it's my assumption that creative types* often have or prefer wood floors.
so, can anyone recommend a good vacuum cleaner with the wood floor option.
(* I used the term "creative types" making this a design related thread. pretty smarrt, huh?)

i haven't found anything better than a dyson. they aren't cheap, though.

i think dyson and miele are the best ones on the market now. i know there are 2 new dysons that just came out as well.

Dyson, no competition what so ever

miele. period.
i am sorry, but if you speak with any repair person the first thing they will tell you is what a piece of shite the Dyson is and how often they get repaired- especially if you have carpet.
now, i know you said hardwood man, so it is less so- but the drive mechanism in the dyson is a joke. oh, and he also got the shit sued out of him for ripping a design off for the motor. just a little piece of trivia to boot. ;)

also, i got this one:

miele without a shadow of a doubt.
worked as door to door vacuum salesman for many years so i know what i'm talking about.

yeah, i just need one for hardwood as well, and have been looking around a lot lately. i have lots of cats and such an obscene amount of dust and hair that something with a bag is absolutely out of the question. i would go thru bags daily. please suggest a bagless miele model that i should consider. their website hurts my eyes. thank you.

I've got hardwood floors with rugs and a german shepherd. getting german shepherd fur out of rugs is a royal pain in the ass... no vacuum could cut it except for this one...

(Apr 11 07, 17:34)i use that at home. the thing is those sweeping clothes got expensive. so i bought another microfiber pad and wraped it in an extra pakshak microfiber towel that is plusher, i had and it dusts like a charm.

my roomba does great maintainance on my hardwood floors!

my roomba also does great. Plus, since hardwood floors get hair boogers (a.k.a. dust bunnies) so often, letting the little thing run around a couple times each week has shaved hours off my house cleaning.
Also, our backroom, which has the doggie door in it so that's where all the leaves gather, has carpet and it does well in there too!

i think i'm liking the roomba!
thanks y'all.
