My Laminate experience
 

No bounce or wiggle or bobbing here. Dirt does not show appreciably. I
mop it up with Bruce laminate cleaner once a month, and I use a
Swiffer once a month. Takes no time for 5 rooms.
No dents in mine after 2 years, the usual water spills have caused
zero problems; if a water ring is left behind, I use a lightly
moistened paper towel and it's gone.
Mine is Pergo on moisture barrier on concrete. Installed by Lowe's
contracted personnel.
hth in response to questions which were posted yesterday.
