Vacuum Cleaners: Squeaky Clean

Reviewed by:

Tired of crawling around on your knees with an old rag to get the floor truly clean? The Hoover FloorMate is a multi-purpose vacuum and floor cleaner that shifts from wet-vac to dry-vac to wash with the twist of a button.

The removable SpinScrub brushes can clean, scrub and buff your hard floors (wood, tile or vinyl).

Wash water and dirty water are kept separate (in two tanks) for more thorough cleaning. Choose from Alaskan Green (shown) or Purple Frost.

The FloorMate SpinScrub 800 is priced at under $250 (September 2005).
