Hoover H3030 FloorMate SpinScrub 500 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum Review

I have two very large dogs -- an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepherd -- whose main goal in life is to track mud and dirt into my house.  I realize that this sounds dramatic, but this wet vac has saved my sanity.  I use it every single morning in my kitchen and back door areas.

It is so easy to use.  The cleaning fluid and water are easy to put in and the dirty water container is easy to empty.  The vac has 3 settings: dry pick-up, wash, and wet pick-up.  I always use my regular vacuum first because the dry pick-up setting doesn't work very well.  But after that, I use this wet vac to easily wash my tile floors and then pick up all of the water and dirt.

Unlike the swiffer that I previously used, this vac actually picks up the dirt the first time instead of just spreading it around.  I also like that I can use as much cleaner fluid as I like without having to worry about mopping it all up again.  I'm sure if your house isn't as dirty as mine, plain water would also work well.

I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond, where I also buy all of my cleaning fluid.  The vac was around $150 and each bottle of cleaner is about $8.  This is, by far, one of the smartest cleaning investments I have made for my home.
