Hoover H3030 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

Pros: Vacuums,washed and dries hard surface floors.
Cons: None

Well, I read EVERY review on the Hoover Floormate Spinscrub 500. Many thumbs up, a few thumbs down. Being less than domestic just the fact that it multi tasks had me at hello. It vacuums, washes and dries the floor?! I'm there. Part of me said "if ...

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

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: Works well if you have smooth hard floors.
Cons: Less effective on uneven floors, requires maintenance.

When we bought our current home, one of it's selling points was that it had hardwwod and tile floors throughout. Unfortunately neither my wife or I hard any real experience in dealing with wooden floors and we made a few mistakes in caring for them ...

Pros: Cleans thoroughly with no dirty residue left behind. Easy to use.
Cons: None

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: Sturdy, well-designed, easy to use, cleans well.
Cons: Not designed for heavy scrubbing.

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, ...

Pros: Cleans floors with fresh water, vacuums debris as it cleans.
Cons: Wish it had a separate scrubbing head for vigorous scrubbing.

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: Easy to use and it WORKS!
Cons: The auto shut-off (waste overflow protection) is a bit sensitive

I just used this on my whole apartment, and I'm VERY happy. If you're the type to mop weekly, then this is probably not going to be up to your high standards. However, if you're like me, and mopping is a semiannual event, you will be very happy with the ...

Pros: Cleans Well, Easy to Use, Beats mopping dirty with dirty water
Cons: Some Streaking. No other.

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 ...

Pros: Picks up a lot of dirt. Folds for storage
Cons: Must run it SLOWLY to work,wastewater tank needs freq. emptying

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: Always clean washing water going onto your floors
Cons: Larger items may not get vacuumed up in dry vac mode

When we moved this past summer I found myself facing a home with all hard floor surfaces. I'd heard decent things about the Hoover Floormate so I went for it. I am ever so glad I did! It is nice to be able to move from room to room without having to ...

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).

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: Gets the floor very clean!
Cons: Not practical if you have more square footage than a closet.

I purchased the SB 500 this weekend and tried it out yesterday. I have approximately 500 square feet of hardwood floors (kitchen, dining, living room, master bedroom) to be cleaned, a small area of ceramic tile and grout at the entryway, and linoleum ...

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

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)

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: Saves time - twice the speed of hand mopping. Gets the floors fairly clean.
Cons: It still takes time to clean floors! Auto-shut-off is annoying for anyone my height (6').

First of all, I disagree with some of the comments that the storage tanks are painfully small and that you can only cover a few square feet on a tank of water. If you experience this, I think you need to re-read the instructions. I can't imagine ...
