It’s hard to hide dirt on hardwood floors, you’ll feel it underfoot and you’ll see it faster than carpet. When you notice it, you probably want to get rid of it right now. These vacuums can help you clean hardwood floors. After all, these models don’t need to be attached to the wall, so you can move them wherever they are needed – no wires attached. It goes without saying that these will not do well on carpets, but some of their properties are good for hardwoods.
Shark Rocket Pet Pro
The best cordless vacuum for hardwood

-
Easily grabs pet hair on different floors
-
The technique under furniture is simple

Removable battery
You can’t go wrong with shark cleaning products and Rocket Pet Pro doesn’t disappoint. This cordless stick vacuum is quite powerful and can easily lift pet hair. Its slim design makes it easy to move around and it also moves quite quickly under furniture.
The Shark Rocket Pet Pro has a built-in HEPA filter to help with dust and floor allergens. You may notice that this version shares the same name as the Rocket Pro, but the difference is that it comes with pet hair support which can be a godsend for any pet owner.
At 40 minutes, this vacuum has a slightly shorter battery life than the more premium options on our list. It can run as fast as many vacuums.

Long recharge time
Dyson is a well-known head of the home cleaning game, with multiple versions of its vacuum and power mops. The Dyson V15 Detect is an excellent choice for dust removal because its built-in LED laser will highlight almost all the invisible (to the naked eye) dust on your floor.
There is also a screen at the top of the dust bin that will show you the amount of dust and debris collected and the remaining battery time for vacuum. Use any one of the multiple attachments available to help with certain types of debris, such as different floor surfaces or hair.

Miele Triflex HX1
Best for a flexible design
Professional
-
3 physical modes for different areas
-
Pets grab hair easily
-
Long battery life
Cons
-
Slightly expensive
-
Lack of accessories
If you’re looking for something a little lower than the Dyson, the Miele Triflex HX1 is worth a look. Triflex offers three physical modes to better meet your cleaning needs. At the top of the handle is a full stand mode with a bin, a half stand where the bin is near the suction head and a handheld mode which is basically just a bin and precision hose.
Another draw of Miele’s Triflex HX1 is its multi-layered filtration system. The system helps keep dust, allergens and debris inside your vacuum after cleaning your floor. Filters are washable, so you don’t have to constantly worry about buying new ones.
Unfortunately, the Triflex is expensive, and its dustbin isn’t as big as some of its competitors, but it’s still a powerful vacuum with a lot of flexibility.
