We're a 2 person 2 cat 1 wheelchair household. We track in a lot of dirt and mud (especially with my wheelchair). After reading the reviews on the Hoover H3000 Floormate, (pros and con's) we decided to go up one step as the info on the box mentioned many things that would have made even the people giving negative reviews on the 3000 Floormate happy. There is a new grout cleaner attachment and hose/extension wand attachment for vacuming and wet cleaning that works great. We don't have much grout, just in our bathroom. We do have sealed hard wood floors through most of the house and either tile or vinyl in the rest. All we want is to keep it clean with minimum work. The idea of mopping the old fashioned way just seems outdated and it really doesn't get things clean when you put dirty water back onto the floor. This though was a splurge - meaning it isn't necessary to life, it's a convenience.
Wow, are we impressed! We expected the vacuum to not be powerful but it is! It picked up everything, cat food, people food, cat hair, dust bunnies, cat litter, you name it. Then, you simply dump the dry crud out of the bottom refuse tank and add water and cleaner to the top tank. Then just wet clean. It's a fantastic change from lugging around a mop and bucket of any kind. It gets our floors squeeky clean and shiny. We both have asthma and THIS enables us to clean more often. We run it on dry almost every day and on wet a couple times a week at least, aside from picking up spills. I can't tell you what a change this is. We've gone from barely keeping up with the floors to a "eat off the floors mama would be proud" type of clean. Best part is it only takes about 10 - 15 minutes to complete both the vacuum and wet cleaning.
Perfectionist alert - We left our italian marble floors, perfect grout etc for the maid in our mansion in Florida. (joking) If you want perfection with grout or anything it takes more than any machine normally, it takes a person with a toothbrush you pay to clean it. Do yourself a favor and do what my grandmother did for 20 years and use a solution of bleach and water and just pour it on it, it gets white in a minute with no scrubing. Of course, colored grout is a different matter.
No machine will be perfect. This though does the job you buy it for - to clean floors. It's great for everyday normal families and anyone who doesn't expect perfection. As for the review before this one that says the suction is bad and the brushes don't work, they must have bought a defective machine because this one works perfectly and cleans great. We're never going back to mopping with a mop and bucket again.Get more detail about Hoover H3060 Floormate Spinscrub 800 Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner with Tools.
