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 cleaning the toliets and vacuuming. I would love a new vacuum since mine is over 18 years old and it is really heavy.

    Can’t stand cleaning bathrooms. I also follow you on FB and twitter, I’m hooked!!!

    I really hate to clean the kitchen floor. I don’t do it nearly as often as you and it really shows. I’ve been looking at steam cleaners but haven’t purchased anything. This looks like a great substitute!

    I am a follower on facebook and I would love a new vacuum for my wife! She has been wanting to get one for the kitchen hardwood floors.

    I would have to say folding laundry….which is evident by the consistent mounds all over the house. My husband says “they aren’t clean anymore if I don’t fold and put them immediately away”..and I say “I’ve been trying to get fired for years so bring it!”

    My least favorite chore has turned into mopping the floors because our entire downstairs in now tile so I’d love to have the floor mate to help me!!

    Least favorite chore is probably the kitchen floor, or actually anything kitchen related! 🙂

    I don’t like sweeping and mopping my kitchen and bathroom floors.
    I have been asking my husband for a new vacuum that cleans hardwood floors and carpets. It would make my life so much easier. But of course like everything it costs money. This would be the perfect solution.
