Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Vacuum and Washer

Coffee with Books: Pros: Works well, cleans and sucktions off water nicely.
Easy to fill and empty.
Cleans a fair amount of flooring on each tank.
Major Plus: The floor is cleaned with the clean water tank and you are not using dirty water to try to clean the floor.

Cons: Could be a little better on maneuverability.
Does not clean right up to the edge.

Overall I like it and I would buy it again.

Greta Mogollón: No solo limpia, PULE EL PISO. Si tienes manchas en le piso que con nada haz podido eliminar, maravillosamente en segundos se eliminan. Trae cepillos que tallan super fuerte, y levantan todo. NO LA RECOMINEDO YTILIZAR DE DIARIO, PODRIA DAÑAR LOS PISOS. Es muy pesada, así que yo utizo faja para evitar un accidente. No cabe debajo de camas, sillones ni muebles, hay que mover todo. No permite se quede absolutamente nada, puedes pasar una servilleta después después de limpiar y saldrá blanca sin impureza alguna. Es de uso semi industrial. NO TRAE RODILLO PARA LIMPIAR, SON CEPILLOS MUY FUERTES, Y MUCHA POTENCIA. Hay que lavarla muy bien después de usar, para que no se dañe ya que el plástico podrá detereriorarse.

Alma: Deja los pisos muy limpios incluso cuando aparentemente están limpios. Ahorras agua y sobre todo no tienes que estar cambiando constante mente el agua de la cubeta que se contamina

Pamela: Totally love this updated model. We had one for years at another home and used it mainly for our entrance way & kitchen tile floor. With 3 dogs and a lot of foot traffic given the central location in our home, it got a lot of hard use and served us well. That model had a much smaller container for the cleaning liquid so it required multiple refills to finish the floor. It really never stopped working, we just decided it was time to let it go so it didn't make the move with us. The new model we just received has a larger container for the cleaning fluid and works great! We have a lot of tile floors as we are in south Florida now and I didn't but this right away -- so I just used a manual spray/push mop and soon decided that was ridiculous :) In looking at all the different floor cleaners available, I decided once again this was the best bang for your buck! Certainly cuts the time in half and much easier on your back than a manual mop! This is worth every penny and a lot of bang for your buck without going to a more expensive machine. I usually sweep up at least in the kitchen first, so I don't expect this to be a vacuum cleaner, but it does have enough suction and pull up...

Adana Construction Ltd: When I purchased this, I honestly did not expect a lot from a consumer grade floor scrubber.
I was considering purchasing a professional unit for my business but thought I would try this first and it has been surprisingly good.
I was very impressed with how much gray water it pulled out of my floors, especially after washing them with a mop. After repeated go rounds, it kept on extracting gray water, which was very impressive. My floors look much better, and are obviously much cleaner so I would have to give this between four and five stars but I don’t know how long the machine will last being consumer grade.

CACA: We inherited an old linoleum floor in our kitchen. It had an embossed design and dirt had embedded itself into the low points of the design. The areas with the most traffic held the most dirt (around the fridge, in front of the fridge, in front of the stove, path from the back door). I tried the machine directly on the high traffic areas and although it cleans very efficiently, and sucks up most of the dirty water after it has been over an area, it did not take out much of the ingrained dirt. My husband then took a long-handled scrub brush to the floor, using the same cleaning fluid, and I followed along behind with the Hoover. This worked very well. After that, in preparation for applying linoleum acrylic sealer we washed the floor with water. He mopped and I followed along behind with the Hoover. This worked very efficiently.
PROS:
long cord and place to wrap it on the handle
efficiently sucks up any standing water on a floor
easy to maneuver
holds a lot of cleaning fluid and water mixture
clean and dirty water tanks are easy to remove to empty and fill
visible evidence of the dirt being removed in the dirty water tank
strong suction
easy to...

Diana: Was five star, down to four less than 2 years later. Should probably be down to three or two, to be honest. (Incidentally, all the carpet is now removed. Original review below my latest comments).

I got this in thing in September 2016 and it is an absolute lifesaver. I have since seriously injured my knee so some of the alternatives (such as doing 2000 square feet of uncarpeted house on my hands and knees, or scrubbing for hours with a deck brush) is simply no longer an option.

This thing, for the price and cleaning power, is amazing. It *scrubs* the floor, it sucks and squeegees the water up, and it holds a decent amount of solution and water. I've been known, when doing the entire house, to toss a 5 gallon bucket of water and cleaning solution on the floor, and use this to scrub and suck up the dirt and water, dump the wastewater in the bucket and then just dump the bucket all at once. Truly, it's amazing, it's a lifesaver, it cleans well, and I'll replace it.

Because I will have to replace it. Because it's made very, VERY poorly. *V-E-R-Y* poorly. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the machine simply stops working with no warning. Many of my friends...
