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 don’t like cleaning floors! I’m bad about sweeping or wiping down bathroom tile. I also hate dishes, maybe Hoover will help out with that next!

  3. Marion says

    Putting away dishes drives me crazy (tiny kitchen, not enough room for everything)

  11. Kim says

    Like you, the bathroom is my least favorite chore. However, the floors are #2, so this would be a great win!

    I dislike cleaning floors. Our whole house is hardwood floors…exhausting. I should be cleaning them instead of being online! 🙂

    Hi,

  22. Dee says

    With 2 german shepherds, 2 cats, a teen and busy hub my kitchen floors are a NIGHTMARE! I would love, love, love this baby!

  26. Brittany says

    Honestly- I hate house work. How can I pick a least favorite chore when I hate them all? If I have to pick I suppose it would be doing the dishes.

  29. Brittany says

    I am now following you on twitter. Which is actually going to make my life easier.

  30. Kari says

    Cleaning bloodhound slobber off of the walls is my least favorite chore!

  34. Lyndi says

    My least favorite chore is mopping the kitchen/dining room. I have the same toddler dumping things on the floor problem. This would make clean-up a cinch! Thanks for the opportunity!

  36. Jaime says

    My least favorite chore is the floors, 2 cats, a big dog, messy toddler and a husband 🙂

  37. Tegan says

    My least favorite chore is dusting. We collect wooden animal toys on our travels and those attract dust like crazy.

  41. kpashchuk says

    my least favorite chore is emptying the dishwasher (because I have to continually keep my 17-month from trying to “help”)

  46. Michele Harvey says

    I follow you on Facebook! This sounds so amazing! I have four kids and three dogs…I absolutely HATE HATE HATE doing my kitchen and bathroom floors. I have tons of tile in my house and I would squeal like a child if I were to get one of these. lol! Thanks for the post! Have a blessed day!!!

    Hi – I follow you on FB and get your daily emails. My least favorite chore?! Hands down the floors. we have tile floors in most of our rooms. I live in SWFL so its bare feet or flip flops 365 days a year which means lots of beach sand, dirt and grime. I have to do the floors daily. The Hoover Floormate sounds like an awesome solution!!!!
    One I could really use 🙂

  49. Michele Harvey says

    I love your e-mails…I get them on my phone daily!! You’ve really changed our lives! I no longer pay for body wash or toothpaste…or deodorant. I have a son that is leaving for college soon and I have gone on and on to him and his friends about coupons and savvy shopping. They seem impressed, so hopefully they will appreciate the coupon book I am planning to give my son as a “you’re on your own now” gift. LOL Thanks so much for all you do for so many of us!
