I have read through the threads on vacuums...and it's very likely that I'm missing the answer I'm looking for ... but can anyone recommend a canister vacuum that is designed for hard floors...does one even exist?

We have tile in the kitchen/family room and I guess I'm too lazy to go back to sweeping. The hardwoods in the rest of the house get dustmopped, but I will still run the vacuum through major traffic areas like the dining room and my bedroom or as far as the cord will reach from the family room!

I have looked online at the Hoover and Panasonic that with a press of a button can switch between carpet and hard floors. What I am *hoping* to find is a vacuum that has a LARGE floor piece without a brush to interfere with vacuuming up legos, broken crayons or anything that is left on the floor! I want to hear the crackle, crackle of it ALL being sucked up. Does the spinning brush interfere? Maybe I'm hung up on the wrong thing.

Anyway, it's to be a late Christmas present to myself (or make that an Epiphany present) and I would appreciate any opinions!

Thanks, ladies!

Me too! I love that sound. I also love my Electrolux canister w/ hard floor attachment. My entire downstairs is (finally ) all wood, and it does a great job. Here is what I have.
