Summary: As Borat would say "very nice"
Comment: This thing is loud, but it works. If there's a weakness, it's that the dry vacuum doesn't seem to do too well. But that's what a good sweeping is for, isn't it? I have linoleum, and the H3044 did a fine job. The cleaning solution was pretty filthy when I poured it out after use, both satisfying and repulsive at the same time! It seems that this is a new Hoover model (July 2007), which explains why there are not a lot of reviews to be found online. I wish it could use Pine-Sol, because I have a Costco-sized jug of that stuff on hand already. Will vinegar/water mix work? I have no idea. I don't see why not. I guess the fear is that the gaskets will fail if solvents are used. Guess I'll stick to the Hoover stuff for now. Anyways, it scrubbed my floors quite well, even though they're a bit uneven/warped. The vacuum is great at picking the solution back up. Hope that helps.

Summary: Cleans great!
Comment: Cleans great and uses 3 containers of water/cleaner solution (about half a bucket)for: 2 rooms, 1 kitchen, 2 living rooms. The cord is long enough. I used half of the cleaner, 1oz, and it works fine. At first I did not know why the water wasn't coming out and then I found I wasn't pulling the trigger below the handle. It's nice to see all the dirty water and sediment off your floors. This product really saves your back from traditional mopping and it is nice to know you are not reusing dirty water to mop your floors.

Summary: I LOVE THIS FLOORMATE! :0
Comment: This Hoover H3044 Floormate is absolutely wonderful! My vinyl floor has never been this clean. It was cleaned the day before I used the Floormate using another appliance. I could not believe how dirty and gray the water in the "dirty tank" was. I did vacuum my floor first using my regular Bissell hard floor vacuum. I did not want to use the FloorMate's vacuum feature coz one is supposed to empty the dirty tank and then replace it after vacuuming. It just seemed easier to use my lightweight Bissell for the vacuuming part. I only had to use the Wash feature even thought the FloorMate has three settings: Dry Vac, Wash and Wet Pick Up. The floor was virtually clean and dry using only the Wash feature.
The only objectionable thing is the floor cleaning solution that came with the Floormate. It is cloyingly sweet and very unpleasant smelling. However, the smell dissipates and I cannot smell it now. I called the Hoover helpline and talked with 'Ahmed'. I told him how unpleasant the smell was. I asked if I could use vinegar and water and he assured me that I could use ANY cleaner that is not a solvent (something that becomes sudsy) He even said I could use non-sudsy household
ammonia and water in the clean tank. I had specifically asked about the ammonia in the event I want to strip wax in the future.
I am glad I will be able to use another type cleaning solution. This is a very loud floor cleaner but so much better than the old back-breaking scrub mop and then rinse and rinse and rinse...LOL

Summary: I actually like cleaning my floors now
Comment: I got home and put this thing together as my wife watched. She said why don't you take for a test drive and clean the house. I said no way I'm cleaning the house...cleaning is for women...

As I was cleaning the house I noticed that the water it was picking up was absolutely filthy. The floormate did a great job of cleaning the ceramic tile and vacuming all the specs of junk that end up on the floor. As a dry vacum it worked great...picking up hair and crumbs around the kitchen and miscellaneous stuff off the floor of the kids rooms. One has to move the floor mate a little slower than a regular wet mop...but on the plus side...the drying time for the floor is reduced drastically when you use the wet suction option on the dial.

Overall, you can toss your mops and buckets and use this to vacum daily and to mop the floors however often one mops. I actually look forward to cleaning the floors again.

Summary: Love it, love it, love it
Comment: When you have 5 pets - one of whom has a bladder control problem - and you have both laminated hardwood and tile floors, there had to be something better than a mop or my carpet cleaner to get my the floors clean. WELL, THIS IS IT! It's so easy to use. The three settings allow you to quickly switch between wash, dry, or dry vac. It's lightweight, puts out just the right amount of water, sucks it up fast, and does a great job. When my older dog would have an accident, we would use the dry vac to get up the mess intially, then wash and dry the spot.

My only suggestion (and this has nothing to do with the product) is that if you do use it to clean up pet urine, you take the brushes off and soak them in hot water/bleach at least once a week to keep them sanitized.

I have never been disappointed in any Hoover product I have purchased and this is no exception. It has made my life so much easier!
