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

UPDATE DECEMBER 2006: If I could give this product zero or negative stars, I would.

Initially, I thought it was going a fairly decent job at cleaning my bamboo wood floors, and at least saving me effort with the wet pick-up function.

However, after noticing many dirty spots remaining after the cleaning cycle, and going back over the "missed" spots repeatedly, I realized that the brushes didn't even touch the floor surface; all the brushes do is swirl the cleaning solution around, creating a thin layer of foam on the floor, but they don't actually SCRUB. I tested this theory by placing a sheet of ordinary plain copy paper on the floor, saturating it with the cleaning solution, and "cleaned" over it with the FloorMate... the paper didn't move; the brushes never touched it. I re-read the instructions, thinking there was some adjustment I was unaware of, but there is no way to adjust the height of the brush assembly. It's prepositioned, stationary, and you cannot change it up or down.

After having to go back over the supposedly cleaned areas with a cloth or regular mop, I gave-up and just threw this piece of junk in the recycle bin. A total disappointment and waste of money.





Right out of the box, I hate the Accessory Tote. It's one of the most poorly designed accessories of this type that I've seen. It's bulky, over-sized for no good reason, and virtually useless. It would be easier to carry the few extra tools by hand or tucked under your arm rather than lug this stupid thing around the house. The product description and illustration in the Manual gives the impression the Tote fits onto the machine for storage; it doesn't, it simply sits on the floor relatively close to the machine. It could very easily have been designed to be much more compact and to actually fit onto/connect to the machine for storage and portability; or, the machine could be designed with individual storage areas for each accessory tool, just as are most upright vacuum cleaners.

Other than that, this machine performs fairly well and is much better than the mop-and-bucket method for cleaning hard surface flooring.Get more detail about Hoover H3060 Floormate Spinscrub 800 Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Tools.
