We have the Hoover FloorMate. I had planned on buying the FlipIt by Bissell but I read some bad reviews on Epinion.com and DFIL gave me a huge gift card to Target so I splurged on the more expensive Floormate. I really like it. We have a dog that sheds terribly, and the vacuum feature is wonderful for that. The mop feature also works nice. It's not as good as the old fashioned mop and bucket, but for me it's a lot more convenient. And I've never been one to get on my hands and knees to clean the floor either.It actually got out a spot on our hardwood floors that I hadn't been able to do on my own. I like the fact that I don't have to lug out the broom/dust pan and then the mop/bucket, that I can do it all at the same time.
