Is the Simplicity Allergy good for hardwood floors?

Yes. It is designed for hard floors and low-pile carpet, and its suction picks up fine dust and debris well on bare surfaces.

Yes. It is a bagged vacuum with a sealed HEPA bag, so dust stays contained when you empty it.

It weighs about 18 lb, which is heavy for an upright. Expect it to be tiring on stairs and in tight rooms.

How long is the cord?

The cord is 30 ft, shorter than many rivals, so you will need to switch outlets in larger rooms.

It handles pet hair on hard floors and low-pile carpet well, but the brushroll and bags need regular attention with heavy shedding.

It is not the best choice for deep pile. It is tuned for hard floors and low-pile carpet, where it performs best.
