The 7 Best Laminate Floor Vacuums of 2025

The best vacuum for laminate floors we've tested is the Dyson V15 Detect. This cordless stick vacuum comes with two floorheads, one with a bristled brushroll for better performance on carpets and the other with a fluffy brushroll for improved debris pickup on bare floors and a laser light to help identify fine debris. With its fluffy floorhead, this vacuum delivers remarkable performance on flat surfaces like laminate flooring. In addition, it has a particle detection system that can provide a rough estimate of allergen quantities in your home. There's also an automatic power adjustment system that automatically increases its suction power on carpeted floors.

The battery performance is decent; you can expect an hour of continuous use in its energy-efficient 'Eco' mode. However, the runtime drops drastically in its high-power 'Boost' mode. Unfortunately, the vacuum feels somewhat cheap and plasticky, which is disappointing for something in this price range. While it's far from a heavyweight, you can get a vacuum with a similar range of features in an even smaller and lighter package with the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. Just know it has a less powerful motor than the V15 and a much smaller dustbin, so you'll need to empty it frequently.

If you're looking for something more affordable than the Dyson V15 Detect, the Shark Stratos Cordless is a good choice. While it's heavier and bulkier than the Dyson, it comes with an impressively broad range of features for the price. Like the Dyson vacuum, it has an automatic suction power adjustment feature, with its Clean Sense IQ system increasing its suction power when passing over an area with a large amount of debris. Its twin roller floorhead and relatively potent suction motor also allow it to easily clear away debris on hard surfaces like laminate floors.

This vacuum can run for up to an hour on a single charge, which is fairly good for a cordless vacuum, though it does take quite a while to recharge. The LED at the back of its body shows the remaining battery life. The Shark is on the heavier and bulkier side for a cordless stick model, but its flexible wand makes it much easier to clean under most tables and chairs since you won't have to crouch very deeply when cleaning these areas.

Check out the Tineco PURE ONE S11 if you want a more affordable vacuum to handle debris on laminate surfaces. Compared to the Shark Stratos Cordless, it feels less sturdy and has a lower-capacity battery, resulting in a shorter max runtime of about 40 minutes. That said, it'll still do a fantastic job of handling everything from pet hair to small and large debris on hard surfaces like laminate or vinyl flooring. Like all of our picks so far, it comes equipped with an automatic power adjustment feature; the vacuum will increase its suction power when passing over an area with a large concentration of debris.

Unlike the Stratos, the Tineco has a single roller floorhead with conventional bristles. Thankfully, those bristles are soft, so they won't scratch up more delicate surfaces. Better yet, the brushroll is completely removable, which makes it much easier to clear away any tangled hair compared to the Stratos' non-removable roller.

If you're looking for a way to keep your laminate floors clean at a lower price point, check out the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S. It's a good option for handling fine and medium-sized debris, and its bristles are on the softer side, so they won't scratch hard floors. At this price point, however, you lose out on some quality-of-life features. For example, this vacuum lacks the automatic power adjustment feature seen in our more premium picks. You won't find a fluffy brushroll with this no-frill option either, and it even lacks some accessories that came bundled with its more powerful predecessor, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum, like the 2-in-1 brushroll and wall mount.

On the other hand, its maximum battery life of just under 45 minutes is on par with the pricier Tineco PURE ONE S11. It takes a while to recharge, though, and, like all cordless vacuums, you'll get less runtime as you increase the suction power. You can also replace the battery when runtime starts to wane or if you simply want a spare, which is a nice touch; extra battery packs are available on the Wyze website. This vacuum also features a HEPA-rated filter, a rare addition at this price point, and does a good job of sealing in fine allergens. That said, you'll need to empty its small dustbin often, and it tends to release a cloud of dust when you do. Unfortunately, this vacuum's build quality leaves something to be desired; its body is made of thin plastic and is very easy to scratch. However, its lightweight, portable design means lifting this vacuum over obstacles or carrying it from room to room is easy.

The best vacuum cleaner for laminate floors at a budget-friendly price point that we've tested is the Eureka Mighty Mite. Despite its highly affordable price, this basic bagged canister vacuum has a powerful 12-amp motor. Its straight suction floorhead has bristles you can retract, enabling you to clean low-pile rugs as well as laminate flooring. That being said, the head does sit very close to the ground, so it tends to push around bulkier debris; you'll have better luck lifting the vacuum onto this type of dirt. Its simple design makes it easy to maintain, and the vacuum's lightweight plastic construction makes maneuvering it in tight spaces a breeze.

However, this vacuum doesn't have a telescopic wand. Instead, it uses a pair of tubes that can fall apart easily if you don't push them together very tightly. Some versions of the Mighty Mite lack the requisite mounting points for an aftermarket HEPA filter, which is disappointing if you want to upgrade its filtration performance. It also has a very short power cord, so cleaning hard-to-reach areas can be a hassle compared to using a cordless model like the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S.

If you're looking for a top-tier corded vacuum, check out the SEBO Airbelt D4 Premium. This high-end canister model is the best corded vacuum cleaner for laminate floors we've tested. It provides impressive debris-pickup performance on flat surfaces like laminate flooring when it's fitted with its parquet tool, which features removable front bristles so it can pass over larger debris without plowing it forward. Its 1250W motor is very potent for a household vacuum, allowing it to easily draw up debris from cracks and crevices or suck up heavier material. Beyond that, the D4 is an incredibly robust machine, with a canister body made of dense, high-grade plastic and a heavy-duty stainless steel telescopic wand. It's also incredibly easy to maintain, with its large dirtbag and filters being readily accessible and simple to swap out.

Unfortunately, there is a price to pay for this tank-like build quality: tank-like weight and size. This is one of the heavier, bulkier canister vacuums we've tested. While its four caster-mounted wheels make it surprisingly easy to maneuver in cluttered areas, you might feel its weight if you're dragging it around for hours at a time or repeatedly carrying it up and down long flights of stairs.

This vacuum can be tricky to find through major retailers, but you can purchase it directly from SEBO's website.

The best hybrid mop/vacuum for laminate floors we've tested is the BISSELL CrossWave HydroSteam. Compared to a similarly priced conventional vacuum like the Shark Stratos Cordless, it delivers less power and lags behind in raw debris pickup as a result. However, it's meant to fulfill a different purpose, being a corded hybrid mop/vacuum with detergent-dispersal and steaming functions that allow it to saturate and scrub away dried-on stains with a fluffy brushroll. It can also handle liquid spills, making it ideal for dealing with kitchen-related mishaps. The build quality is decent, though its plastic body can creak and flex when passing over obstacles.

Unfortunately, this is a fairly bulky, heavy appliance, and maneuvering in cluttered areas can be a hassle. Alternatively, you can go for the BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max if you don't want to worry about staying close to a power outlet. That said, it lacks the HydroSteam's steam-dispersal feature and has a less powerful suction motor, resulting in inferior debris-pickup performance.
