I just installed a great laminate floor in the kitchen,I am looking for a
small inexpensive vacuum cleaner that has a felt bottom,I am now using a
Swifter ( like a micro fiber type) which works ok,but sometimes just pushes
stuff around,we have a vacuum cleaner,but it has a rotating brush in which I
don't care to use.Something that's light weight,and small,upright,but would
prefer a felt bottom.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

Check your vacuum for a carpet/hard floors switch. Many (most?) have a
setting that allows you to turn off the rotating brush for hard floors.

WalMart is selling a Bissle which is nothing more than a
dust-buster-on-a-stick (although it is wall-power operated, not battery).
It's lighter than an Orek (like 3 pounds).

I bought one last Christmas season (~$20.00) and it works swell for picking
up dust and debris from solid floors.
