I buy a vacuum based on the amperage (get highest - most power) and the
cost of bags [filters].

Some bags and filters for bagless vacuums can cost a fortune, so check the
cost of these before buying...

Some bags for bagless vacuums can cost a fortune? Lost me, buddy...

I've recently moved house into a place with hard timber floors. It's a
big difference from my previous sprawling shag-pile covered place which
had compelled me to splash out on a new Dyson.

Problem is, in the new environment, I just don't need it. It was a
fantastic
cleaner and picks up so much dirt and dust (and carpet fluff!), but it
scuffs my new floors when I'm not careful and seems like overkill given
the task at hand. Accordingly, I'm planning on giving it to my mother
(it'll
stop her from coming round to borrow it once a month) and downgrading to
something more suited to the task at hand.

Can anyone recommend a decent mid-range vacuum cleaner? Only provisos are
that it should be bagless (I'm a convert) and have decent performance on
& not scuff, hard timber floors. All suggestions appreciated.
