We moved into a new apartment that was all tile floors, so I retired my Bissell carpet cleaner, my Bissell Green Monster spot cleaner and my shark vacuum cleaner (is terrible on hard floors) to the storage unit. Unfortunately I was unable to afford the Bissell Crosswave Pet so I chose this unit because of the vacuum and steam capabilities, and being able to use disposable pads on animal messes, and it was more in my price range. This unit does not clean the grout between the tiles, I have to go around after cleaning the floor and use paper towels and spray to clean the grout. The vacuum is good in a pinch, but I have found I am back to using a broom. I feel this unit would be good on vinyl floors, but I could not in all good conscience recommend this for tiles.
