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 dislike cleaning wood floors, just when you think you have got them looking great, you let the sun shine it and there it is…everything you missed shining with the sun!!

  7. Jamie Baker says

    I do not like to do cook! I will clean up meals after anyone who is willing to prepare a meal for me!

  10. Arlene says

    I am not a fan of any kind of housework, but it has to be done…I really hate cleaning under the fridge!

  11. Becky Potts Baker says

  13. Ingrid says

    I loathe dusting. I know it has to be done but it seems so useless when 5 minutes after you’re done things are dusty again!

  14. Ingrid says

    I subscribe…and would love to have this to clean up after my small kids too!

  16. Beverly says

    My least favorite is cleaning the older tile with white grout that is my bathrooms! Always looking for something to make that job easier!

  17. Hazelann says

    What an awesome giveaway! I really need a new vacuum and this one will be perfect for my hardwood floors.

  23. Mollie says

    Cleaning anything is my least favorite chore. Luckily my husband is way cleaner than me, because I really hate housework! And now that I have a toddler, it has become a necessary evil. I would love to try this!

    I love your website. I learn so much.. I would love to win the hoover floormate. With four kids and three are boys I would love some help in the bathrooms and the kitchen floors.

    The kitchen floor, for me, is the absolute worst. Between my two year old, my dog, and a nine month old who has decided that all things must first go in the mouth (!!) – it has to be done daily. Lame.

    my least favorite chore-washing the kitchen floor. I too have a little one and he also prefers to throw his food and his sippy cup on the floor. Its impossible to keep clean for more than an hour!

  35. Carrie says

    My least favorite chore is cleaning the shower! That is the hardest thing to scrub because you have to contort yourself so many ways to try to get all the nooks and crannies of the shower stall scrubbed and clean!

  37. Kristin says

    I absolutely loathe ironing, to the point I try not to buy clothes that have to be ironed–wrinkle free is my best friend.

  38. Amy says

    Laundry is my least favorite, but sweeping and mopping aren’t far behind! I would love to win this!
    Thanks for the chance,Amy

  44. Katie says

    The bathroom is the worst. Leaning over the tub and trying to scrub it!

  46. Crystal says

    I really hate the bathroom as well. I put it off for as long as I can then have to work twice as hard to get it clean 🙁

  49. mom2lynn says

    My least favorite household chose is DEFINITELY cleaning the bathrooms!! Yuck
