Hardwood Floor Care/Vacuum Recommendation

2 years ago

We will be moving into a new home with White Oak flooring and I'm looking for recommendations on vacuums that are safe for hardwood floors.


I currently own a Riccar SupraLite Premium Lightweight Vacuum and it does have two settings; one for carpet and one for hardwood, but I'm not confident the setting for hardwood is truly safe. When switching to hardwood mode, the brush itself does not retract, but simply slows down. Because of this, I'm concerned that the floors may still get scratched. We are currently in a rental home where the flooring is already scuffed, so there is no real way for me to test out the vacuum.


I'm wondering what vacuum others use to clean their hardwood flooring and if anyone else may have experience with this specific vacuum.


I will also note that I have called my local vacuum dealership in regard to this vacuum and all they can tell me is that it is deemed safe for all types of flooring, according to the Riccar company.


Thanks for any input you may have!


Michelle
