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 ... read more

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. ... read more

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

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, ... read more

Cons: Lousy suction and scrubbing.

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

Summary: 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 ... read more

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