What is the best vacuum for a home that is 90% tile, with only 2 small bedrooms with carpet and a 2 yr old?

Answers:
I recently got the Electrolux Oxy3 Canister Vac. I've had several uprights before and none of them did the trick. This vacuum is really great, and it has a tile setting and a carpet setting. It's really quiet on tile mode. My house is 100% tile, but I have a few small area rugs and the vacuum is amazing on the carpet as well. It has a HEPA filter. I just ordered the washable one to save some money in the future on filters. The vacuum is lightweight and easily detaches for wand cleaning. There's also a retractable chord. It's pretty pricey (around $500), but I've found that that's the price you have to pay to get a good vacuum. My parents have had an Electrolux for 30 years and it is still extremely efficient. I have a cat and a dog so getting the house clean is quite a task, and this vacuum gets it done.
On a side note, I also recently got the Hoover F4300 Floormax Supreme ($123 on Amazon.com) for washing the tile floors. I've tried several methods for cleaning tile and this thing is amazing. With the Electrolux and the Hoover, the time it takes me to clean my floors is more than cut in half.
