Too late. I just ordered one. I found them on the Hoover site for $149/free shipping + a free cleaning kit of some kind. Oh, and you can do 3 payments of $49 if you want.

This site also answers a lot of question about what floor types it's safe to use on, and has a good demo video. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geupDAS0...252DgWycc%252E

Yes~you vacuum first, then use the brushes to clean and finally it sucks up any leftover water so your floor is virtually dry when you are finish. It was my husband that really talked me into buying one. I think the difference between the mop and this is that it has brushes that spin and loosen any dirt then picks up all the dirty water and store it in a separate compartment~so you are always putting only clean water down. With the mop you are putting it back into the dirty water.

Okay what mop is that ? would it be better for my slate floor than the hoover? Gawd I might have to get both.

I would have to agree as well. My floor in my LR is tile and very bumpy and it did a very nice job cleaning it. It comes with 2 sets of brushes and you can change between hardwood and tile. The tile brushes are a little stiffer. But I have not changed the brushes and it does a really nice job with the hardwood brush that I have been using.

Everyone in the house has notice a difference in how the floor "feel" on your barefeet. There is no residue or those little bitsies that you sometimes get when you don't have carpet. Right now the county is working on the road in front of my house. It's just a mess and no matter how hard I tried the dirt in the air was everywhere inside the house. It is a mess. Plus it's been so humid that I had noticed that the floor felt extra gross no matter how much I tried to keep them clean. But I really have to say the Hoover made an immediate difference. They just are not sticky there are no bitsies either.

I also had the Shark steam mop (canister type) and I hated it! I think it was pretty close to the same price and IMO really didn't have the WOW factor of the Hoover. After spending all that money on it I think I only used it 2 times and it's sitting in my laundry room just looking pretty. :rolleyes: I had actually gone back to the OCedar mop that Bonbon and I both purchased.

For the edges of the floor I use the little tool and it seemed to work really well. Before I start doing the inside floor I ran the tool with the wand in the corners and along the edges kind of pushing the water way from the wall (does that make sense) then when I did the rest of the floor I just picked it up then.

Here is the mop that Bonny and I both have. It really works great and you can toss the mop pad into the wash machine. I've had it for several years and it really is pretty much good and new. When Bonny bought hers I think she had to order it from O'Cedar directly. I bought several of the mop pads so I always had extra. But I have to say now that I have the Hoover my floors are even cleaner. I am NOT tossing out the mop but that stupid steamer might have to GO! :rolleyes:
