CLOSED. Giveaway: Hoover Floormate Vacuum

By

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!

    My least favorite chore is probably cleaning the kitchen. I love to cook and
    bake but hate cleaning up afterwards.

  6. Dara Bills says

    I hate cleaning stinky toilets. I can never get rid of the smell or the hard water ring deposit.

    This is actually something we’ve needed for a while now! I’d have to say my least favorite chore is the bathroom, it’s small, and difficult to be able to move around to efficiently clean it properly. Our bathtub gets so dirty!

  21. Christen says

    the laundry by far is my least favorite! with three active kids it seems endless! when i use great products that i was able to score for low prices it makes it a little better! lol

    Unlike most people – I don’t mind cleaning the bathroom. Mainly because I make the BF do it. HA!

    Seriously though, I think my least favorite chore is cleaning the foyer, which is where the litter box for our cat is.

    Our foyer is faux field stone with deep grout, so it’s hard enough to clean with daily traffic. Add in the fact that we have a cat who likes to dig to china in her litter and you’ll understand the issue!

    Most people suggest moving the litter box, but our cat (Snuggles!) is completely blind due to an accident where a car hit her (before we adopted her!). We thought we were doing ourselves a favor putting the kitty box in the foyer, and now we can’t move it because she knows where it is and is used to it!

    (Any suggestions?)

    Thanks for the chance at the awesome give away!

    I do not like to clean our bathroom. A family of 4 with 2 dogs and only 1 bathroom – it gets pretty dirty!

  46. Kate says

    My least favorite chore? It’s a toss up between cleaning the bathroom and shredding paper for recycling. More gunk in the bathroom, but there’s a thousand shreds of paper all over the floor after hours of shredding !
