Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner Machine, Lightweight Cleaning Machine, Floor Scrubber with Spin Scrub Brushes, Wash and Dry Mode, Ideal for Hardwood, Vinyl, Tile, Laminate and More

The first one got lost in shipping. Not Amazon’s issue, it was being sent with another shipper. I reordered and my refund for the one that never arrived promptly and received the replacement on time. This works great and it really picks up the grime from my tile kitchen floor. Easy to use and clean up after use.

Update 2/20/20: After a couple weeks of exchanging emails and proving that I disabled the unit, Hoover is sending me a replacement. I wouldn’t say the customer service is top notch, but I am happy they are replacing it. Update 2/3/20: The machine no longer works. After using once every two weeks, disassembling it with every use and only using Hoover products, the motor gives off a high-pitches screeching sound. Trying to contact Hoover on getting a refund or replacement. The call center is supposed to open at 8am, but when I called at 8:45am I got a recording that the call center was closed. :-/ Update 9/24/19: I still really like this machine, but it is not as described. The machine described comes with a grout brush and hardwood brush. The machine you receive comes with one multipurpose brush. I feel like it leaves light scratches on my hardwood, but it does a great job cleaning. I’ve been using this once or twice a week for nearly two months and haven’t had any issues. If you have hardwood floors, I recommend the hardwood solution to use in the machine. While I do like the machine, I wish I had known that it did not come with the hardwood brushes. That may have impacted my decision to purchase it. Original post: So glad I took the chance and bought this. I had bought one of these years ago, but it was so heavy, I barely used it. Now that I have a family and two German Shedder Dogs, keeping my hardwood floors clean is a never ending battle. No matter how often I’d mop, they just never FELT clean. And the whole idea of mopping - washing your floors with water that’s already dirty - seems rather fruitless. So I read the reviews and agonized over whether or not I take the chance and buy this thing. I wanted to wait to review it so that I could comment on it’s longevity, but I was so thrilled by my purchase, I couldn’t wait. I immediately opened the box, attached the handle and the nozzle, filled it with water and the cleaner it came with and was on my way. Before getting started, I swept all of the tumbleweeds of German Shepherd hair and surface dirt. This model is much lighter and easier to maneuver than my original model. As I was cleaning, I eagerly watched the tank where the dirty water went, and my, was it dirty! The idea that I had just mopped the day before and the floor was filthy made me feel horrible. What type of squalid conditions had I been subjecting my family to?!! I’m too embarrassed to post a picture of how dirty the water was, but believe me, it was bad. I cleaned the entire downstairs of our home (1300 sq ft) with two tanks of water and cleaning solution. It was so easy, but I took my time letting the machine do it’s work. Based on the other reviews, I bought the extra protection through Amazon, so I’m sure it will last at least until the day after the warranty expires lol. At this price point, if it lasts for three years, I’d be completely fine with that. I’m planning to update this review in a few months or when this thing conks out - whichever comes first. But as for now, take the chance, I think it’s well worth it.

Hi This is review for slightly different model (fh40150rm) not sold on Amazon - I got a refurbished one on a very heavy discount (one day discount) at manufacturer website, but thought I'd write my review here anyways, as I usually goto Amazon to read reviews of items I plan to buy. It may help someone! I do own a popular Hoover steam carpet cleaner and used it to clean both carpets and hardwood floors. However the dislike about it is weight of machine and that the tanks need little more time to clean once job is done. So I decided to try the hard floor cleaner. One concept I like is that clean water is always sprayed on floor, brushes do a good cleaning, and then dirty water is sucked into the discard tank. I do have a o'cedar microfiber mop that does a real good job. Here is a comparison with mop Pros: 1. Machine does not strain the back: you do not need to bend (while mopping) and is not that heavy either 2. The dry setting does a great job - I use it in areas where I feel someone would need to walk over immediately - example kitchen, high traffic areas 3. You can choose not to use the dry mode if you want to let the portion of floor dry over next few minutes - some water does get sucked back in this setting, and also saves time while cleaning as you avoid additional work with dry setting 4. Cord is long enough for working in living room, kitchen and garage 5. Does a good job in garage - picks up sand and granules. I did not need to vacuum the garage prior to cleaning. Really picks up dirt (see picture) as compared to a mop which we rinse in water that gets progressively dirty and use it. Since fresh water is used with spin brushes, the cleaning was really good. I loved walking barefoot in garage after the cleaning was done! 6. Tanks are fairly good in capacity, though little larger would have helped 7. Definitely better than using swiffer or steam mop as my floors often used to be little sticky as dirt/grime used to get pushed around with these Love the feeling of walking barefoot on floors (A steam carpet cleaner can do the same job bit its more bulky) Cons: 1. Use of electricity instead of manual job 2. more time consuming - would not like to do this in routine. Would like to alternate between mop and machine 3. You will need to vacuum the living room/kitchen etc before cleaning with this machine as it will not pick up some items like large bits of potato wafers, bits of paper, peas. However this will definitely suck up the sand granules. (trick- if you see a larger piece of garbage on floor, tilt this machine on its wheel and place the suction area over the larger debris. The machine should then be able to suck that into the tank) Overall a good addition to your machine collection (I now have a steam cleaner, carpet shampoo machine, electric vacuum, battery operated vacuum, and now this one! - the machines are taking over!) Update 22-Mar-2016: Only caution is that some tiles/floor may get minute scratches - I just saw some on tiles in my garage against sunlight. Hence I now plan to alternate between floormate and a microfiber mop (http://www.amazon.com/O-Cedar-Microfiber-Cloth-Mop-Refill/dp/B004V8INWO)

Es mi primera aspiradora y al recibir buenas criticas de la pagina de amazon de EU decidí probar suerte con esta, tengo pisos de azulejo tipo madera en mi casa y el uso del trapeador y la escoba solamente al principio fue suficiente pero con el tiempo empezaron a acumular entre los bordes suciedad que no pude quitar con escoba y trapeador y que solo cepillando se removía. El cepillar todos los pisos de la casa no era algo que me gustaría hacer constantemente para que los pisos amaderados lucieran bien, por lo que adquirí esta aspiradora, y fue una agradable sorpresa ya que con la primera pasada se vio una mejora que si lo hacia con puro trapeador, al pasar la aspiradora cepilla realmente los pisos y los deja muy bien, no tan bien que si pasaras cepillo manualmente. Una de las cosas que me encanto es que ahora no tengo que ensuciarme las manos para secar el trapeador y cambiar el agua constantemente por lo sucia que queda despues de una pasada, ya que la aspiradora cuenta con un tanque para el agua con jabon y otro para recoger la suciedad, por lo que el agua que el piso recibe todo el tiempo es limpia y no agua sucia o medio sucia por las pasadas que se le da con la jerga. La Floormate cuenta con un boton que de acuerdo a las instrucciones se utiliza en los casos en que hay una mancha mas pegada o el piso esta mas sucio sin embargo en mi caso en particular tengo que presionar todo el tiempo este boton ya que de lo contrario no limpia el piso bien, pues por los bordes de los pisos estos absorben mas agua. Por esta misma situación he decidido mejor antes de pasar la aspiradora pasar la jerga rápidamente por el piso para que este se humedezca y al pasar la aspiradora pueda remover mejor la suciedad. Un dia se inundo una de las habitaciones por una fuga y con ayuda de la aspiradora seque inmediatamente, ya me habia pasado alguna vez en otro cuarto por tener mucha presion en la tuberia y para limpiar todo me llevo una hora aproximadamente pero en esta ocasion con ayuda de la aspiradora secar me llevo unos 15 minutos. Por ultimo cabe mencionar que la aspiradora no es capaz de aspirar mas que polvo, pelos de animales cuando mucho, pues si por ejemplo hay un grano maíz palomero este no sera aspirado, por lo que antes de pasar la aspiradora debe pasar la escoba. Después que se acabo el limpiador liquido que viene en el paquete utilicé fabuloso con agua y me funciono muy bien.

Worst and waste....don't buy.......first non return....second no spares and service available in india....even one min its not working.....0 🌟 is not there to give my rating....

Ah, the Hoover FloorMate—the mop that dreams big, tries its best, and occasionally just pees a little when you give it cold water. Let’s start with the positives: this thing cleans like a champ! My floors have never been shinier, and I’m honestly questioning whether I was living in filth before. It scrubs, it vacuums, it dries—all with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever discovering its first snowfall. Bravo, Hoover! Now, the quirks. First, it doesn’t like warm water. At all. Pour in anything more than lukewarm, and it throws a little tantrum, leaking like a nervous intern on their first day. Solution? Treat it like a spa guest and serve only cold water. Then there’s the Clean Boost button, which I suspect was designed by someone who enjoys chaos. Touch it, and you might summon the ghost of all past spills. Water goes everywhere. The floor? Cleaner, yes, but also a slip-n-slide. My advice? Pretend that button doesn’t exist. It also seems to be connected to the system leaking. Despite its little personality quirks, I genuinely love this machine. It has taken my cleaning game to the next level, and I honestly can’t live without it (well, I could, but I’d rather not). Final verdict: 4.5 stars! A lovable, slightly dramatic cleaning companion.

El producto funciona bien con cepillos suaves, pero llego incompleto le falta los cepillos duros y que fue para lo que la compre, llame a las oficinas del catalogo (usa) y me dieron un lada 800 en mexico mas un correo, pero el numero esta fuera de servicio y en el correo aun no contestan, eso desepciona y posiblemente la regresare.

Love the Hoover machine. This is my second one, had the first one for many years, and just wasn't happy with the roller brush of the competition. This model has actual scrubbing brushes that clean grout
