Best "dirty" water
This machine does a great job in cleaning our tile floors. Even when the floor didn't look dirty, the brackish water showed it was! I have to admit that the machine is rather heavy and you have to take your time to push it back and forth slowly, but I don't plan on using this as a weekly cleaner, but rather, maybe once a month. I'm pleased with the round spining action of the brushes as I feel this does a better job than the "forward roll" of the earlier machines. All in all, I'm pleased with it.
Hoover Floor Mate Spin Scrub H3045
One person said "The best thing since sliced bread" This is exactly what I said to my husband when I finshed my floors the first time. I read many reviews on every type and model........I am so pleased I chose this one. I have cleaned my floors on my hands and knees since high school....I want tell you how many years it's been.....I'll just say these bones are not up to this kind of labor anymore :) Not only do my floors look like glass and are by far cleaner than I could have ever done myself with all that labor....I never even broke a sweat. I think the attachments on the larger model sound nice but I clean my floors about every other day......This machine is so light and easy.......With fantastic suction power!! I would purchase this bad boy again and again!!!! The best purchase I have made since the microwave!!!!!!!!!!
Cleans tile well, but don't expect miracles with grouting
I have used the Floormate for 6 months and it cleans our tile floors well. It limits the yucky build up of dirt and soap that darkens grout but the Floormate (and really no household machine) can clean grout -- hand scrubbing is the only remedy for this problem. Because I do not like to leave a soap residue on my floors, I spray my floors first with a floor cleaner (I use one of the enzyme pet cleaners because I have four dogs) and I place clean water in the Floormate's tank and use that to rinse away the cleaner I sprayed on the floor. Finally, the machine does a nice job of removing the residual water on the floor.
HOOVER H3045 FloorMate
This machine performs as though it has been refurbished, although I purchased it as a new machine. The recovery tank never completely fills to allow the automatic suction shut-off to activate. The reason I believe, is because the dirty water leaks on the tile floor when the recovery tank is about half full. Another problem or "feature" is that the machine is impossible to move when the tiles are dry. Is this deliberately designed, or is it a defect? This is the second time that I've used this machine, and I'm tempted to use a mop the next time. At least the floor appears clean enough to overcome the frustrations.
Works well, questionable longevity
Just picked up one of these machines today, it works very well but feels cheaply made. The body is made out of flimsy lightweight plastic. One reviewer noted that the vacuum feels heavy but in fact it is very lightweight when empty. It does however feel heavy when you use it because the suction is so powerful it creates alot of friction. The machine is definitely not underpowered, lets just hope the motors are sturdier than the plastic exterior!
One thing to note is that to really get a good cleaning with no residue you have to move quite slowly and methodically, this is not necessarily a flaw with this product but is just due to the nature of wet vacuuming, either way it is certainly much faster than mopping or scrubbing by hand.
Pros:
* Powerful motor, strong enough to suck the dirt
out of the crevices in porous natural stones such as
tumbled marble and travertine
* Deep clean, works with most types of cleaning solution
* Doesn't scratch my hardwoods
* Long power cord
Cons:
* Flimsy plastic body
* Questionable longevity
* Dirty reservoir could be a bit larger
Overall, I'd say the pros outweigh the cons, it will save you a lot of time if you are somewhat anal about having clean floors like I am.
