If you have hard surface floors and kids or pets, then you have dirt.  I'm not saying your house is dirty, but having kids and pets is synonomous with having dirt on the floors. Dirt tracked in from outside, pet hair, food crumbs, spilled snacks, etc.  Getting out the broom is a hassle, at least I think so. I HATE sweeping.  Lugging out a large, corded vacuum is also a hassel.  I found a great solution. I only recommend products in which I believe they offer a high value for the money and/or work great at solving a problem.

I have a 6-year old, 4 dogs, and 2 cats. I also have wood and tile floors. The dog fur alone is enough to drive me nuts. However, I can easily vacuum it all up with my handy, convenient, and light Hoover Lynx. It's a fairly new product from hoover. It has a rechargeable battery that sits in a charging bay when not in use. The battery only lasts about 15 minutes, but that is more than enough to do all my hard floors.  It even picks up kitty litter and dog food.

The best part is that the dog fur does NOT get clogged around the brush.  The dirt cup could be a little bigger, but it's not a big drawback at all.

I give the Hoover Lynx cordless stick vac 5 out of 5 stars.  It was $200 and worth every penny. You can find it at some department stores, such as Wal-Mart, Target, Bed and Bath and also on Amazon.com
