Hoover - ONEPWR Evolve Pet Elite Cordless Vacuum

I have laminate flooring all over the house with just some area rugs and got the Hoover evolve pet elite. Works great for my needs. Have only had it a year so idk how long it will last. I’ve had no problems with it though.

A lot of traditional vacuums are removing manual controls and options and it's even harder to find cordless vacuums that give you the option of operating with the brush roll off. Take a look at the hoover onepwr evolve.  Those units are able to stand independently unlike stick vacuums and the last model had the option to run without the rollerbrush.  Since Hoover frequently tweaks and redesigns model versions, I would make sure that you find a confirmation of the possible brush roll operations for the versions available currently. Also have some realistic expectations for what you can achieve with a cordless vacuum over a rug with the brush roll off.  It might move fine surface dust, but will do very little for hair and larger/ embedded debris on rugs.  With a parquet brush or kombi attached to a powerful canister, you will at least agitate and remove the dirt and hair with a greater suction power.  

I had a Dyson "stick" type vacuum. It didn't last nearly as long as the price tag suggested it should. The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it. I replaced it with a **Hoover ONE PWR** at half the price of the Dyson. I've had it longer than I had the Dyson and it's still working great. It comes with 2 batteries so one lives on the charger, the other on the vacuum. Means I've always got a full charge. The Dyson battery was internal so you can't swap out a battery if it dies on you. I would avoid anything that's not a brand name. Before the Dyson there was a generic Amazon no-name special vacuum that I used once, packed it back up in the box, and sent it back. Absolute junk. Bad suction. Just bad all around. Some of them may be fine but I don't trust the Amazon reviews on the no-name ones. They have a "Fieety" brand stick vacuum for $159 with nearly 1000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars. Is it good? You'd think so. But I still wouldn't take a chance on it. Ironically, the vacuum I bought and have had nothing but good luck with has a very low rating on Amazon (only 3 reviews though), but it doesn't matter as it's no longer available since it's such an old model.

I have a Hoover OnePwr and it’s really effective with dog hair on my carpets. I also love that it has a bag and no wires

I do have the Hoover onepwr as my downstairs choice for area rugs and such I like it alot
