Once again! It’s been since the sixth time this morning that your young one has spill their porridge on your newly laminated floor. The last option you’d be thinking of would be throwing away that dirty dust pan which can’t clean the spilled food, and you will have to clean the floor again, yourself.
Well we won’t be leaving you alone in such difficult times. So how can you clean up your room in no time. Well most obviously vacuum cleaners should serve the purpose well. Today we’ll roam about the market and see what’s the best vacuum cleaner for you.
Look for These Before You Buy One Vaccum Cleaner for Laminated Floors
By now, you must have been challenged that how can you keep your laminated floor clean. Although vacuum cleaners would look like a perfect solution but DO NOT purchase one before you check for the following things in it.
- Preferably cordless:
A vacuum cleaner should preferably be cordless. Although corded would work similarly but cordless would save you from the tension of cord length, cleaning up roofs and ceilings and a broken cord, of course. Secondly, cordless machines can be used anywhere, anytime and require no electric inputs (except for charging).
- Lightweight
A Vacuum cleaner is perfect as long as it is lightweight. For that most people would go with bag less cleaners. But is it really the right option to go with? Let’s look at the usefulness of this option below.
- HEPA Filter
Possibly, you would be allergic from polluted or dusty air. Therefore, many “A Grade” Vacuum Cleaners would contain a HEPA Filter. HEPA, which actually stands for high efficiency particulate air. Such a filter would be responsible to clean the air and eliminate the dust so the “allergics” are also safe with it.
Let’s come to the actual topic. The best lightweight vacuum cleaners.
1. Dirt Devil Power Air Corded Bagless Stick Vacuum Cleaner for Laminated Floors (Editor’s Choice)
Features
- Bagless/Bag: Bagless
- Cordless/Corded: Corded
- Cord length: 20 Foot
- Weight: Less than 7 pounds
- Motor Power: 10 Ampere

- Warranty description: 2 year limited warranty
Now why did the Dirt Devil’s vacuum cleaner qualified to be on the top of the list? Not because they paid me to put theirs up here. The vacuum cleaner itself has such amazing features which you have already given a look… The constant suction power developed by the powerful 10 ampere is enough to such away anything and everything which comes in the way of a neat laminated floor. Although bagless, but you can purchase a HEPA filter anyways. Amazon is offering a great deal on this cleaner along with the HEPA filters. Check it out at amazon.com.
Why this if it is Bagless?
Bagless vacuum cleaners have other pros in general. For example they are cheaper than many others. Dirt Devil isn’t costy also. Not only they are ceap but the cleaner canister is also more visible rather than the large bag. You can easily check for a small, valuable item if the cleaner has “ate” it or not! Small canister might mean less storage space but then again it is lightweight just because of being bagless. Of course being bagless isn’t just the one and only pro of it. Let’s discuss other pros and also cons of this vacuum cleaner.
- Single cyclonic air system, develops more suction power
- High power 10 ampere, strong motor, cuts through dirt
- Weighs even less than 7 pounds, easy to carry
- Easy to dump the dust, simple bottom touch mechanism
- More area of cleaning path, clears more in less time

Again a bagless vacuum cleaner, but why top three are bagless? The sole reason of bagless vacuum cleaners being the best ones is that bagless vacuum cleaners are lightweight and cheaper than bag cleaners. Coming over to Hover UH70400, it has a three in one combination tool which guarantees cleanliness and purification. You just cannot ignore this cleaner because it creates a “wind tunnel” i.e. high pressure inside the cleaner which will literally suck the hell out of dust, debris and all that.

The extendable and flexible hose will allow you to clean the fans easily and other places where man hand is difficult to reach. The powerful, rechargeable battery develops high power suction and runs uninterrupted for approximately 3-4 hours. What about the HEPA Filter? Well the good news for allergics and non-allergics is that it has a removable HEPA Filter. Wait, who would like to remove that?

Now just check the convenience they are providing to their customers, washable and thus reusable filters. These amazing dust cup filters are able to pick up small particles of dust to provide 100% guaranteed cleanliness. If you are even not satisfied then do note that there are some post motor filters also placed! Not even a grain would be left undetected by this vacuum cleaner. The air flow regulator will create a constant pressure of air which is missing in most vacuums. Added benefit, you also get to have a crevice tool and a dusting brush with it, by which you can easily clean carpets and mats.

A corded vacuum cleaner with bag, and a HEPA Filter too! This vacuum cleaner is 9th on our list and the first line of this paragraph explains the reason well.

However, being one of the best for laminated floors and an incredible space saving design it qualified to be in the list. The machine has a two way folding handle; handles being the most lengthy part of a vacuum cleaner take up a lot of space but BISSELL introduced this cool idea of two way folding of the handle which saves a lot of space.

Conclusion: Choosing Best Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner
All ten products finally finished. We all know that nothing in this world is 100% perfect and so is the case with our vacuum cleaners. None of them is 10/10 but all have some relative cons, for example, if a vacuum cleaner cannot clean pet hair then that is only a con for those who have pets. Moreover, one diversity you would have observed here is the feature of being bag or bagless, cordless or corded. These are some important features and you must chose carefully between these features while looking for a vacuum cleaner. Bagless or bag would mean indifference of weight while cordless/corded would mean that you would have to lose your freedom of roaming about while cleaning the room. Therefore, select your cleaner carefully. Only you know what suits you the best and you should choose accordingly.
