With the Bissell Symphony, it is like you are getting two pieces of equipment in one. This 2-in-1 model allows you to vacuum debris and steam hard floors at the same time. If you are familiar with Bissell, you know they make great vac for carpets. But this is BISSELL's all in one vacuum + steam mop that is made for cleaning tile floors. There are a lot of steamers on the market, but it is very rare to see a combination of vacuum and steamer together.
Most combinations do a couple of things okay, this one does two things incredible. It vacuums and steam cleans and does a great job at both. You know you need a steam cleaner because it is the most effective way to clean and sanitize tile floors using water. You also want to vacuum at the same time. Usually, it's a two-step process to sanitize and clean, but this one does it in one. That is what I love most about this vac.
It is also very affordably priced and cuts your cleaning time in half. It will take up what vacuum alone won't take. You won't believe how much-hidden dirt there is on your floor. It is also an extremely powerful vac because you won't give up either the effectiveness of the vacuum or the steam. The microfiber mop cloth is reusable and washable. It also features bagless technology.
The coolest feature of this unit is Dry Tank technology. Bissell has really perfected the technology where other combination machines failed. The dry dirt stays dry and the nice thing is you won't get a goopy mess inside the dirt tank. You actually get two cleaning pads. A microfiber pad that I've mentioned earlier and a microfiber scrubby pad that has bristles on the pad to scrub the floor.

It's also a lift-away which means floor care and above the floor cleaning can be done with this vac and it's also one of the most versatile vacs on this list.
It also allows easy transport up and downstairs, cleaning up at tall places and also hard to reach places. It also comes with loads of accessories for all those cleaning jobs and gets after the dirt no matter where it is hiding. This vac is all about being able to clean wherever the dirt hides.

Finding a suitable tile vacuum can be quite the task if you can't match the feature to suit the floor. Different flooring material requires different cleaning machines with specific abilities. Tile floors show up stains and debris more than other floors and that's why they need frequent cleanup.
However, not all vacuums can clean your floors efficiently and safely. Some have a poor suction mechanism that leaves dirt behind even after several passes. Others can cause damage to the surface. That's why you should pay close attention to the features and mechanism of your vacuum.
If you don't vacuum your tile floor regularly, the flooring can look extremely dirty. How many times you should clean the flooring will depend on the color of the tiles and grout.
Tiles tend to show up more dirt than rugs or carpets. But the main advantage of these floorings is that they can be cleaned easily. Sadly, manufacturers don't make tile only vacuums. Most of us buy just about any vacuum that has a hard floor cleaning function but ends up noticing the mistake after using the device.
With traditional vacuum, tile floors become notoriously difficult to clean. Most of the time they often require both mopping and vacuuming to truly get them looking clean and fresh.
You can either use a robot vacuum and mop set, or 2-in1 vacuum and steamer model, or a mop only model to make those tile floors looking fresh. Since there are no vacuums that are specially designed to clean tile floors, we will take the second-best and see which features make a vac ideal for tile floor cleaning.
Here are some of the key features that you should look for first before you buy a vacuum.
Which vacuum you need will depend entirely on the type of debris you expect to be cleaning. Considering the amount of mess, you should also determine how frequently you will clean your tile floors, do you have only tile flooring, or do you have a mixed type flooring, do you have pets and things like that.
I haven't included any robot vacuums in this list, but they can be a life-changing experience for people that don't have the time to clean their or house or just lazy. They can also get very expensive and that's why I've skipped those.
Now, you don't necessarily need a wet/dry vac unless you have a large space with tile floors that get scuffed easily. Pet hair is a common problem so make sure the vacuum you choose has enough power and the right attachment to pick up pet hairs.
In short, you need a vac that has a soft brush, it can be either motorized or not but needs to have a bare floor cleaning function. The non-motorized brush head is preferable or the ability to turn off the rotation of the brush. Instead of picking dust, a fast-rotating motorized brush will just scatter debris all around the tile floors.
What kind of vacuum do you need? This is the first choice that you need to make. There are different types of vacuum but the most preferred ones for tiled floors are canister vacuums. Uprights are also widely because they offer a lot of versatility. They also work well for both tile and other floor types.
On the other hand, are smaller and lighter alternatives to upright vacuums and they also take up less storage space. The downside is that they often have less suction power.
For serious cleaning, a canister vacuum offers the most suction power. But they are a little troublesome to carry throughout the house. However, some recent models are lightweight and have become much more portable than they used to be without losing any of the suction power.
You still have to tow the canister along with you though. But the cleaning tools and extensions eliminates most of the towing. Some of the best tile vacuums are actually canister vacuums.
You can also consider handheld vacs. They are convenient for cleaning hard to reach places. Most of the uprights in this list can turn into a portable hand vac.
Some of them are 3-in-1 vacs that great for multi-purpose cleaning. Some Shark vacuums have a lift-away feature that allows you to take out the entire canister and the flexible hose together. This type of vac offers more power than standard handheld models.
Usually, I would always go with a bagless model because I don't need to carry a bag around whenever I want to clean the house. Bagged vacuums need disposable bags to contain the dust. Sure, it makes cleaning vac faster, but you need to have bags on hand.
On the other hand, bagless vacuums don't need any disposable bags. All of the dust is contained inside the dust hatch. When it gets full, you can take out the bin and empty the hatch.
It is cost-efficient but takes a little bit of your time to completely clean the hatch. Some have sealed canister that prevents fine dust from leaking.
Let's go over this quickly. Corded vacs will give you more power, but you will be limited with movement because of the length of the power cord. But having a long 30-feet cord will allow you to clean every corner of your room. But that long cord can get tangled up easily. So that's the only drawback of corded vac.
On the other hand, cordless vacs will give you complete mobility, but it will run as long as the battery powers the vac. Plus you need to charge it, make sure it is fully charged and keep track of the run time. Cordless models aren't as powerful as corded ones. So, decide the type of power source you need depending on the type of cleaning that you mostly do.
One of the most important features of a tile vacuum is the brush head. This is what largely determines which type of mess the vac can clean. The ideal brush would be those non-motorized brushes that simply roll when you move the vac back and forth.
To increase the efficiency of these brushes, different manufacturers applied different mechanisms and added unique brush types to increase vacuuming efficiency.
Some vacs have specialized brushes that can pick up large debris where traditional brushes just scatter them around. Some are great at picking up pet hair and tiny dust particles.
Some took this a step further and added two brushes that polish and vacuums at the same time. They work collaboratively to roll dust into the suction zone. This unique approach provides better targeting for small and large dust particles. They are also designed to work on both carpet and hard floors.
Whether it is a bagged or bagless vac, you should also consider the size of the canister. Having a large dust bin will allow you to clean for longer periods of time without having to stop and empty the bin. You can clean larger areas of your house without having to stop.
If you have a large house, you should definitely get a vac that has large dust storing capacity. It can save a lot of time and energy. However, if you have a studio apartment or plan to clean a small part of your house, the canister capacity won't be much of a big deal.
The vacuum you choose needs to have a powerful suction capacity. However, no one mentions the CFM of their product so you should rely on us reviewers to know how much power a vacuum has. Suction power alone won't guarantee efficient cleaning.
There other factors that also come into play. For example, the cleaning head/brush mechanism, the type of debris you are picking, etc are also a huge factor. In general, having more power is good but you need to have equally good cleaning attachments.
Having too much suction won't hurt your tile, but it can damage the carpet. When it comes to collecting pet hair or picking up dust, you will typically need more suction power. If you feel that your current vacuum is lacking power in terms of suction, you should look towards heavy-duty uprights as they are known for heavy suction capacity.
As I have said before, vacuum makers don't make their products for tile only. This means you won't get a vacuum for tile only. It is because you won't use it for cleaning tile floors only. Since you will be paying for all of the extra features, why not make the most out of it?
Make sure to get a vac that you can use to clean the entire house. It will be a plus point if your vac has adequate power to clean carpets and upholstery. Some are designed in a way that you can convert them into the handheld mode or use the extended crevice tool to clean tight spaces and above the floor cleaning.
Having a lot of attachments will also come in handy when cleaning those hard-to-reach places. They also help cleaning those odd floor types and spaces around the house where you otherwise wouldn't be able to clean with your standard vacuum.
Concerning versatility, another important aspect to consider is maneuverability. For an upright, having a swivel steer is a must if you want to smoothly and effortlessly move the vacuum around. Every manufacturer uses a different approach, some uses wheelbase while some use rollers.
Each has its own steering control. These significant differences between vacs will determine how easy to difficult vacuums will be to push across different floor types. It won't matter much if you only use it to clean your floor, but it will certainly be useful if you want to clean the carpet as well or transition between the two. If you have a swivel steering feature, then it will be easier for you to steer.
You should also consider how many power outlets you have. If you have fewer of them, you should consider getting cordless vacs. Otherwise, a corded vac with a long power cord will do. Having a battery power vac will save you time when you need to switch from room to room. You don't need to worry about having a power outlet nearby.
However, if you have a larger area that you need to clean regularly, cordless vac can be a nightmare because they won't have enough battery power to run through the whole cleaning session. For this, corded models are best, and you can also use an additional extension cord to further increase the reach.
If you have allergy problems, you consider a vac with HEPA filters. They are an important component of every vacuum. Nowadays, most modern vacs have an advanced filtration system that prevents dust from leaking out. Vacs with HEPA-rated filters have the highest level of dust capture.
They help keep the air around your vacuum dust and allergen-free. However, those models tend to be more expensive and if you don't want to spend that much on a vacuum, consider getting a normally sealed chamber with a good filtration system. Typically, those models will be sufficient enough for anyone who is not sensitive to dust. However, they will sometimes allow slightly more dust particles to pass through the filtration system.
If you are particularly sensitive to dust, you should consider a model that multiple layers of filters or even better, a HEPA filter. Speaking of filters, if you want to cut down on maintenance costs, look for a model that has washable filters. There are certain benefits of having washable dust filters. They can be easily removed, wash, reusable and last years with proper care. This also means that you can clean the filter on the spot if the filter gets clogged and restore suction.
Having a disposable filter will certainly last longer between cleaning sessions, the added cost will be more than a reusable filter.
Tile floors have grout lines that are sometimes wide or narrow while some are deep and shallow. Each joint will hold dirt differently, some will hold more while some will hold less. That's why you need a vac with a powerful suction capacity that can suck dirt out of those grout lines. You will also need specialized cleaning heads that can take that dirt out for the vac to suck up.
While tile floors are hard and scratch-resistant, it is better to be safe than sorry. Pick a model that has rubberized wheels that won't scratch the floor surface. Grazed tile, in particular, is prone to this kind of damage because of its dirt-repelling coating.
So, we are at the end of this article. All of these products that I have listed here are from established names in the vacuum industry. Each of them has something unique to offer, and it's up to you to decide which one suits you the most. Pick a model designed with hard floors in mind because they will give you the maximum amount of suction power and safer cleaning. Hope you found the best vacuum for tile floors to your preferences and needs.
