Works as hard as I do.....:
Super fast shipping, 3 days. Used it today and it did what I wanted. Scrubbed the floors, wood and tile, and throughly picked up every drop of solution. I had the older floor-mate and it was used up. WOW this is sooooo great. Love the new and improved recovery tank as it comes apart for easier cleaning. Good job.

Perfect for those with young children and pets!:
With a toddler, cat, dog, 160sf kitchen, and 3 bathrooms this machine gets a weekly workout in my house. I LOVE IT!!! I hated cleaning the floor before owning this, now I find excuses just to get it out and use it. My son was crawling at the time I first purchased it. I was grossed out by how dirty his knees and hands were after crawling around all day... I never took note until then how dirty my floors were. This cleans up every thing my son tosses on the floor within minutes (watermelon, rice, juice, oatmeal, etc). Sticky messes are no more in my house. I also LOVE how it easily glides under the kitchen cabinets and how close it gets to an edge. I also use it in the bathroom and it is great for picking up hair, short or long. Like a previous post said, this is perfect for floor maintenance. I still need to get on my hands and knees every so ofter and clean out the corners with a scrub brush but I'd need to do that with a mop too. But no mess is too big or too small. It is just as easy to get this out as any vacuum would be. I actually think this gets my floor cleaner than any mop or scrub brush I used before. I would think my floor was fairly clean, use it to clean a small spill then continue cleaning the kitchen's entire floor since I had it out and find the water filthy in the chamber. My only con is I wish the container that you put the cleaning solution in had a lid that really locked and sealed. The cap just kinda sits on top and I've had some spills carrying the full container from the sink to the machine. Well worth every cent.

Great for Hard Surfaces!:
I've had the Hoover Floormate (red) for several weeks now. I loved it. I won't ever go back to regular sweeping and mopping again. My husband and I just purchased our first home. It's new and I wanted to "prevent" the floor from becoming stained. We have tile in kitchen, foyer, hall way, landry room, and two bathrooms. I can run the sweeper option and afterward walk across the floor and feel nothing under my feet. It really sucks up the pet hair. I have a Great Dane that stays in the landry room when where away and the floormate sucks up all the pet hair she leaves behind. It's hard to do that with a regular broom because it just gets pushed around and gets released into the air. It's also nice to mop (don't know if I would call it that with new way of doing it). After the cleaner is release and the scrub brushes do their job the floormate just sucks up all the dirt and cleaner left behind. After I do this it might take maybe a minute for the floor to be dry! Great with pets because the first thing they want to do after you mop the floor is walk on it and leave their paw prints behind. I gave the floormate 4 stars because it does take a little time to clean the floors. You can't rush the process. The slower you move the cleaner your floors will be. This is more with the mopping feature. With sweeping you can moved at a normal pace. Not a problem for me. Using the floormate is a lot easier and cleaner than using a traditional broom and mop. Like some of the other reviews, I also only use less of the cleaner than they recommend. If you use the recommended amount you see what I'm talking about. The cleaner smell is to strong. I use about 3/4-1 oz. It's also nice because there is a built in measuring cup- connected to the nob that opens the cleaner/water tank. I would recommend this product to anyone who has hard floor surfaces in their home. This would be a great wedding or house warming gift.

Not as great as the first model:
I owned the very first model of the floor mate and loved it more than anything. I tried out this one today and I couldn't even push the darn thing across my floor no matter what setting it was on. The rubber part where it sucks the water up is way too long. I ended up cutting the rubber just to make it move. Once I did that it works great but the original model is by far the best one yet. Never lay the floormate down with water in it. It spills immediately.

Awesome floor cleaner:
This cleaner works so much better than a mop, and it's easier to use. With one quart of water we can clean about 500 sq feet of tile. And it does a great job of cleaning. The floors feel clean for about one week. The really nice thing is that you're always using clean water, as opposed to using a mop; with a mop, you're always putting dirty water back on the floor. I strongly recommend this floor cleaner.
