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 chore is cleaning the kitchen. I can’t stand doing dishes and our kitchen table has a second use as a catch all for mail notes and kids school work and artwork.

    Oh, I love the floormate! My 4th one is about to die – I am nursing it along…I got one of the first ones made and have been addicted since. I have NO carpeting in my house so I have to clean 2000 sq ft of floors! I have dogs and had puppies – 15! Yikes! The pups are messy eaters and drinkers and like to play in water. They often dump their whole water dish on the floor – and I can suck it up with the floormate! (The suck up feature is what is not always working now!) I wash my floor at least 3 times a day, more if it rains and is muddy! When the pups eat, I have learned to just turn on the floormate and follow behind them until they are all done eating and drinking.

    And my least favorite chore has always been the floors…sweeping, vacuuming, mopping.

  15. Mitra says

    My least favorite job is cleaning my 3 year old daughter’s room. It only stays clean for about 5 min before its a mess again! And boy is she good at making a mess.

    My least favorite chore is vacuuming the kitchen and the laminate floors. We have an old vacuum and have to really bend over to use the non-brush attachments. This makes it a chore each time we need to vaccum.

    I love my cats, but cleaning the kitty room and litter boxes is my least favorite thing to do.

  34. melanie says

    My least favorite is scrubbing out and around the toilets- I have two little boys, one who is potty training so its always a job.

  37. Cindy says

    I hate mopping floors. We have a lot of tile and I just hate mopping it. Ugh.

  39. Maggoo32 says

    I already follow you on FB and Twitter, but I would follow you anywhere for info on the deals! My LEAST favorite chore is the bathrooms only because I have a teenage son (need I say more)?! I actually have to wash the toilet and floor twice to get it clean. This Hoover Floormate sounds like the trick to cleaning with ease again. Thanks.

  46. Renae says

    I follow you on FB and boy do I need a new vacuum!! Crossing every limb hoping I win!!

  47. shelby brigham says

    My least favorite chore is sweeping, mopping, and vaccuming…. So basically anything floor related lol.

  50. Tracey says

    Oh my gosh! I think I might be in love. I hate to clean my hardwood floors. It feels like a never ending battle. I could clean them twice a day easily. ( I hate to clean my bathrooms also, but at least it isn’t a daily chore like the hardwood floors are.)
