floor mate history

I wonder how the floor mates have changed over the years. I think there are currently 2 models, the floor mate and the floor mate deluxe. The deluxe holds more solution and has a slightly longer cord, but you lose the dry vacuum feature. As I said in a previous message, my friend's floor mate deluxe never removed much of the water, it was like the nozzle was too high. I used to put a bit of weight on it when going over the floor and it worked much better. Apparently at some point, there was a model that also included a hose and some attachments as well.

Good idea. I'll

Have to try putting some weight on the front of mine. Don't get me wrong, it gets the floor cleaner than anything else I've tried.

There were 2 versions of the 1st generation FloorMate

H3000 has 30ft cord* & one set of SpinScrub brushes

H3010 has 35ft cord* & two sets of SpinScrub brushes

*approximate length

I have the same one that John Lucia does

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">and I simply love it.  It's the FloorMate Spinscrub 500.  I did my kitchen and dining room floors with it yesterday: I really can't believe how wonderfully clean the floors come out when I use it!  And to think, four decades ago my Mom would drag out a bucket of water, some Spic 'n Span, an o'Cedar mop, and some Glo-Coat to do the same thing!</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Mom's still around: we have laminate floors now instead of linoleum, which we had back then, but oh how much easier that FloorMate makes it to keep 'em clean!</span>
