Hoover H3044 SpinScrub FloorMate Wide-Path Vacuum Cleaner

An all-in-one cleaner, the H3044 is not only capable of vacuuming dry debris from your floors, it can also make use of wet-cleaning or dry-cleaning to clean surfaces like ceramic tiles and sealed hardwood, among others.

User Feedbacks

The H3044 has been dubbed as loud by some previous buyers in Amazon.com, and that it doesn't vacuum dry debris very well. However, positive feedbacks have been received about the FloorMate's performance in sweeping, especially in linoleum floors.

The Hoover H3044 also showed good performance on ceramic tile surfaces, even though it has been good enough when used on laminate wood floors because evidences of the brush strokes are left on the floor irregardless of the chemical or products being used.

Hoover H3060 SpinScrub FloorMate 800 Vacuum Hard-Floor Cleaner

Like the H3044, the H3060 can clean your floors in three modes. You can use dry vacuuming, wet-scrubbing as well as squeegee-drying.

This Hoover FloorMate hard surface cleaner is ideal for cleaning surfaces such as ceramic tile, sealed hardwood, marble, vinyl and laminate.

The Hoover H3060 floor cleaner also uses SpinScrub brushes as well as grout brushes for cleaning tile grout.

It comes with a portable detail kit, which includes tools for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. It also comes with a telescoping wand featuring a swivel nozzle, which can be used to clean toilets. The wand gives a maximum reach of over 8 feet.

Fingertip controls in the handle give you maximum control over the application of your cleaning solutions. The H3060 Hoover FloorMate also features an EZ Select dial to choose between the three cleaning modes, as well as two separate tanks for the solution and extracted water.

User Feedbacks

The H3060 has received a lot of positive reviews in Amazon.com. Out of 173 customer reviews, 86 (roughly half) were five-stars. This resulted to a 4-star rating in Amazon.

Unlike the H3044, the H3060's vacuum feature was considered amazing and impressive by most users. It was able to pick up almost any kind of dirt including cat food, leftovers by people, and cat hair, among others. The H3060 also effectively removed grout residue from new tiles.

Part of the reason for the H3060's positive reviews is its user-friendliness. Users have found it easy to use.

It could also dry floors quickly, with noticeable cleanliness compared to its previous state. Users found it easy and convenient to switch between cleaning modes with its EZ Select dial.

The tools, though, have received some not-so-good feedbacks. One user found them useless, and that she had to do a lot of manual labor just to get off the grout, and to clean corners.

Judging from other positive reviews regarding the Hoover H3060's grout removal capabilities, though, this could be a case of user error rather than a product-oriented one.

Some reviews have also noted that the reservoirs are quite small, thus they require to be filled up frequently which could be time-consuming if you have quite a big space to clean. The wand attachment has also been seen to have a tendency to collapse when under extreme pressure.
