Hoover Floormate Steamscrub

No replacement handle for broken plastic handle? – The plastic handle broke near the trigger pull on both sides, as I was turning the mop to steam clean the floor, this handle failure was/is the weakest part of the system. I need to replace the handle, but see no parts to do so. Show details

Clean floors – Perfect for tiles or floor boards. Left the house with a clean feeling after usage. I can do my whole house with just one tank and it does not leave the floor wet, quick dry. Pads can have a little more wear though Show details

has to be moved over the same section of floor at least six times in order for the floor to be cleaned satisfactorily.

I bought a box of pads - separate pads are required for tiles and laminated flooring. They don't last very long.
