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 HATE mopping and have been looking for something like this that will vacuum and then mop too! This would be a great blessing and a huge help in cleaning up after my 4 kiddos!

    I also follow you on FB and subscribe to your email! I always look forward to the great bargains!

    My least favorite is the kitchen–I have a 1 year old too. And worse yet, her 3 year old brother usually walks through her mess and tracks it all over the house if I don’t get it up immediately–yuck! The kitchen is just never clean and we spend so much time there it is impossible to forget about it.

    Least favorite chore – would have to be cleaning the hardwood floors!

    Ugh, as a SAHM I’m so burned out on ALL household chores!:) Cleaning the kitchen is my least favorite, though. With 4 kids, (3 teenagers & a baby) it’s pretty much pointless, but I still try! lol

    Keeping up with tile and linoleum floors is the worsst. With cats, dogs and kids it’s always a mess.

  18. Jen says

    My least favorite chore is the kitty litter boxes. They need to make self clean ones that actually work.

    We have a large linoleum area that goes from our front door down a hallway through the kitchen and into a portion of our family where our sliding door to our backyard is. We have a 4 year old son and 3 year old daughter along with 3 dogs who ALL love to play in the dirt and mud and track it in the house onto the linoleum floor that hates me as much as I hate it!!!! I have tried the Swiffer, mopping, and scrubbing on my hands & knees and I really don’t think the floor is ever very clean!!! I hate cleaning our linoleum floor with a passion!!!

    i love cleaning, but i do have a least favorite household chore. It is laundry by far. A mesh bag for socks makes things much easier, but for some reason I still dislike washing clothes very much.

  29. Kari C says

    My least favorite thing to clean is my teenage sons bedroom. You never know what you’re going to find LoL!!

  37. Julie says

    My least favorite household chore is cleaning the showers – especially the one with the glass door that never seems to be clean!

  38. Kelly says

    Hi! Thanks so much for all your wonderful tips! I’ve gotten some great deals!

    My least favorite chore is also cleaning the bathroom – scrubbing the shower two thumbs down!!!!

    I HATE cleaning my bathrooms with a passion!!! My husband will do it, but he only does about half the job, which I guess it better then what I do most of time – nothing! Its sad to admit, but the only time my poor bathrooms get a thorough cleaning is when we are having guests over. However, if I had something that would make the job easier I am all for it! That and I am getting ready to begin feeding my soon to be 9 month old (6 months adjusted age) and I can only imagine the messes she is going to create! It would make my day if I won this!

  46. Diane says
