I just got rid of my Hoover FloorMate and got a steam mop (Smart Living brand, if it matters). I like my steam mop much better. My FloorMate was about 3 years old, and the new model might be better, so take this for what it's worth. The FloorMate took about 4 times longer to clean the ceramic tile in my kitchen. It was such a SLOW process and I had to push it over and over and over a spot to get it to come off. It made things a little quicker if I cleaned obvious spots on my hands and knees before using the FloorMate, but that defeated the purpose to me. The floor seemed clean (and dry) when I was done, but it literally took me an hour to do it. Mine ran on a rechargeable battery and the battery life was never long enough to do both the kitchen and the breakfast room.
The steam mop cleans my tile quickly. Spots come right off, and the floor seems clean to me when I'm finished. The best part is that I can do my kitchen and breakfast room in about 15 minutes.
