"Daily driver" vacuum 
Greetings!
I can only rate what I have real-world experience with, but I feel like some form of Electrolux/Aerus canister would meet a good chunk of your requirements. The type that I have, the Epic 6500SR, isn't super quiet, although I've personally never felt that it was obnoxiously loud. It's a plastic body, so it's fairly lightweight to carry up and down stairs. At the same time, I don't know how rugged it would be, if you plan on letting a young 'un use it. Some kids are responsible enough to treat things with care though. Unless you weren't being literal, and you just meant that you want something simple enough to use that a child "could" use it. I have other vacuums, but my Electrolux is my go-to when I'm just looking to go right through the house and get the job done. Plus, at least around here, you seem to be able to find decent used ones for not a ton of money. Good luck, and please keep us posted on what you decide to go with, and how you like it! Barry | ||

I would recommend a simple, basic Miele C1 straight suction canister. They are lightweight, quiet and simple to use. They also have excellent filtration and really easy-to-change bags. Though usually not included in the C1 package, I’d add Miele’s Parquet Twister floor brush - maybe even the extra wide version - to help make vacuuming all those floors a breeze. Keep an eye out for Miele special packages that already include the Parquet Twister in the box - these are very good value promotional packages that would be good for an “all bare floor” homeowner like you.

Hoover Futura Hi! I found an ad in the Facebook marketplace for a Hoover Futura canister vacuum for $25. What do you think?

my suggestion I would suggest checking out the Riccar Prima or Simplicity Wonder, both are the same machine, just different color, made by Tacony Corperation. There is a straight suction model and a few different power nozzle models, depending on whether you need to clean carpet or not. These also include a really good hard floor tool that uses a brush and mop pad. Mike | ||
