How does this machine work on tile. My old Hoover seems to do very well, but is wearing out after 5 years.

I love my machine. I have used it on tile, but because of the brushes it did not have a good seal for suction. No big deal. It does a great job scrubbing. You will just have to run a mop lightly across it at the end to get the little bit of water that is left. I highly recommend it.

I have owned this vacuum for about 6 mos now. It works well on my tile but not well at all on carpet. It's very hard to push and won't even pick up visible lint without going over it several times. I would only recommend buying this if you have very little carpet. I don't feel like it gets my carpet clean.

The others are correct in the way it works. I have had a self propelled upright Hoover for almost 30 years. The self propelling feature still works. I need to replace it as it's getting a little creaky and it's getting too heavy for me to carry up the stairs.

Do you mean, will this work in place of a mop? That's how I use it. For day to day cleaning, we use swiffer wet on our tile floor. I'll use the Hoover for a more thorough cleaning every 3 to 4 weeks.

It works fantastic on tile or laminate. So well that when I steam mop there is very little dirt on the mop head. Very powerful suction. I have 7 indoor/outdoor animals so this machine is a must.

I have only used it on carpet. Didn't even know cleaning tile with it was an option.

Sorry I have only used this machine on hard surfaces. I absolutely love the job in does on hardwood flooring, slate and tile.

I just got mine, but we bought my mother this mop about 5 years ago from bed, bath and beyond and she is having no problems. I just mopped my floors yesterday, I wish shark would of included like a scrubber pad type thing. If you have like greasy dirt on floor, this mop will not clean it, I have to manually remove the grime. I found spraying a little floor cleaner on the dirty area first helps. Good suction on the broom vacuum part.

Kimo, I think the machine does a good job with the grout cleaning, but I do have one extenuating circumstance. I purposely used dark gray grout when we had this tile installed. This is a high traffic area plus where we feed two dogs. When I finish cleaning the floor all of the grout lines are consistently damp which shows they have been scrubbed. I'm satisfied. Hope this helps. Judy

We've had ours for about 1 year each. My mom uses hers on an office with 2000-3000sq.ft. of tile flooring. It has worked so well that I bought one too. We love the steam vac for every reason we can think of. I'm sorry yours don't work, but both of ours are fabulous!!

I do not have tile floors, but I did take it over to a relatives house. She wanted to try it out. It seemed to do a good job on her tile floors but it was just a one time thing. Hopefully you can get an answer from someone who deals with them in their home.

I have used it on my kitchen that has ceramic tile floors. It does not really get the grout clean. I have found that a grout cleaner like Zep is the only way if you want the grout really bright. You can get Zep grout cleaner from Amazon. The Hoover cleaner is a fantastic machine especially for carpet, but I wouldn't buy it just for tile.

It's not recommended. The Hoover cleaner is great, however, do not use it full strength.

I have the Bissell 2101-2. It has 2 outside small brushes, and one large brush in the center. This little sweeper picks up on my tile floor very nicely, and does alright on the carpet also.

It is better on hardwood and tile, actually. But overall this is a very bulky, inconvenient, heavy machine. If you're going to spend on a Dyson, get a better one... With the ball etc.

It works best on tile or wood floors. I use it on my rugs occasionally, but my canister vac works much better for rugs.
