I am always skeptical when buying a new cleaning product. I usually find that I am disappointed and rarely use the product after the first few times. I hate cleaning, and have hardwood throughout my house with linoleum in my kitchen (for now). When I cleaned the floors before, it was a 4 hour process (at least) for just the kitchen and living room areas. I would sweep, vacuum, mop, steam mop, and then vacuum again. The first time I used this on the hardwood, I took it very slow making sure to scrub every inch carefully. I was instantly amazed about how well it cleaned everything and how dirty my floors were after all that work a few days before. The next day, I repeated the process, but used it less meticulously. It did the same - picked up...

Disappointing

I just received my hoover and washed one floor and it already stopped working!!!! I read the book and did all the troubleshooting and it wont even turn on. I had to wait two weeks to get it and now i cant even use it. I am very disappointed. I have no choice but to get a refund. And ponder whether to reorder.

    Cleans tile great

    I have a stone look tile that is very hard to clean and conventional mops leave dirty water in the pits and get the grout filthy. This floor scrubber cleaned the floors great. With the seperate dirty water container I did not have to worry about dirty water left behind. The only draw back was I had to contiuously stop to refill and empty the water conatiners. But hardly a problem when you consider the reults. Very easy to use.

    best floor machine

    I am very happy with my hoover. Have 2 dogs who swim and roll in the sand. I have a lot of square ft tiles smooth onces and not smooth onces and they are clean now. A lot of black water came out of the hoover after cleaning my floors. Also the smell is so great and you can deside how much water you want to use. Very happy with it and great product for a great price

    Great product, great ease of ordering. Thank you .

    First of all the ordering on line was simple and easy. The price was more than fare and it arrived when they said would and the product is a quality product, I would recommend online purchasing to everyone. Unfortunately there are not enough clerks in the stores who know their products so you have to do your own research!

    My floors are squeaky clean!

    I purchased this floor cleaner because it has a 6 amp motor and I love it! It gets my floors squeaky clean and I don't have to get on my hands & knees. The best part is it picks up the dirty water so the entire time you are only putting clean water on the floor. Then to top it off, the 'dry' setting squeegies the floor from almost dry to completely dry depending on the floor type. The bonus 64 oz bottle of cleaner make this purchase super economical. Thank you Walmart for this super deal and superb machine!

    Have only used once but it cleans great!

    Purchased the previous model year on clearance for only $99. The older model has a wider cleaning path which I like, it is slightly heavier but that gives it some heft on the spin brushes. It did an awesome job on my kitchen rough porcelain tile floor that used to take me over an hour to do by mop, and the workout was strenuous. This makes cleaning almost fun and cuts the cleaning time to just over 20 minutes. Have only used it once, but love it so far.

    The only problem I found is getting the cleaning soluation. The machine itself does a great job of cleaning. It is amazing to see all the dirty water collected. Walmart doesn't even carry the soluation needed. I finally found it at Target and bought the last two.

    Easy to use

    The only issue I have is that it doesn't do a good job on corners and edges so I needed to do those parts by hand. I used it on tile - haven't tried it yet on our hardwood flooring. But makes life a whole lot easier since it washes, rinses and dries! Walmart had the best price online - shipping was free which was a bonus.

    Only 50% of what I expected

    As a vacuum it doesn't work. But as a floor scrubber it works. My son spilled Kool-Aid mix on my floor, and it cleaned up the horrible mess with ease. There is barely even a stain, which considering the fact the red Kool-Aid stains almost everything it touches and my floor is not in the best condition, is wonderful. I had very high expectations for this product and although it doesn't vacuum things bigger than a tiny crumb, it works as a hard floor scrubber.

    hoover floormate

    The is the second time I have bought a floormate. This newer model has more power and capacity. The system is efficient, and easy to use. The part I like the most, is that you only use clean water, and cleaning solution to clean your floor. Never using dirty water, as with a regular mop and bucket. With the wet vac that sucks up the dirty water, cleaning your hard surface floor is a snap.

    I have a 1000 sq ft porcelain tile kitchen floor and this is the first product that I have found that actually cleans the tile. It does not scrub deep enough to get to the grout, but it really gets the dirt off the floor. I am very satisfied so far ( I have only used it twice).

    easy to use

    I am thrilled with this floor cleaner. I have 3 dogs and a lot of dirt outside!!. It was getting very hard to get my floor clean. And, getting older, I was looking for a really good mop. Never found it. This floor cleaner gets up all the ground in dirt and very easily....love it!!

    Just okay for the Workplace

    I purchased the Hoover for the VCT floors at my dental office. My floors need to be cleaned almost daily and thought this would be a really good product. Well, it's just okay. For very mild dirt it works pretty well. But for the deep, ground in dirt that people track in everyday, it just doesn't work that well. I literally have to get down on my hands and knees and scrub my floors. Then I use the Hoover to remove the surface dirt that is left behind. Maybe this product is better for low traffic areas but definitely not for a business.

    Product is great...product from Walmart is not

    I had to purchase a 2nd one to get the full impact. Out of the box from Walmart (did an online purchase), all seemed well. I assembled it with no issues, filled it and set it in motion...still no issues. At the end of the 2nd floor I was cleaning I noticed the water was not dispensing. Checked connections, made sure it was seated properly, etc..still no go. Went on line for help even. Did a few more checks and went to start it and it wouldn't even turn on. Back into the box and back to Walmart for a full refund. They didn't have one in store for exchange. That was Tuesday. Went online to Amazon on Thursday, received a new one in the mail on Saturday and am very happy. I have all floor types...laminate, vinyl, hard wood, textured tile and ce...

    great floor cleaner

    First time using, had problem with cleaning solution coming out. the trigger was not working properly. Took it apart again and made sure all connecting was making contact. After reconnecting floor cleaning solution started coming out. Using floor mate on tile floors and it work great, less time in doing the floors now.

    Great for scrubbing floors and having then dry

    I bought this to scrub our new home that has tile everywhere and we have 3 pets and a lot of traffic. I love how it is easy to fill with cleaning fluid, empty the dirty water which is kept separate :) I also like that you can dial to vacuum, wash or dry and I'll tell you that my floors were practically dry.....you do have to take your time for dirtier areas but it sure beat having to be on my hands and feet and any Swifter product I've every owned. I'm 49 and don't feel like scrubbing anymore so I splurged and purchased this and couldn't be happier.

    Picks up the dirty water!

    No more breaking my back to clean the 700 sq feet of flooring in my house! with a husband who works outside all day and a dog that does the same my floors have always been a challenge for me to keep clean! I have many health issues and mopping, steam cleaners and plain old hands and knees scrubbing our now just a memory. The floor mate goes together fast, stores compactly and is super easy to clean out, and rev up again! I would have wanted a larger capacity of fresh soapy water, but then the machine would be too heavy to push, so I think the size will have to do. Not hard to take out the bins, clean and refill. Hear are some tips I learned from my friend who owns one: Be patient at first, you may see streaks or dull looking floors, Why? we...

    My husband and I love this. We have white tile in our kitchen and bathroom and this is the first machine were I didn't have to clean the floor after cleaning the floor. The seperate water tanks are very cool and it sucked up a lot of dirt! Best of all, it's quiet and compact, there's no loud noise or bulky tank to lug around.

    Awesome

    I have a great amount of travertine in my home and was tired of pushing a mop around and feeling like the floor was still dirty. Not to mention you have to use a special cleaner for travertine since it is a natural stone. So I purchased this machine and having low expectations and high hopes. I can honestly say I was impressed after the first cleaning. It's very similar to a vacuum cleaner mixed with a carpet cleaner but it's for hard surfaces and the rubber squeegees on the bottom of the machine do a very good job drying up the floor. I would stay away from using this on wood floors because there is alot of water that comes out. Overall this machine is a great product if you have a hard floor surfaces like tile or travertine.
