Hoover is an American company that has been making carpet sweepers and vacuum cleaners since the early 20th century. Hoover's line of FloorMate cleaners specializes in the vacuuming, washing, and drying of hard-surface floors. Your FloorMate cleaner must be disassembled to empty the dirty water tank and to clean the filters regularly.
