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 had tile floors put in about 4 years ago. I cannot get them clean no matter what I use on them. I think this Hoover Floormate Vac would clean it.
    I also sbscribe to your newsletter.
    Thank you.

    I hate cleaning the bathroom floor. We have very small tiles and lots of grout to clean!

    No question about it–I hate sweeping and mopping the floor the most! My downstairs is ALL tile!

    Bathroom cleaning is by far the worst! Sometimes I wonder if I just ran across the street to the Hardees I wouldn’t need to use the restroom except for showers. It would make cleaning easier!!!

    There are so many to chose from! I would have to say that one of my least favorite things is to fold the laundry. This is probably because we have too much stuff. My husband and one of my children have difficulty “letting go”, and it isn’t easy to find places for everything when it is clean!

    I do not like to dust. And, I follow you on facebook-DAILY, and I subscribe to your newsletter. I really do not need to do that though, because I go to your site several times a day!!! I would love to win the vacuum, because I have wood floors in my kitchen and dining room, and tile in the bathrooms.

    I hate to do the dishes…and a close second is cleaning the shower.

    My least favorite has got to be wiping the kitchen floors down with lysol wipes. Nothing else seems to be as thorough as getting down on my hands and knees and scrubbing it myself!

    I fet your newsletter. If I won this I would gift it to my sister-in-law. She has a two year old and one year old triplets!!!!

    I, like you, despise my kitchen floor! I love to cook, but it is a daily battle to clean that floor…anything to make it easier would be FANTASTIC!!! 🙂

    My least favorite chore is definitely cleaning/mopping floors. My whole house is hardwood floors….exhausting!

  45. Rebecca says

    I hate cleaning my kitchen floor… and, I admit, I rely heavily on my dogs to do it for me. I figure that as long as they regularly clean all the food off of the floor, a little dirt won’t hurt, will it? It also doesn’t look any different, clean or dirty (we are in an old rental house). But I would LOVE a hoover!!

    My least fav chore to do is bathrooms also– particularly the bathtub…
