We recently had laminate and tile flooring put down in our house, taking carpet up in all but the bedrooms.  My big vacuum has a hard floor setting, but I knew I would like something lightweight to use on the new floors.  While searching the internet I came upon the Quick Up Cordless.  After reading the reviews I decided to order it.  The bonus battery pack was definitely a selling point.  I can vacuum the entire hard floor areas on one charge though.  It is a little messy cleaning the container out, so I do that outside.  It's amazing how much the little thing picks up.  I normally use it with the brush roll off, but have turned that feature on at times.  It's delicate enough to use on the laminate without scratching it like a regular vacuum would do.  It's wonderful not having to plug and unplug a cord from room to room.  Please note that this little vacuum cannot be expected to vacuum carpet like a regular one.  It's not intended for that use.  It will pick up off of carpet of course, but not deep clean carpet like a regular vacuum.  I use my Quick Up everyday on my tile and laminate and love it!
