Hard Flooring - Top 5

No matter what style of vacuum you choose for hard flooring you should always choose a model with rubber wheels. The rubber wheels will help eliminate damage on sensitive surfaces.  The sound is also an over looked factor for rubber wheels.  They will perform much quieter on hard surfaces and you eliminate the possibility of scratching the flooring.  Hard flooring uprights should also have the ability to turn off the spinning brush roll and/or have softer bristles on the brush roll.  In the event you use your vacuum on a hard surface with the brush roll active, you do not want rugged and stiff bristles damaging the surface.
