Amazon.com Review Creating a new branch in the Hoover family tree while still adhering to the company's reputation for innovation and quality, Hoover's Floor Mate is the ideal machine for anyone who has hard floors (including hard-wood floors, linoleum, tile, and others). A complete floor cleaner--and almost the definition of multifunctional--the Floor Mate vacuums, washes, and dries a floor. It has both wet and dry pickup functionality (you make the choice via a foot-controlled pushbutton), meaning that it combines a broom and a mop, getting rid of the need for dustpans and mop buckets. There are two removable containers on the front of the machine, one that serves as a receptacle for dirt and dust and another that can be filled with floor cleaner. The Floor Mate stands 43-3/4 inches tall, is 11-1/2 inches deep, and has a 20-foot cord, which conveniently wraps on the back. --A.J. Rathbun Take the Work out of Housework! Tired of mopping?

Cannot Live Without By A Customer After using this product for the past three months, I have decided that I could not live without it. I have tile floors in my kitchen and hallway - and the grout had become so dirty and I never felt that mopping was doing much more than redistributing the dirt. It is a pleasure to clean the floor with this machine! I use HOT water which really helps to kill the germs and by taking the dirty water up off the floor after it is scrubbed, it truly gets the dirt up and off the floor. Thirty years of dirt embedded into the grout is coming out - and my once blackened grout is now white again. The other benefit of this is that the floor is dried almost instantly - which prevents my small children from slipping on a wet floor.If this machine ever broke - I would replace it immediately. I put it in the same indispensible categories as my dishwasher, vacuum, and washer/dryer. I recommend this machine - which is especially nice to be able to clean floors such as basement, garage, and other areas where a sink is not available to aid in mopping - besides, this gets it much cleaner. 406 of 417 people found the following review helpful. This review is for the MALE of the species :) By Pruitt Hall Guys,Let's face it. The 'tools' we love are named DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee and Porter Cable. There are many more, but as 'handymen' we can all agree on one thing: Hoover ain't at the top of that list, do you agree? Well, this Floor Mate absolutely deserves to be in the 'way cool and why didn't I think of that first?' category. It is OUTSTANDING!I got my first introduction to the Floor Mate by my better half who came home one day after using one at her friend's house. Now she doesn't get terribly excited about ANY tool, appliance or such life necessities as I do, but she was almost speechless when she got home. 'Honey, you have GOT to see this thing! The floors are spotless, it's easy to use and it WORKS!' Big talk indeed from someone that just HATES vacuuming, so I figured it MUST be better than the average bear. So I tell her, why not ask your friend if we could borrow hers? (Yeah, I'll admit it; it's the male way of decision on major purchases). So she did, brought it home and let me try it.MAJOR IMPRESSED. We have vinyl flooring in the kitchen, wood in entries and hallways and tile in the bathrooms. I tried the Floor Mate on them all and I was simply blown away. Tile is the most notable to see, as the grout just POPS out at you in its cleanliness. If it did NOTHING but tile, it would be worth it. But just change chemicals and it will do your wood floors as well. On EVERY surface I tried it on, it made the floors squeaky clean and a pleasure to not only walk on, but to look at as well.How does it do it? First of all it has a series of scrubbing brushes up front that are quite aggressive in their cleaning action (but aggressive only in getting down to the surface; they're soft enough I'd surmise they'd never hurt a finish). So, it adds a ton of elbow grease for you and never complains. The total way it works, as on a vinyl floor for example, is:--Load cleaning solution in cleaning tank.--Use the Floor Mate on 'Dry' vacuum setting to get up the majority of loose crud.--Using the trigger, apply cleaning solution, while you've got the unit on 'WET Clean' setting. This is the step that dispenses cleaning fluid and scrubs.--Then use 'Wet/Dry' vacuum mode to suck up the liquid. When you're done the floor is ALMOST 90-95% dry; instead of needing a half hour to dry, it's completely dry in under five minutes (and that's being conservative; it's more like 1 minute).This thing must be the best kept secret in housecleaning. It reminds me of a rice cooker. Once you use them, you wonder how you ever did without them. It's a pretty vertical niche application, but what this Hoover Floor Mate does, it does EXCEEDINGLY well.I never thought I'd get
