{"slug":"best-cordless-vacuum-for-hardwood","title":"Best cordless vacuum for hardwood?","question":"What is the best cordless vacuum for hardwood?","verdict":"As of 2026-07-01, ChatGPT is the only model that has answered this so far, and it ranks Dyson Gen5detect #1 for cordless vacuum for hardwood on ModelsAgree. The model's case: Fluffy Optic head reveals fine dust on hardwood, excellent bare-floor pickup, strong auto suction, long runtime, HEPA filtration. The model's main caveat: Add a self-emptying dock. The strongest alternative is Shark PowerDetect — Strong hard-floor debris pickup, DuoClean dual brushroll, dirt/floor/edge detection, self-emptying dock, better value than Dyson.
