Does this vacuum tile floors well without the use of the hose tool? As in pick up cheerios, large crumbs from a toddler and fine sand?

I use it to vacuum up cat litter and cat food, and the I use in the kitchen. Don't know about grouting between tiles, don't have any flooring like that. But I think it would work just fine. The main vacuum head is very good about adapting to various floor types.

Yes, I have Samoyed dogs and it picks everything on carpets and floor without use of hose tool!! I love it.

Hi, the suction worked great, but I have to confess, I returned mine due to a structural problem. It's smaller and lighter in weight than the old Dyson it was meant to replace, and truly did a super job picking up fine sandy gravel that was tracked in, I'm certain Cheerios won't be an issue. Also have tiled floors in a couple of rooms and had no issue with suction power.

Yes. You can use it for light floor vacuum jobs with no wipe attached. You can also take off the floor head and put on attachments for cleaning corners, dusting, furniture etc. I even used it on a small flat rug that I have at my entry way and it did a fair job. Of course not as strong as a regular vacuum. But for daily cleaning upkeep, it's very handy and easy to use.

Actually, its better on tile at least as far as debris is concerned. My wife says that she now need s "Scoomba" though, as tile can be swept and clean yet still look "dirty". Does great as a pre-mopper. Several months into it and I just wish my wife would learn to program its auto-clean function.

Some will inevitably get sucked up. It's not super fine sand but it will get stirred if you disturb it. Best way to vacuum would be to use a circling motion so you can pull surface debris upward without pulling too much sand.

I think so! We have hardwood with some area rugs and it's been our sole vacuum for just about a month. We'll likely need to pull out the Electrolux just to vacuum off the bricks on our woodstove hearth, but I really can't fault the Roomba for not getting in the deep mortar joints on our brick work. We were thinking about picking up a small handheld vac (like the Shark 12 volt) to make such brick work and stairs a breeze.

Have not used as a vacuum. Doubt it will pick up heavier pieces easily. Might pick up some mulch with the leaves.

The suction hose works great. After having this vacuum a few months, I'm not as thrilled by it. I think it should be picking up better. Sometimes the dirt basket is full and other times it doesn't pick up much at all. Probably the operator.

I've noticed its fine on carpet or wand-only even w attachments... bur no vacuum on earth seems to have suction in "floor" mode. I have no answer for this! Otherwise I do love this Kenmore and have never found any vac that does well in floor mode

Yes and no.......when I connect the vacuum to a tool I do not see a difference with dust and chips collected but if I connect the wand to clean the floor then I notice decreased suction.

Not really. It can break up set in stains. Great for grout, grills, floors. It does not suck up dirt, it breaks it down. I purchased a Hoover steam vac from amazon, perfect for carpets. I had a bissell. The Hoover out cleans the bissell by a mile.At about 159.00 it is a steal.

Works great. It has a carpet setting and a hard floor setting. The suction is strong enough to clean up those bare floors with ease. Hope this helps!

Sandra, no it doesn't and BTW , I would not recommend this product, the swivel joint on top of this vacuum attachment cracked after only 2-3 cleanings and the worst part, it is filled with sand and it spilled out all over the pool, I would recommend reading other reviews on this to see if others had the same issue .

I've used it on regular carpet to pick up cheez it crumbs from my toddler. It would probly work for daily issues. But would do a really good vacuum once a week with a more heavy duty vacuum.

I haven't used it with a vacuum yet, but with the way the saw is set up, it is almost a necessity. The dust collection bag is worthless. It fills up fast, and if you don't empty it the sawdust dumps right back into the saw (making a mess). I have a flex hose attached, and will be trying out a shop-vac in the near future.

Hoover should upgrade their customer service. Some food particles get into spaces so hard to access that a hose nozzle or broom is the only solution. But for average floor Cheerios, this device is likely to work.

Douglas, it absolutely does. There is a "carpet glide" attachment which snaps on in seconds to take care of carpet and keep the microfiber pad from dragging on the carpet pile. Snap it off to take care of the tile. The footprint of the steamer is about the size of a piece of copy paper, so it maneuvers easily in small areas.

This vacuum does include a crevice tool. There is not a brush per se there is a flat attachment that has two felt like edges to it.
