CLOSED. Giveaway: Hoover Floormate Vacuum

I heard about the Hoover Floormate about a year ago.  A friend of mine was telling me she cleans her bathroom floors in 5 minutes with the Floormate and how much she loved it.

When Hoover contacted me to review the Floormate I jumped.  Literally.  And then waited at the door for 2 weeks until it arrived.  Finally my little box of heaven arrived and I tested it out that same day.  We have a lot of carpet in our house but the kitchen floor and I are arch rivals.  We have linoleum floors and a 1 year old baby that prefers to throw her meals on the floor than actually eat them.

So the kitchen floor is filthy basically 100% of the time.  Now the floormate is designed for hard floors and it has 3 features- it can vacuum the floor (no sweeping needed!) and then scrub the floor and then it dries them for you!

So I tested the power of this baby by letting Maya have her way with the floor for 2 days.  Usually I am scrubbing away after every meal so the floor under her highchair was pretty bad.  I found the Floormate did an amazing job.  It vacuumed all the little crumbs up perfectly.  The scrub feature got most of the stuff off the floor but I still had to scrub a tiny bit myself to get everything up.  To be fair, Maya had thrown several tomato slices on the floor so there were seeds and things that were a little much for the Floormate.  It did get nearly all of her mess up though and I am guessing normal people won’t have quite the level of mess that I have.  The Floormate does allow you to use a trigger to concentrate the soap into certain spots and there are rotating brushes that work to get it all up.  This baby will get your floors really clean and it is nice and easy to use.  Then just switch it to dry and viola- the floors are all done!!

We have had the Floormate for about a week and I can tell you our floors are cleaner than they have ever been.  I typically vacuum the kitchen once per day and that keeps everything crumb free.  Then I do a scrub every other day- it is pretty simple to do.  Overall I have really loved this machine.  If you have hardwood floors I could see this making your life a lot easier.   For sure it makes cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms so much easier and honestly I think it is cleaner than using a broom and mop.

The Floormate runs on scratch free rubber wheels and has 2 tanks- one for clean water and one for dirty.  You will easily see how much dirt this baby picks up and you don’t have to worry about dumping more dirty water onto the floor when you are cleaning.

This sells for about $149 and you can purchase the Floormate from Target.com for $149.00 with free shipping!

    Urgh I hate cleaning the bathroom. As a mom of a 6 year old boy, I’ll tell ya, the toilet needs to be cleaned daily!

  2. Noemi says

    My least favorite chore is washing the dishes! It just feel so time consuming.

  3. Emily says

    The bathroom is definitely my least favorite place to clean in our house. Being able to clean the floors easier would make that a little less painful, though!

  4. Jen V says

    I hate mopping. Just drives me crazy!! I always bribe my boyfriend to do it for me! 🙂

  9. Kori says

    My least favorite thing to clean is also the bathroom. I hate everything in there – toilet,sinks, tub,shower! 🙂 I would love to win the Hoover because I have the same problem you do with my son and our kitchen floor!

  12. Melissa Fox says

    I think my least favorite is the kitchen chores- dishes and trash, cleaning out the fridge!

    I subscribe to your newsletter. My least favorite part of cleaning house is the whole thing because I have a one year old German Shepherd and it is hard to keep up on cleaning his dog hair.

    My least favorite chore is the bathroom for sure. It gets dirty so quickly and it’s a pain in the butt to have to climb in the tub and scrub!

    I’d have to say my least favorite thing to do is wash the dishes!! As a kid, my sisters and I had to rotate turns doing them and I still remember the feeling of dread when it was “my night”.

  43. Joanna Shipp says

    I don’t mind cleaning. I like having a clean house. I love it when my bathroom is clean and smells nice. Or when my carpet and floors don’t have any dog hair on them. However, I don’t like picking up. It seems like stuff just accumulates in my house. Plus my husband isn’t very good about getting clothing in the laundry room. I feel like our mail just keeps multiplying every day.

  45. Tommie Klaus says

    I follow on facebook & newsletter.. I would have to say cleaning the bathrooms has to be my least fav. thing to do…
