Best Vacuum For Tile Floor

The Shark IONFlex DuoClean IF201 is one of the most powerful Shark stick vacuum cleaners that has quickly become the go-to product for most homeowners thanks to a unique brush roll that’s one of the most effective solutions yet for tackling tile floors.

The lightweight and rechargeable nature of this Shark vacuum means that cleaning just about any surface is a breeze, but what’s really impressive is the model’s soft brush roll that can pick up debris on tile flooring without flinging large debris around. While the cordless design may frustrate some with larger homes, the included attachments make it easy to access tile, wherever it’s at—not to mention carpets, bare floors, above-ground surfaces, and more. Outperforming even flagship products like the Dyson V8 in suction and features, the IONFlex DuoClean is truly a top competitor.

The Dyson V8 Absolute has a reputation in the home appliance community for style over function, but generally speaking, Dyson delivers its promised power in this cordless stick vacuum. Dyson’s signature cyclonic suction is powerful and effective on carpets with their standard brush roll, but it is the soft brush roll that stands out for cleaning tile. Plus, the Dyson V8 weighs under six pounds, making it easy to lift it up several flights of stairs without stress.

Handheld mode is another helpful feature, but without a hose, it will force homeowners to stoop down to clean corners and tight spaces on floor tile. Likewise, the bin is especially small given the suction power of the vacuum, and the battery doesn’t last nearly as long as it is stated to when operating the soft brush roll. Still, we think the Dyson V8 Absolute is a worthy competitor to the Shark IONFlex DuoClean. If you’re looking for a streamlined cordless stick vacuum cleaner with a focus on lightweight operation and ease of use, this is the product for you.

The Bissell PowerEdge 81L2A seems to be Bissell’s answer to calls for a more affordable stick vacuum cleaner. While Dyson and Shark continue to compete for the best all-around cordless stick, this Bissell product aims for bare floors and succeeds. Featuring no attachments, no brush roll, and no adjustability on the floor head, it’s clear that bare floor cleaning is where the buck stops with the Bissell PowerEdge.

This intentional specialization, however, allowed Bissell to focus on suction and a unique floor head. The V-shaped floor nozzle amplifies the already-powerful suction built into the machine by funnelling debris into the center suction hole and towards the bin. Due to the shape, cleaning corners and around table legs is easier than ever, and the included brushes at the end of the nozzle do a fair job of agitating grout debris. Overall, the PowerEdge pet, as the name implies, has more than enough suction to care for dandruff and pet hair alongside the usual debris on tile flooring. Just be sure you have a second vacuum on hand to tackle any carpeting you may have.

We’re continuing our trend of cordless stick vacuum cleaners with the Hoover Linx. While the majority of Hoover’s products focus on carpeted cleaning, this lightweight, and easy-to-use stick vacuum cleaner is all about tile. Built-in WindTunnel technology allows the Hoover Linx to ensure a proper seal with the ground to make pulling debris out of tile easy. Since the brush roll can be turned off, carpets and tile can both be cleaned with relative ease.

However, much like with the Bissell PowerEdge, it may be best if you use this product exclusively for your tile flooring. Likewise, high-traffic areas or homes with pets may cause the brush roll and associated assembly to clog on occasion. Still, the Hoover WindTunnel is great for smaller homes and apartments with a mix of flooring types.

Most people double-take when they’re first acquainted with the price of Bissell’s ZING canister vacuum cleaner. In some households, a night out to dinner is more expensive than what this product will cost you at checkout.

The Bissell Zing 4122 vacuum is more than just affordable. The built-in variable suction control aids in cleaning multiple surface types, like curtains. To see this feature on a vacuum at this price point is almost unbelievable. The host of attachments included do feel cheap, but nevertheless work effectively to clean up after the less-than-perfect floor nozzle. It may take a few passes to pick up all of the debris hidden in the grout work of your tile flooring, but if cost is a number one consideration, they don’t make them cheaper than this.
