I already have a more heavy-duty vacuum cleaner that I use on my carpeted floors. But I was interested in having a smaller vacuum for quick cleanups on my laminate floors. I received the dirt devil vibe three in one corded bagless stick vacuum and was so excited to see if this would be exactly what I needed. I was a little worried at first that it might scratch my laminate floors so I tested it on a small area and it did not scratch my floors at all and still had a powerful pickup. I have a toddler that usually always makes a mess at dinner time and this vacuum makes cleaning up his dinner time messes a breeze. I would definitely recommend this vacuum for those times when you need a quick clean up.
