I need a better way to clean about 1600 sq ft of hard flooring in my house.
Currently using Swiffer Dry on my hardwood. Does a good job with dust and hair, terrible with any sort of crumbs, pebbles or dirt.
Using a broom on my tile flooring. Great at crumbs and pebbles, not so good with dust, hair or dirt.
I have an upright with attachments and hard surface mode (i.e. turn the brush off) for my carpeted floors and have used it a little for the hard floors but it's too big to fit in tight spaces (under the bed, chairs, tables, etc.). I can always use the hose with attachments but the vacuum itself is a bit on the heavy side and the hose isn't very long.
So I'm looking to get something that is more portable like a direct suction canister. Something like one of the following:

Anybody have other ideas or suggestions? TIA.
