I have all porcelain tile floors and one area rug. The canister maneuvers well and is very quiet. The vacuum has very good suction. The hard floor tool picks up loose dirt without scattering it around. Although the floor tools swivel side to side, they are at a fixed angle and do not lay flat to clean under furniture and up to baseboards. Please change that construction. I like Bissell products (have the Powerfresh Steam Mop for Hard Floors) and would buy again even though the angle of the floor tools is a little inconvenient.
