This is an interesting vacuum cleaner. A review of hundreds of comments seems to indicate that you either love this machine or you hate it. This is a tricky review – and it could be that consumer’s expectations of a wet/dry vacuum cleaner are quite varied. We see comments that it is too loud, followed by comments that it is fairly quiet, and several buyers feel that it does an excellent cleaning job while others are not as convinced. It may also be (and we have read this too on occasion) that it requires a little practice to learn to use properly and one has to get the settings just right. Having said that, there are clearly more consumers that like the vacuum as seen by the scores in Consumer Rating Table. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009]
The Floormate is a great concept, but it has some flaws. It doesn't always do a great job, dirty floors have to be done multiply times. The brushes are too short to really scrub well. Plastic parts break and it has to be cleaned after every use or it gets GROSS. I do use this in my business, it sure beats mopping, but it could be a better product. I hAVE purchased at least six in the last 10 years.
the concept is there and its a great tool to have but it didnt dry my floors completly dry as promised and i have kids that run around all day long.so it wasnt the solution for me.
