Pros: Does clean pretty well, lightweight, easy to assemble/maintain
Cons: Price, cleaning after each use, vacuum doesn't suck, solution tank is small and not heated
Summary: I have been very hesitant to purchase the Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub 500 because of the hefty price tag -- $170. $170? This thing is essentially a mop and Hoover wants $170 for it? While I'm all about convenience and ease, I just simply wasn't ...

Pros: Everything!Saves time(even if you take it slower),saves your back, knees and arms. Deep Cleans
Cons: Couldn't find any!
Summary: I have approx 2300 sq feet of laminate wood floors in my house, 2 dogs and a hubby that fishes and hunts every chance he gets. There are always foot prints, paw prints and dirt being tracked through the house. I needed help keeping up with the floors! ...

Pros: Cleans excellent
Well Constructed sturdy and fit parts
Easy to use and maintain
Cons: Expensive
The older 3000 cleans a bit better
Hoover brand cleaning solution not very good
Summary: I bought the SC 500 after using my sisters older 3000 model thinking this one was better as it is a newer model. I was wrong. The older model seem to vacuum-up the solution better and the brushes were far more aggressive in scrubbing my laminate floor. ...

Pros: Great cleaning ability, wide cleaning path, makes scrubbing floors a thing of the past.
Cons: Dry suction, cleaning the tank, noise level, loss of suction (but easily restored)
Summary: I've had this little gem for about a year now. It keeps my grout looking new! I used a 20% off coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond and got it for a great price. I don't think you can go wrong with the 20% off coupons! The pros - the floor mate does a ...

Pros: Definitely cleans the floors and is very lightweight and easy to operate.
Cons: Cord unruly. Annoying to rinse containers after every use (but makes sense).
Summary: We bought the Floor Mate last night and brought it home to our new, but very old and dirty house. After reading several reviews and seeing that the Floor Mate outperformed the other floor cleaners, we thought we'd give it a try. I am pleased to report ...

Pros: Cleans floors with fresh water, vacuums debris as it cleans.
Cons: Wish it had a separate scrubbing head for vigorous scrubbing.
Summary: I've had two of these machines. The first model didn't scrub, I now have this scrubbing model. With tile and hardwood floors throughout my house, and no carpet, this has been my best choice so far. Most machines gear towards homes with carpet, which ...

Pros: No more dirty mops pushing around dirty water.
Cons: Still have to sweep the floor of Cheerios.
Summary: Do you like to mop? Of course you don't. You're reading this review because you are tired of the mopping and the messy water buckets. Which is exactly what I did before making this purchase. So let me cut to the chase so you can go out and buy one ...

Pros: Cleans very well
Cons: Time consuming to use, vacuums poorly
Summary: Since I got 3 kids I figured I should simplify my life with the Hoover Floormate. I hated to carry the heavy water bucket and having a wet floor and dry it on my knees. Well, this is over now but instead I have to carry a heavy machine and have to ...

Pros: Sturdy, well-designed, easy to use, cleans well.
Cons: Not designed for heavy scrubbing.
Summary: I've have this for several months and use it on my kitchen's tile floor. Bear in mind, though, that this is not designed nor sold as an industrial-strength scrubber. If you have embedded grout dirt you'll have to look elsewhere to get it out. However, ...

Cons: Gasket/return tank must be in place correctly.
Summary: The Household: 4 dogs, 3 cats, 6 kids. House flooring: linoleum and peel/stick tile The dilemma: Due to the dogs coming in and out in our house, and leaving muddy paths, we ripped up the white carpet and put down faux-wood tile. The ...

Pros: Easy on the body. More sanitary than using a mop. Cleaning is easy.
Cons: Lousy suction and scrubbing.
Summary: I was looking for an item like this because I was wanted to replace my old hard floor vac from bissell and I don't like having to keep buying pads for my swiffer. So I figured an all in one machine would be great. The old bissell was not picking up so ...

Pros: Leaves tile floors cleaner than a traditional mop and bucket cleaning
Cons: Cleaning solution could smell a little more pleasant.
Summary: I had initially purchased the Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub 500 because my boyfriend's mother absolutely loved it. After using it once, I am as equally elated. I live in an apartment with 800 square feet of white, ceramic tile. Between the shedding of my ...

Summary: We have a very large kitchen and laundry room, both sporting old embossed vinyl floor tiles. Traffic is heavy through these rooms from the garage and the yard. For five years now I have mopped, I have scrubbed on my hands and knees, I have Swiffered and ...

Pros: Picks up a lot of dirt. Folds for storage
Cons: Must run it SLOWLY to work,wastewater tank needs freq. emptying
Summary: This product looked so great, I had to try it. Our house has all hard woods on the first level. They are badly in need of being refinished, so I never feel they look "clean." I have tried Orange Glo, etc and nothing really did the trick. I bought the ...

Pros: Cleans Well, Easy to Use, Beats mopping dirty with dirty water
Cons: Some Streaking. No other.
Summary: OVERVIEW: This is a great floor cleaner, hands down. My wife and I love it and will never go back to mopping. It is important to have clear expectations of what the unit can and can not do. This isn't Harry Potter and the machine isn't magic. If ...
