Hoover Floormate H3000

If you're tired of the outdated mop, bucket & manual scrub brush, get a Floormate! You'll never know what dirt & germs you leave behind on your floors after mopping with a regular mop once you use a Floormate. This FM has a 13 inch cleaning path & 6 Spin Scrub brushes that loosen dirt & grime a mop can't touch. It also has powerful suction to dry your floors in less than 1 minute! There are also 15" Widepath models (H3040, H3044, H3045, H3060) & the 13" wide H3050 & 15" H3060 have "tight-area" detail kit for cleaning around bath fixtures & a grout brush for cleaning your shower or tile coutertops. The H3044 & H3060 Floormates also have Spin Scrub grout brushes for tile floors.


Today I won a Hoover Floormate H3000. This is the best of all Floormates because:

1. Parts easy to find


2. Easy to work on/repair


3. Very reliable


4. Most powerful Floormate ever


5. Easier to use than the newer style Floormates (H3040, 3050, 3060)

Although the FMs are expensive, they are worth every $ spent; esp. on higher tier models like the H3050 & H3060. The H2850 is fine for everyday floor washing; but because the H2850 does NOT have rotating brushes like the H3000 thru H3060 do, it can't handle heavier or stuck-on dirt like the Spin Scrub equipped models can. One drawback about the newer style FMs (H3030 thru H3060) is they aren't as durable or reliable as the H3000; but all Spin Scrub equipped Floormates REALLY make hard floors sparkle like magic!

I'll NEVER use a mop again!

So far I have 3 Hoover Floor-A-Matics & 1 Montgomery Ward Scrub & Vac (same as Hoover but branded as Montgomery Ward instead of Hoover) All I need is a new squeegee for the blue FAM since its worn out well.
