Hoover H3010 Floor Mate Plus SpinScrub Hard-Floor Cleaner

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

The Hoover H3010 Floor Mate Plus SpinScrub Hard-Floor Cleaner:
The Hoover SpinScrub works create for hard floor surfaces like stone, wood, and laminate floor. It uses 6 scrubbing brushes to clean hard floor surfaces with either lysol or old english solutions. Some of the great features of the Hoover Floor Mate Plus is it’s extra long cord, light-weight body, and easy to remove tanks with cleaning solutions. If your home of full of tile, wood, or other hard surface, this is a great vacuum to replace the old mop and bucket. I was reluctant to believe that a vacuum could take the place of elbow grease and the mop, but this machine seems to clean the floor just as well as I can with the mop with alot less effort and back pain.

The one complaint I have is that every now and then when emptying the tank, a little water will spill from the vacuum. It isn’t a lot, but you may need a paper towel or two handy.

If you want or own this vacuum, you may also need an extra

Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner (F6215-900)

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

This Hoover vacuum is better than a regular vacuum cleaner, its a carpet cleaner that uses five scrubbing brushes and steam to deep clean your carpet. Most depp cleaning carpet vacuums are large and difficult to manuever around furniture, but not the Hoover SteamVac. The Hoover SteamVac is lightweight and has a low profile so it can fit around and under furniture. The unit even has folding handles so that it takes up less space in your closet. My favorite thing about this vacuum is that both the clean and dirty canisters are so easy to both set up for cleaning and empty when your done. Before the SteamVac, cleaning my carpets meant renting a bulky carpet cleaner and spending the day moving furniture, cleaning, and a sore back from the vacuuming with a cumbersome and heavy cleaner. I would definately recommend the SteamVac to anyone with lots of carpet. The Hoover SteamVac will clean your carpet so well, you won’t believe how dirty the carpet actually was.

The one thing I should point out about this hoover vacuum, is that although compared to many steam cleaners, especially those available for rent, it is relatively light weight, it is definately heavier than your regular vacuum cleaner and it will feel quite heavy if used on stairs.

Hoover WindTunnel Electronic Bagless Canister Vacuum (S3765-040)

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

This Hoover vacuum is a bagless canister with wind tunnel technology. Not too long ago I was looking for a canister vacuum and I leanred one thing about canisters- it is hard to find a good canister vacuum under $200. That’s why this Hoover canister is such a great find. This vacuum includes a HEPA filter, one year warranty, ergonomic handle design, and of course Hoover’s patented wind tunnel technology. This canister vacuum has excellent suction. It leaves carpets looking plush and new, and works well on pet hair. Yet because of it’s canister design and high suction it is also great for hard floor surfaces. This vacuum comes with attachements that are easy to change out, and each attachement is useful and serves it’s purpose. One thing I love about the telescoping wand on this Hoover is that you can press on, off, or change suction right on the handle. The bagless dirt container is easy to empty and doesn’t leave a mess. One more useful feature is that it has a long power cord with a foot pedal to wind it back into the vaccum when you are done. The one thing that could be improved upon is the dirt collector. As I said before, it is easy to change and doesn’t make a mess like lots of bagless vaccums, but there is no sensor to tell you when the collector is full. Also, the canister needs to be emptied somewhat frequently, about once every 3 weeks to a month - depending on how often you vacuum. Although, these are minor problems, and aren’t worth the extra $300 to me. If you are looking for a great canister vacuum, especially if you have hard floor or a variety of floor surfaces, and don’t want to spend a fortune, this is the perfect vacuum for you.

Hoover Floormate H3000 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

Friday, January 13th, 2006

The Hoover Floormate works on hard floor surfaces and it cleans both wet and dry. To use the hoover floormate vacuum first you vacuum up the dirt, dust, etc. with the dry side. Then, you use the wet side of the hoover floormate to scrub floors with special cleaning liquid. Lastly, you can vacuum up the excess liquid left behind. One draw back of the hoover floormate is that you must buy the special cleaning fluid, which tends to be expensive. The hoover floormate is still a great solution for anyone who has a house full of hard floor surfaces. It tends to work especially well on hard wood floors. The hoover floormate is faster and easier than traditional mopping. However, don’t throw away your mop and bucket just yet. You may still need a thorogh mopping job every now and then because the floormate just can’t replace the mop for deep down clean. I would suggest the Hoover floormate for anyone looking for a quick and convenient way to clean a house full of hard floors.
