en&#038;v=134000000&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=Ek-eUZ3tOMXh4APS1IDQDA&#038;ved=0CHYQ8wIwAQ#hsec:overview" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/shopping/product/11310708537587289868?q=hoover%20canister%20vacuum&#038;client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us&#038;hl=en&#038;v=134000000&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=Ek-eUZ3tOMXh4APS1IDQDA&#038;ved=0CHYQ8wIwAQ#hsec:overview</a></p> <p>I like that I don't need to use the beater brush (the bit that spins) on the hardwood. Usually I run just the hose over the parts that are extra hairy and then vacuum the rest of the room as normal. </p> <p>My only complaints are that it has a compartment for the two small hose attachments but the other attachments don't have a home and it doesn't roll over its own cord well so you have to yank on it. Other than those two little things it's great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803390 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:07:48 +0000 Ash 803390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awe, I was gonna recommend Electrolux. Hopefully someone has a better recommendation. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vacuum-for-hardwood-floors#post-803384 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:05:14 +0000 shopaholic 803384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The post-partum hair loss is NO JOKE y'all! I'm thinking I should just guy a Flowby so I can vacuum suck all the loose hair directly into the machine so I can spare myself some work!</p> <p>NEED a new vacuum! We have ALL hardwood (and tiled bathrooms) and the traditional vacuums suck because they often spit half the stuff it sucks right back out on hardwood and tile! I've gone through 2 Roombas and 2 Electrolux Cordless Vacs. I LOVED both while they were working, but I think they just couldn't handle all my hair (and now with the post partum! eek!) I've been using DH's super-old Eureka Vacuum "Broom". Just like the cordless vac, but with a cord, and no spinning thing on the bottom. I think that is the key - no spinning thing! But the canister is teeny tiny and I hate having to plug/un-plug from room to room to vacuum. Ideally, I vacuum every day since we have so much dust and hair. </p> <p>Anyone with a good recommendation for a cordless or better stick vacuum? If no, I think I'll be going to get another ElectroLux. :/ </p>
