@Snicks1 I did look at the one for the same price at WalMart's site, but it doesn't have the accessories and with free shipping, I went with HSN. It does get good reviews everywhere I went to look at it, so there it is. It is a bonus that it has the squeegee that is extra on the Hoover site for use with hard floors, something I will use in the laundry, kitchen and office especially around the litter bins. I do steam the floors so it cleans well but doesn't get that good scrubbing. I will use both.
@sissel The floormate is smaller and better suited for getting around things, but the Hoover at HSN will do hard floors as well. It would depend on how your kitchen and areas are designed.
