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 job is matching socks. For the longest time we just had a sock basket and people could get a pair when they needed them. I’m much better now 🙂 but I still don’t like it.

    My floors sure could use a good scrub (without a lot of elbow grease!!). I follow you on FB.

    My least favorite chore is washing the floor. Sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning counters I have no problem with, but washing is such a pain!

    I follow you on facebook and twitter too!

    My least favorite chore is cleaning the bathroom. Having 4 boys in the house makes for 1 gross bathroom!

  22. Christina says

    I hate, hate, hate to be on the floor after every meal and snack cleaning up after my kids. It drives me nuts!

  24. Caitlin says

    Bathroom is the least favorite too! I don’t mind the countertops, sink and shower/tub…but with three boys the toilets (and behind the toilets…and under the toilets)are what I dread! If only I could post a “wanted” sign that read: Will pay for you to scrub toilets. No dusting, no laundry, no vacuuming ….just the toilets. Thank you!

    Well, my least favorite used to be the shower and tub, until I got the Scrubbing Bubbles Extend a clean which works marvelously! So currently, I hate dusting.

  47. Lynn says

  49. Melissa Bennett says

    I follow you on fb and receiv your email. My least favorite chore is folding laundry. Ihave 2 boys who are constantly changing their clothes and I feel like if an alien were to come to this planet, they would think that I was put on this planet to fold laundry and load/unload the dishwasher…
