No hesitation - the best wet/dry Hardwood Floor Cleaner!
I, like many of you, had been shopping for a hardwood floor cleaner for over a year. I knew they were expensive, and frankly I was exhausted with all of the options. So it's been me and my Swiffer WetJet for years. No longer!
I ordered the Hoover FloorMate from Amazon after reading countless reviews, then comparison shopping. I found Amazon to have the cheapest price around. Plus, free shipping....how can you go wrong?
So when it arrived in a week or so, I was ecstatic to try it out. Instructions were very easy to follow and within minutes I was experimenting with my tiled kitchen floor. One of the best features of this vacuum is that it does it ALL. Sweep, mop, dry. No other tool needed. So I used the vacuum to sweep, I was a little doubtful since there were crumbs, etc. on the floor. But the FloorMate picked up everything in its path. Moping was super easy. Just remember to keep a nice even pace, not too fast, not too slow. After moping, I was ready to try the dryer function. I was horrified watching the tank fill up with dark disgusting water that was covering my "clean" floor. Just remember to use a nice even pace when drying....and to all those who claim this vacuum doesn't dry, well it does! This has cut drying time down by at least 2/3.
I am very pleased with the Hoover FloorMate. My floors are cleaner and shinier than ever....with far less effort from me. No longer am I on hands and knees scrubbing where other mops couldn't' clean.
Clean up was a breeze. I just detached the tanks, and brushes/guard, took them outside and used the water hose to rinse and clean. Definitely a time saver! Half of my home is tile floors, the carpeted areas I am planning to convert to hardwood in the near future, so my vacuum is going to be busy!
