Best stick vacuum for a beach house that picks up sand?

[indianapolice]

Can anyone help with my search to find the best lightweight stick vacuum to purchase for our beach house. It seems most stick vacs just don't have the suction to pick up the majority of sand. What does everyone use ...and let their renters use?

I am considering trying my luck with the Hover S2220 model shown here: http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-Bagles...r_1_5?s=vacuums&ie=UTF8&qid=1339107812&sr=1-5

All recommendations would be helpful

We have the dirt devil dynamo. It works great!

Does it work well on tile floors? All our 3 floors have travertine and marble ....does it tote well up and down stairs. Thanks for the suggestion...and we hadnt really looked at full sized vacuum sweepers due to the amount of stairs in our home - thanks for the recommendation! Hope to find a light weight stick vac that has some suction also !

We have tile on the entire 1st floor as well as oak steps going up to the 2nd floor - We've had the Oreck hand held for a while and It does a great job!!

Dyson all the way. Don't go with the ball version. Get the full on Dyson vacuum. It sucks...sorry...couldn't resist.

Little pricey but worth every penny...
