I have no carpet in the house and have never had an upright vacuum that works on bare floors. Of course, it doesn't hold a charge long enough to do the whole downstairs, but that's ok. I plug it back in and mop or do something else, then get the VAC out again. Plus in this house, we have nothing that moves the air and traps dust in a filter. No AC and we have radiant heat and a pellet stove. So the dust just settles. And sweeping just moves a lot of dust to another spot.
Funny too, no matter how clean your floor looks, that swiffer cloth behind the VAC still picks up *a lot!* I'm thinking of getting another one for upstairs!
