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!

    My least favorite household chore has to be LAUNDRY! Or maybe dishes. Nope, laundry. If they ever make a machine that will fold AND put away the clean clothes, I’d be first in line!

  11. Cheyenne says

    I absolutely hate doing the dishes and just cleaning the kitchen in general. I don’t mind making it a mess, though.

  15. Macy says

    My least favorite chore is to clean out the refrigerator. I love to make the food and eat the food, but hate to clean it out once it goes bad. There is nothing like the smell of bad broccoli to kill an appetite!

  17. Janet says

    I follow you on FB 🙂 My least favorite chore is sweeping and mopping – my entire house is tile (other than the bedrooms) so this thing would make my life SO much easier!!

  20. Tonya says

    So my least favorite chore around the house would without a doubt me mopping the kitchen floor! I despise it, although has to be done with 2 little ones. This looks like a great thing to have.

  24. Ami says

    Sorting socks. How did we end up with so many socks that are almost alike but not quite the same?

  26. Jen says

    I need this!! My two year old and 5 month old have food and formula spit up on my floor everyday!! Im hoping to win this!!! I hate hate hate cleaning the floors and the bathrooms, it is the worst thing to do in the house. I will dust and clean out fridges before I have to get out the toilet bowl cleaner and mop!
    How do we find out if we are a winner? This is the first time I have entered into anything. BTW, YOU are awesome! I have got the best deals since I started your blog, facebook and daily emails!

    totally need this for my daughter’s allergies to control allergens! 🙂

    Kitchen cleaning is my least favorite because I live in a house with the kitchen exactly the way it was when the house was built in 1944. There is no dishwasher so stuff flies when the dishes are done and it seems like after just making one meal (or snack) the entire kitchen is a mess. This product sounds perfect and will make me feel like I’m living in 2010 when I’m in that old kitchen!

  33. Denise says

    My least favorite thing is mopping. I am always looking for some gadget to make it easier/faster.

  34. Dina says

    I hate cleaning my kitchen floors. It’s never ending! Maybe this will help!

  39. Michelle says

    With 2 little boys, my least favorite chore is toilets! I follow you on fb and now subscribe to your newsletter.

  41. Hillary E. says

    My least favorite thing to clean is my floors. I have an almost 4 year old, a one year old and a dog with long hair. Cleaning the floors is a never ending task and I feel like no matter how much I clean them they are never really clean. I follow you on fb and love your site. Thanks for all you do!! Cleaning my bathrooms is a breeze compared to trying to keep up with my floors.

  46. Shelly :) says

    My least favorite job is cleaning the shower or maybe dusting. Both are up there! Dusting is a never ending battle. :/

  48. Sarah Mc says

    Ironing is my least favorite chore. I put it off for at least a month until there’s a huge stack. Maybe that’s the problem…

  49. Marge Osowski says

    I follow you on facebook. My least favorite part of cleaning the house is the bathrooms also.

  50. Windi says

    I absolutly hate cleaning the bathrooms. This would help so much. Thanks for the giveaway
