Good News!

It came to my door today! I'll be posting pics (of my unit, this one is a stock photo) soon.

Not bad of a deal for just $1 & free S/H:)

Close-up of dirty water picked up from bedroom floor. GROSS!

I forgot to do a YT vid, but will post one later.

Yes, the tools DO work!

So, this FloorMATE is worth every $ spent (I paid only $1 from eBay)

The only problem is, the solution control rod is broken/missing, so I had to wedge a coin under the upper handle to dispense water onto floor.

Yes, I know

Its another TTI Hoover product I own now, I also have a WindTunnel MAX bagged & a WT MAX multi-cyclonic.

Only those 3 vacs (TTI-era) in my collection.

When will TTI stop messing with Hoover? Before the TTI takeover, nearly all the Hoover floor care products were perfectly fine. The ONLY ones still good are the FloorMate SpinScrub, Steam Vac SpinScrub classic, & the Tempo U5140-900 & original non-Self-propelled WindTunnel upright & bagless WT canister.

Now can I have a SpinScrub hand tool for the FM?
 
I also use the swivel nozzle to wash windows & mirrors; no more Windex spray bottle & paper towel or rags! (I can't reach the skyview windows; [unless I have a platform] because the hose is too short & only reaches up to 8ft when wand is fully extended)
 
It takes a while to get used to using the FloorMate's tools since U have to tip up the swivel nozzle to vacuum the water from floor or mirror; & doesn't dry as good as the main nozzle.
 
Tools

Yes. I was going to offer that suggestion of just slightly tipping the tool forward to get the water picked up, but it does work pretty good. At my house for around the toilet where the main nozzle does not fit, I am glad to have the tools.
