Buying Hoover H3060 Floormate Spinscrub 800 Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Tools

You have no idea how much I wanted to really love this machine. I have 3 dogs, 1800 square feet of tile, a bum knee, and bad wrists. This seemed like a great solution I could really love. It ended up being a love hate relationship. There is about as much good as bad.

As far as getting my floor clean, it really does a good job. All the dirt is gone. I checked with clorox wipes and found absolutely no residue on the floor. I cannot get that with hand mopping unless I change the water every 3 mintutes. I am able to accomplish this very effective cleaning without hurting my writs by scrubbing or killing my knee on my hands and knees. It is also extremely simple to fill and empty the canisters. That's about where the love ends and the hate begins.

It takes me longer to use this than the old routine of Swiffering every where (and I still have to Swiffer under sofas, etc to get the errant dust bunnies so they don't hop out later) and then mopping with wash cloths all over the floor.

My arms get sore from pushing and pulling after a while so I cant do the whole house at once. You laugh, but imagine vacuuming a big house 4 or 5 times (which is what you do to vacuum, mop and dry the floor) and see if your arm doesn't get tired!

There is only one cleaner I can use with it and I hate that. I cannot find it anywhere around here that I would normally shop. Thank goodness it came with 2 little starter bottles.

Even though the motor is plenty strong, the brushed are pretty wimpy because they are designed to be safe for wood floors. I'd like a lot more umph on my tile if you know what I mean.

Are your floors perfectly flat? No? Neither are mine. This means some spots don't get as dry. This is especially true around the grout, though overall drying time is OK.

Finally (and this is what bothers me most) I can see circular marks all over my beige tiles when the sun hits them. This takes away from the fact that they are clean signifigantly. Who wants swirl marks all over the place??

If I had not chucked the packaging, I would haul this thing back to Costco and buy some really nice knee pads!!Get more detail about Hoover H3060 Floormate Spinscrub 800 Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Tools.
