Pros: Scrubs well and sucks up the water well.
Cons: A bit heavy to push when sucking up the water
First of all, I'm asking a lot of the Floormate! I bought the Hoover H3060 Floormate to clean tile floors in my basement where one of our cats likes to pee. Unfortunately, I cannot get rid of the cat so I needed something to clean up after him. Regular mops seemed to just spread it around and the basement always smells like pee. It didn't occur to me that you could buy a hard floor cleaner similar to a carpet cleaner so when I saw the Floormate on Amazon I read the reviews to see if it seemed like it would work well for my purpose. A couple of people commented that it helped clean the floors at their kennel businesses so I thought it might be good for cleaning my basement floors.
It arrived today and I tried it out. I did not use the Hoover cleaning liquid but instead filled it with one of those special cleaners for pet messes and with hot water. The Floormate did a good job of scrubbing and it easily and quickly sucked up the water from the floor. In fact, one time when I was emptying the dirty water container I accidentally spilled it all over the floor and the machine easily picked that up. The used water was pretty filthy so I'll take that as a sign that the machine worked well. The regular machine doesn't reach quite all the way to the edges of the floor (leaves about 1/4") but the attachment tools should help with that.
It's a little hard to push when you're using the dry cycle but otherwise it's about like using a regular vacuum cleaner. Switching between vacuum, clean, and dry is easy with just the turn of a knob. I've only used it once so far but the Floormate appeared to do a good job of really getting into the grout between the tiles, even without using the special grout tool or cleaner. If the condition of the dirty water is any indication, it did a pretty good job. Over time we'll see if it eliminates the smell in the basement and makes my life easier.
On another note, I bought the Floormate that came with the tools because I hope to use it to clean the shower. Hopefully it will work well for that and make spending the extra money on the tools worthwhile.

This is a great lil' cleaning machine. I read these reviews intensely before buying and must say I'm totally pleased. My house is 2800 sq ft heated and only the bedrooms and office are carpeted. This is a must have for wood, tile and vinyl floors in my opinion. Fill up the tank, Run the vac, Run the wash, Run the dryer, Empty the tank.... behold dry, PRISTINE floors. Sounds like a lot of steps, but I'm assured I'm not walking around on dried dirty mop water. The vacuum is great for everyday once-overs, to keep down on dust and pet hair.
I'm giving away my old swiffer vac... and the dry and wet pads I continuously went through.
really.... LOVE IT!!!!
Semi-Cons:
Smaller Tank - but really who wants to deal with pushing around gallons of water. The tank will clean 1 to 2 standard room or 2 to 3 bathrooms.
Vacuum - perfect for dust, dirt, hair and "light" items, but don't expect it to replace a regular vacuum.
Timing - the whole process may seem longer than say a swiffer or mop (not that big a difference), but the results are cleaner and quite shiny.
Flat Surfaces - it takes longer and is less efficient on my grooved/jagged tiles.
Corners - your still probably going to have to whip out a sponge to get the crannies, hopefully your room is octagonal.
Anyone who is complaining about the above items is totally missing the convenience of the all in one features and the reality that this machine not only scrubs but picks up the nasty water a mop would leave behind. In fact I'm sure they do not have the OCD tendencies I have. I'm amazed by the drying!!! I didn't have any problems with shipping or what have you... if it breaks I'd be willing to buy another. Haven't used the tools yet... but they were not the main reason I bought the machine.

I have been very pleased with this product. My house is 100% laminate wood flooring and I use this floormate for once a week "deep" cleaning. As some of the other reviews have mentioned, you don't get the best results if you are trying to rush and are moving too quickly. I have great results if I take my time. Its easy setup and easy use. The fact that it vacuums, washes, and dries in one is perfect for me and it stores nicely with the fold-down handle. I have not used any of the attachments yet.
On the flip side, this machine is not ideal for corners and small crevaces. Being that I use this for my entire house though, it is perfect for me and I can use some other means for corners and whatnot that this machine can't reach.
Overall, very pleased.

Our home has mostly tile floors. Mops are inefficient and hands-and-knees scrubbing with rags is just too difficult. I'd love to find a true steam cleaner that would really clean the floor and pick up the water, but they just don't exist. The Hoover is a decent vacuum, and it will actually do some scrubbing and then leave the floor comparatively dry. It still takes some effort and it won't save you a lot of time, but it does get you off your knees. A mop just seems to smear the dirt around and not really pick it up. I can walk barefoot on my floors after using the Hoover, and it really does feel cleaner. The tool caddy is kind of an abomination and not very well designed, but it works. I'm still looking for a good steam cleaner, but this will suffice until I find one.

Definitely a notch or two better than a mop, but not a miracle machine. I like that it has rotating scrub brushes for thorough cleaning and that, for the most part, it sucks up the dirty water. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably purchase this item. But it's not the world's greatest, if you know what I mean...
