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!

    Cleaning anything in the bathroom is my least favorite job–I also have to agree with you!!

    Bathrooms are my least favorite and I follow you on Facebook!
    We have hardwood floor everywhere and this would really help!

    I have so many un-favorites! The kitchen floor would have to be the biggest. I have 4 boys, so there is always a mess to clean up, and I hate stepping on crumbs- makes me crazy!
    I follow you on fb and receive the email newsletter.
    Thanks for the great tips!

    The toilets are the worst by far. No matter how clean they are, they are never clean enough!

    My least favorite chore is putting away clean clothes. I have no idea why, but I’ll do some serious negotiations with my husband to get me out of hanging clothes.

    My least favorite chore is the floors- kitchen, bathroom and living room we have hard wood.

    The bathroom is the worst! I finally decided to splurge last month and hire my SIL to come clean it every two weeks for me. It works for her because she needs the money, and it works for me because I need my time back!

    Windows are my least favorite. I used to hate vacuuming, but I have overcome that now. 🙂

    Oooh I love a giveaway!

    My least favorite chore is emptying the dishwasher. It’s my 13 year old son’s chore (bahahahaha) but he begs me to do it every time. I guess we share in our dislikes =)

    I also follow you on Facebook and Twitter!

    Believe it or not my least favorite chore is cleaning the floors. This would be awesome.

    Cleaning the bathroom and doing laundry are pretty equal for me.
    Since my carpet is so dirty I also dislike vacuuming ’cause I hate to see how dirty it is.
