CLOSED. Giveaway: Hoover Floormate Vacuum

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 think the worst chore, though not cleaning related, is getting groceries. I HATE IT!

    My least favorite chore is a tie between the bathrooms and mopped the floors! This gadget would make it a whole lot easier!

    Bathrooms are my least favorite to clean. It helps keeping a package of baby wipes close by for quick cleanups… A new vacuum would still be a wonderful prize to win!!!

    I HATE cleaning floors in general. Our kitchen has ceramic tile floor and I hate cleaning it. We have 2 big dogs who are forever messing up our floors. I’d LOVE to give this cleaner a try!!

  27. Lisa says

    My least favorite chore is definitely cleaning my tile floor. I am glad it is dirt colored.

    My least favorite chore has to be… all of them. I think worst of all is cleaning out the fridge. I love your blog and i love following you on facebook and twitter as well. Thanks for all the great tips!!

  41. Charlene says

    I dislike cleaning the tub/shower and moping the floors. This would help take care of one of my dislikes!

  43. Kristine says

    My least favorite chore is scrubbing the floors and the Showers, no fun at all!

  49. Misty says

    My least favorite household chore would have to be laundry. I have a 1 year old and he goes through several outfits everyday, I also have a husband who is far messier than my baby.

  50. Trish says

    My least favorite chore is folding laundry. I let it pile up and then it is even worse.
