Vacuum Cleaner for Laminate Flooring.?

We recently replaced our carpet with Laminate Flooring. Now, I am looking for an appropriate Vacuum Cleaner? If you know of a good vacuum cleaner which works good on Laminate flooring and does not damage the floor, please let me know.Thanks for your time.

Answer:

Forget the vacuum cleaner - it will eventually scratch your floor to bits. Secure a dampened wascloth to your broom instead (by means of a hair bobble or rubber band) sweep over the floor and collect all the dust and hair without blowing it everywhere. I found this to be a much easier method and more thorough too. Try it.
Most vacuum cleaners let you adjust the carpet pile setting - if you crank it down to the minimum it'll work just fine on laminate flooring.
No upright vac using a rotating brush should be used on laminate flooring. You should check out a small, vacuum only, tank model that will come with a hose and floor brush with bristles to pick up the dirt. Try to find one with horsehair bristles on the floor brush, they last longer and won't ever scratch anything. Eureka makes several models as well as Hoover, in the avg. priced market. Filter Queen and Electrolux make better quality models in the higher price range.
