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!

    Bathrooms for me, too. We have an old fiberglass shower surround and no matter how much I clean it, it still looks dingy. (sorry if this shows up twice, I hit submit and it disappeared the 1st time)

    my least favorite chore is sweeping the floor with a broom and dust pan…

  15. Sadina says

    My least favorite is washing the dishes by hand. I hate it, but i have a wonderful husband that does it most of the time….

  16. Lacey says

    I have boys and they often “miss” when aiming in the toliet, so obviously the bathroom is the worst for me.

  17. Tiffany says

    My least favorite is the bathrooms too. Fortunately I took care of those this morning, LOL.

    my least favorite chore definitely has to be cleaning the carpet. It’s a cheap carpet and every time my 3 and 1 year old gets a chance they are dropping something on the carpet. So I am constantly vacuuming and spot cleaning.

    I would imagine the Floormate is an excellent product since it is made by Hoover. Love their products and love your “frugal adventures”. Ü

    my least favorite chore is doing the dishes especially if i leave them over night the thought of having to put my hand back in the cold yucky water makes my skin crawl.

  35. Kristin says

    I follow you on FB AND I subscribe to your newsletter ( I HAVE to, you are the only LOCAL blog around) LOL Oh, and my least favorite chore is LAUNDRY!! I don’t mind washing and drying, it is the folding and putting away that I don’t like. I am lucky that I have such a wonderful hubby that does it for me 🙂

  40. Erin W says

    My least favorite chore is actuall putting the laundry away when it’s clean and folded.

  43. Carol says

    For some unknown reason my least favorite chore is emptying the dishwasher.

  44. Jamie says

    My least favorite chore is most certainly our kitchen floor because I have a messy 10 month old who is in serious competition with your one year old! I’m sure the hover would certainly save me a lot of time but I can’t afford it right now so I’ll just have to hope I win 🙂

    oh do i have to pick one thing that I dislike the most about cleaning? can’t it just be everything?!?! I had a floormate once and it was the most amazing thing ever. Our hardwood floors now have all these little spaces in between the boards that all these crumbs get stuck in and I have no clue how to get it all clean.

    If I had to pick one thing I hated the most it would be the bathroom. My floors would actually be clean and worth crawling on if I had a floormate! Poor baby girl stuck on the floor crawling. Oh now I feel like a bad mom and I’m gonna go mop the floors and dream of having a floormate again. At least I finally trained my hubby to leave his shoes at the door.
