Hoover H3060 FloorMate SpinScrub 800 Floor Cleaner
: This piece of equipment should have been invented about 50 years ago! I started with the original FloorMate, which was wonderful. This one is even better because it has the wand and attachments. This would also be great for someone in a wheel chair. The cleaning is as good as when you used to get "down on your hands and knees" scrub...and the vacuum part sucks up all that nasty dirt!
I was stupid enough to give Hoover FloorMate an another try. Well, I learned a very expensive lesson AGAIN~! When I first purchased a FloorMate 3000, I was very unhappy. It did not clean at all. The brush was too weak, and lots of water streaks. No power in wet or dry vacuum setting. I have hard floor in my entire house of 2000 Sq Ft. I needed to find me a time effective solution to take care of the floor. I am not shopping for this kind of machine anymore. I found regular sweep and mopping is MUCH BETTER. It is MUCH more Economical, and does a BETTER job. Also, it takes about a same time to do the cleaning. Do NOT get a LAZY idea. Do NOT waste your money. I am telling you~!!! Please learn from a Stupid lesson student. DO NOT DO IT~!!!
I had the old floormate but saw they had a new model with many improvements so i got it. I liked my old one but the pedals were hard to use and it did not have tools. I bought the new $230 model (h3060) and love it. they addresses both of the issues. WAY TO GO HOOVER!
I bought one of these from the local Target (to make return easier) after reading somewhat mixed reviws here on Amazon. I thought $229 for this was pretty expensive; however, I only have two carpeted rooms in my 9 room house and have really wanted to get one of these since I first saw them advertised. The one good thing I can say is that the wet suction is excellent. Problem is, it just doesn't clean well. The "floating" brush heads hardly make contact with the floor and found that on my white kitchen tile floor (I know - I absolutely hate it - white!) it had a hard time just cleaning filmy footprints from tracking in dirt/snow. It does wet vac well and left floor pretty much streak-free, but just doesn't clean well enough. The handheld attachment for grout works well but is not any less work that my old way of grout cleaner and an old toothbrush. I still have not found anything that doesn't leave my laminate floor in the dining room without streaks. I guess this was about the best, but still not impressive enough to spend over $200. This might work well for last second touch-up when company is coming, if they are pretty clean to start with, but for this price it ought to actually clean a dirty floor! It is going back as soon as I can figure out how to refit the pieces back into the packaging.
I just got my SpinScrub 800 today (4-22-05) I have never had more fun cleaning my floors. I have over 600 sq ft of porceilin tile, the Floormate cleaned them all.
As for any new product make sure to read the manual to learn how to operate properly. At first I was using the wrong solution, and brushes. For tile you use the grout solution, and the grey spinscrub brushes.
I have all new tile that had a lot of grout residue, and the SpinScrub 800 took it almost all off. There were a few places that I had to use a rag to get up the heavy grout residue. Overall the machine worked graet.
I have not used the attachments yet, but plan to, and they look like they will do the small corners great.
I would have given it a 5 stars, but they scimped with the cleaning solution. Hoover only gives you two 8 oz bottles for $204.00. They should give you the 32 oz for that kind of money.
I used to use a Siffer Wet Jet, and this does a much better job. Not to mention that the FloorMate does all the work. No more pushing back, and forth (Hard on the Back). I had back surjury six months ago, and I need something that was going to easy to use in a physical sense. The SpinScrub 800 will definately do the job.
I was able to get the Top of the Line model for the same price as the middle model. Amazon had a $25.00 coupon, free shipping, and no tax.
Thanks,
Amazon
