Vacuum Cleaners Tools

Stick style hardwood floor vacuums are available at a cheaper price, but they lack a number of features that more expensive models possess. Often, they have no attachments and some even lack rollers and focus only on suction. These also do not have any sort of bags inside, usually having a plastic dirt collector that can be removed and then emptied and washed out separately.

However, these can do double duty - cleaning carpet as well and your hardwood flooring, which helps to make up for their expense.

Some even include spot cleaning extensions for quick fixes.
