Is this good for tile? On top of using it for dog hair, how it is for picking up sand?

It did not work well for me. Because of it's "V" shape, it cannot get close enough to cabinets or corners to pick up anything. Took mine out to the garbage. Was not even worth donating!

This is good for tile and hard surfaces. Mine doesn't work for cat litter that is a similar consistency to sand. I have to sweep that up separately.

I felt like it pushed everything around more than it picked it up. And it is ridiculously loud!

We do not deal with sand in our part of the country, so I have no personal experience attempting to use this tool for that type of cleaning. Given what I know of its power and capabilities, its construction, I would think that sand would do harm to the machine in a very short amount of time. I would not recommend it for such grit and grime.

I really like using it for tile in my kitchen and bathroom before i was the floors, i don't know about sand but it seems to pick up things like sugar and flour pretty well.

Hi there, I have tile & grout floors that I use my PowerEdge on, and it picks up everything! The suction on this lightweight vacuum is awesome ... dare I say even better than the pricier one (we all know which I'm referign too!). :) I would recommend it for any hard floors!

I think so. It does better on rugs than hardwood or tile. I have swept sand up no problem.

It works best on carpet. On tile or wood floors, not as effective. It tends to push trash around instead of picking them up.

I have ceramic tiles, vinyl tiles and carpet. I should say it does a pretty good job on all area. However one pass is only a gimmick, something it take 2-3 pass to pick up everything you see on the floor. And from times to times the roller brush hit on some harder stuff, like a small piece of sand or rock, which will fly backward. But, generally I do like it's quite, light weight and auto cord retract function.

This vacuum is perfect for that. It is a true joy to use on my tile floors and drow rugs. Also easier to get under furniture or beds. Definitely worth it. I have bought a less expensive ones in the past, but they blow the dirt around, and the tiny containers are hard to open then the dirt falls out ,this is a great price and you definitely get a better quality vacuum.

My opinion? Picking up hair from hard surfaces is no problem but it's not really designed to do that well with hair in any medium to thick pile rug.

In my home all I have is hard surfaces for my floors because I have at this time 2 dogs and 2 long hair cats. When I moved in here I took out all carpets - this is a desert location and well difficult to keep floors clean all that to say, I have wood, tile and laminate flooring throughout my home. I needed a vacuum that would do a major clean up on cat hair and cat litter plus all the miscellaneous 'stuff' that comes in from the gardens on all the paws. I needed a vacuum that could be used with and without the brush because the tile needs the brushing element to get litter out of the grout between the individual tiles...this vacuum does it ALL my tiles and my wood/laminate without brushes that can destroy the wood/laminate finishes. I keep the recharger and vacuum in my office also where the litter boxes reside and any mess is quickly cared for with so little effort. Since my cats are a breed known as Ragdolls and quite large in size I do have cat hair to content with along with litter....not a problem for this vacuum. You just pop off the canister on the front and I do this at my outside garbage area and shake out the canister - the filter comes out easily and I clean it with a very soft tooth brush...takes so little time and I've my vacuum back on its stand recharging in readiness for the next use. I have talked on at length, however in my defense I am 80 years old and when I feel I have something worth talking about, I do. Hope this answers your question.

I like it much better. I think it does a better job cleaning the floor including picking up dog hair. I used to change the Swiffer pad several times while dust mopping, with Big Wooly can do all my wood floors before shaking it. I can do the job quicker and better.

Yes it is god for tile. It is great for any non-carpeted surface. If you have pets, you need one of these.

I bought it specifically for tile, wood, animal hair and cat litter. Works great on all of these. I empty the filter area frequently and use the attachment as well, for best results. We use our vacuum about 3-4x a week, love it.

I have a combo of w/w carpet, hardwood floors, and tile. I use the floor brush attachment for the hardwood floors and tile. It works great! I also have the dog hair issue; not a problem.

It has great suction. Its designed so that it doesn't clog with hair/fur. I don't see why it wouldn't work on hardwood/tile floors.

I don't have hard wood floors but I do have ceramic tile floors and on the lowest setting it works fairly well, not as good as sweeping but it does pick up the dust balls and dirt. The corners are an issue so I will use the crevice tool. The only thing I might be concerned about using this on hard wood floors or vinyl tiles would be the brush might be too rough for it but I do not know for certain.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

It has great suction and picks up all the dirt piles in our garage and in the cars. There's an internal dust filter that easily pops out and is easily cleaned (even washed). The end of the hose connection is approx 1" in diameter and then there is attachments that you can use. I'm not too familiar with working around horses to how the attachments would contour to the horse body to suck up the dirt is your call. I haven't used the wider floor attachments too much (approx 12" in length) but they have brush edges that would help. There is the small dust brush attachment that is approx 3" in diameter that could work well. I hope this gives you some insight and info to make a good decision. The unit also mounts very easily to the wall and will keep the hose up off the ground and from underfoot at you mentioned.

it will handle the floor as long as the height difference isn't more than 4-5mm. more than that and the squeegee won't suck up the water. As far as dog hair goes I have 2 dogs and the Scooba doesn't seem to have a problem with there hair. We also run our Roomba everyday which helps with the hair.
