 Not for GroutJul 25, 2010
I really needed to find a cleaner that would clean grout since my whole house is basically tile. I have used the shark hand steamer with the scrub brush with great results but it was so labor intensive that it took nearly 4 hours to do 10 square feet. We also have the shark steam mop that cleans the floors so well, but does zero for the grout. I thought this Floormate would be a good way to solve me problem of dirty grout without killing myself. Even with the grout solution and special grout brush, the grout was not cleaned even the tiniest bit. I tried applying pressure to the head with my foot and that helped a wee bit, but it still wasn't clean. Then I dipped a toothbrush directly in the grout cleaner and scrubbed lightly and that worked pretty well and then went back over it with the Spin Scrub and got good results, but that kind of defeats the purpose if I have to do that. BUT I learned the grout solution could work if the brushes actually hit the grout, which they don't and they aren't firm enough to do give a good scrub even if they did. The grout solution smelled an awful lot like Windex to me so I decided I decided to dip the toothbrush in Windex and scrub the grout. It worked just as well and then I wiped it up with a clean cloth. So the grout cleaner works, but so does Windex! I will say this for for the Floormate 3044, it does clean the tile really well. And there is no doubt about it, so if grout is not your concern then I am certain you will love this Floormate. It makes cleaning so much more efficient since you can vacuum and mop at the same time, without using the same dirty water. But if you have other floor cleaning devices, and are looking for a way to clean your grout this will not do it. It seems a scrub brush and hard work is the only solution for getting grout clean.
 very dissatisfiedJul 18, 2010
I ordered 2 of these because my sister-in-law and I just had laminate wood look flooring installed in most of the rooms in our homes.
Hers was installed professionally, mine was a family project. I only say this to qualify my findings.
She has not said much, and as it was a gift, only said it worked (washing feature) ok on her inlaid 12" kitchen tiled floor: this said she still has her old wet mop sitting there. She also said it works "ok" to vacuum the dog hair, but she still uses a wet flat mop to do that. (Feel free to take you own guess as to why she still has all of her old utensils out.) I have linoleum instead of tile:in all applications it is hopeless. As it the sweeps, it blows most of the dust and dog hair away from it instead of sucking it in. The "moping" feature is, I am guessing here, too high up from the floor and no matter which way you turn the direction of sweeping, it doesn't touch the floor.I have the same problem as others have noted as far as the spray not working correctly. I started just using squirt stuff right in front of it applied by me with a spray bottle, yet the mop didn't clean anything. I tried it slow, fast, handle tiled down, straight up-- all but stood on my head, and nothing i did made it any better. I had a neighbor look at the directions, and my instillation of the rotary brushes to make sure I had done it correctly. He redid it, but said it looked fine to him, and afterwords I tried it again and got the same results. Very expensive error in judgment on my part - I ordered it ahead of time for Christmas-Nov birthday and didn't take them out and try them right away. Also managed to lose track of the paper work. Otherwise I certainly would have returned them. Mine is going into the church garage sale--sad :-(
I hate using this thingJul 15, 2010
I have had this floor cleaner for a long time and it's awful to use. My whole house has laminate floors. This floorcleaner is heavy and awkward. It sucks up the dirt/dust, but I have to constantly change the water and it takes time to do that. Any spot or item suck to the floor, scuffs or dried food, for example, doesn't come off. I have to get down and scrub at it myself. Plus it's terribly noisy. It's so awful to use that I have been using Wet Swiffer mops instead. Those work MUCH better at getting the spots off the floor. I'm looking into getting the Eureka Envirosteamer and I'm throwing the Hoover Floormate in the trash.
Great Household Helper!Jul 10, 2010
This machine does a great cleaning job! The only trouble I found with it is that the cord tends to get in the way & has to be handheld. It does not have the water capacity that I think it should- needs to be refilled several times while cleaning my tile floors; it is still way better at its job than a handheld mop!
 Fantastic Floor MateJul 03, 2010
This is a great machine. Sames so much time and back bending. Have ceramic tile through the whole house, and I am a slave to it most times. This cleans the grout and everything in a quarter of the time. I will never be with out one now.Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner, H3044
