How to choose vacuum cleaner?

[seara]

Hello!

I hope to hear constructive opinions from local gurus!

My entrance floor is made from tile in the new home, I have kitty, dog, and child at 6 y.o. who likes to play outside with our pets. I'm expecting many dirty footprints from all them.. So I doubt that I can keep our floor in such shiny way w/o chemicals. Any advance for vacuum cleaners that can do the job (dirt/fur/soil) with minimal effort?

Thank you in advance!

I recently bought a Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro which vacuums and washes floors and carpets, all in one. I'm very very happy with it. I wanted something that I could quickly wash the floors and vacuum up the long dog hair at the same time without having to vacuum first and it getting all tangled in the brushroller etc and this works. I would not recommend it as your only vacuum though.. You'll want to have at least one dedicated vacuum with a hose etc to get at stuff off the floor.
