What is the best vacuum cleaner for hardwood floors?

The Miele S4 Sirius has a great floor brush which is made for wood floors and it does a great job cleaning up. The parquet floorbrush is specially designed for hard surfaces as it features delicate bristles for a thorough yet gentle clean. It has a 90° rotation and is exceptionally agile at cleaning around obstacles such as table legs etc. It also has huge holes on the bottom so it does not pus the dirt, it sucks it up. The vacuum itself has the new Vortex Motor which is super powerful but the machine itself is super quiet even on its highest setting. Miele makes wonderful products that are made to last 20 to 25 years and they come with a 7 year motor warranty and 1 year all parts and labor. I got my Miele from Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew because they always have their Miele vacuums on phone special (like 70 dollars or so) and they are a wonderful company to deal with. I got my machine (The Miele Callisto) $100 off with free shipping and no tax.  more
