Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner Machine FH40160PC | Hoover Renewal Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner AH30428 | Perfect for Tile, Laminate & Hardwood Floors Cleaning

Okay, I've only used it once, but I'm sold. I used this on tile floor in 5 areas on our residence.I bought the deluxe version so that I had the tile and grout brush, along with the wood floor brush, rather than just an all purpose brush that comes with the lower priced model. Also, I bought a bottle of the tile and group cleaner from Hoover, rather than use the all purpose cleaner that comes with the unit.The unit worked great. It was easy to set up, and easy to push around the floor. It has a special cleaning capability on tough spots, and that worked just fine. It also has a dry-only mode, and I only used that on one area. I picks up dirty water as it goes along, and left the floor reasonably dry. You just run the unit over an area a second time without spraying more cleaning fluid, and it picks up the dirty fluid on the floor.And the dirt really came up. I had run our steam cleaner over the floor a month ago, but the floor apparently was in need of a cleaning. The dirty water that is vacuumed up shows you just how much dirt was on the floor. This can help you judge how often you need to clean. If the water comes up fairly clear, maybe you can wait longer, and vice versa.Picking the dirty water up is just about the best feature. No more moving dirt around with a mop, or scrub brush, or steam cleaner. The dirt get vacuumed up, and is gone.Clean up was a snap. Easily rinse the two tanks out. Take off the squeegee thing in the front, and rinse it off. The brushes were not dirty and needed no cleaning, but they come out easily for cleaning, or to swap out another brush type.Although I vacuumed first with a new vacuum, by the way, the FloorMate seemed to pick up even more dust. It showed up on the dirty water tank, and in the squeegee area, as clumps of dirt. I even noticed one small dust clump that vacuuming missed. I watched it get sucked up into the brush area of the FloorMate. It seems to have a pretty good vacuuming ability. There is a filter that the dirty water flows through, but it didn't seem to get very clogged. Rinsing it out was easy too.Okay, there might be one or two criticisms. The power button is mounted pretty low on the unit, not near the handle. I don't like that. Also, it does not have a self-storing cord as on the new Hoover vacuum we bought at the same time. That would be a nice feature. These are not major points though, but I wanted to point them out to be fairAs you can tell, I'm sold. I'll be telling my friends about this. One of my better purchases, for sure.
