Broke after 1 year!:
I made the mistake of letting my mother keep my original Floormate. I had it for 4 years and she has had it for the last 2 years - and it is still going strong. I went to buy a new one when I moved across the country, only to find the original having been "improved". After 1 year with the 500, the suction completely gave out on me.

I have ceramic tile throughout the house. I also own a Flip-it and it did a terrible job and took forever to clean the large area. I tried the dry vac on the Floormate and I... more info
This is FANTASTIC. If you have hard floors - A MUST:
I have read all the reviews on this page and several other blogs on the internet. I knew what cons to look for, and to be honest, I didn't find any. The first time I used it, I did take it very slow and went with the length of the boards (not across the boards). I couldn't believe the dirt it picked up -- I thought my floor was "clean" when I started. (I used warm tap water and vinegar) I could see some of the cons people were stating if you went too fast. If you are WASHING your floors -- there is... more info
