I use mine about twice a month on hardwoods. You will be surprised at how dirty the water is. I use the floor to floor cleaner by Hoover, but plain warm water works just fine. The brushes work so well. Happy cleaning. Tim |

Congratulations Bobby, I know you have been wanting one for a long time. I want one to. A few years ago I got the Kenmore Evo (aks. DirtDevil floor cleaner) because it was on sale for 80 bucks, Its similar to the FM but the brushes arn't as good. Its about 8 years old so as soon as I get some $$$ Ill get a floor Mate. Happy scrubbing =) |

And not to be left out, those of us in the UK can get the same thing under the Vax name, and looking at their website they have it at £99.99, £50 off the regular price of £149.99: CLICK HERE TO GO TO twocvbloke's LINK |

I won a H3060 on eBay & should be on its way to my door by next Friday. I'll post updates (pics, YT vid) once the FloorMATE gets here. |

I wonder why they don't have a SpinScrub tool for those tight spaces? Hoover should make them, & it'd be nice. |

It takes a while to get used to using the FloorMate's tools since U have to tip up the swivel nozzle to vacuum the water from floor or mirror; & doesn't dry as good as the main nozzle. |
