CLOSED. Giveaway: Hoover Floormate Vacuum

By

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

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!

    I despise vacuuming – I would love to see if this makes that chore a bit easier! 🙂

    I dread cleaning my white tile countertops–there is no way for them to ever be really clean.

  15. Jacquie says

    I hate cleaning my bathroom floors. My whole downstairs is hardwood or tile!!

  18. laura says

    This could be a gift from heaven! Out of all the chores, I HATE mopping/vacuuming the most.

  24. Michelle. L says

    My least favorite chore would have to be laundry and cleaning the bathroom.

  26. Bobbie says

    I hate keeping the floors clean… all are either tile or wood wanna be except for the three bedrooms which are carpet. With the dogs in and out I need to have the floor clean for when my crawling grandchild comes over (which can be anytime :-))

  30. Jennifer D. says

    Floors are my least favorite chore! We have dark hardwoods and you can see every little smudge and crumb.
    P.S. I also have a 1 year old who likes to throw food on the floor. 🙂

    I FOLLOW YOU ON FACEBOOK! I OWN A DAYCARE IN MY HOME AND MY LEAST FAVORITE ROOM TO CLEAN IS FOR SURE THE BATHROOM, WHICH I CLEAN ATLEAST TWICE A DAY!

    My least favorite job is just about anything right now. I’m 6 months pregnant with my 4th boy – in 5 years!

  34. jinha says

    i dont have a least favorite part about cleaning. i just DESPISE it altogether. dishes, wood floors, windows, vacuum, everything.

  38. Jessica says

    My least favorite thing is to dust. I will keep my fingers crosses and be praying up a storm that I win. My expensive vacuum has been sitting in the closet and was replaced by a $20 hand vac. That just tells you how ‘great’ the vaccum was. 🙁 I could use a quality vacuum that actually picks things up off the carpet.

  39. Vanesssa says

    I also really do not like cleaning the bathroom! The toilet is the worst!
