Just bought this to replace my floor mate & it's definitely NOT my floor mate. I have owned & been using a floor mate for over 8 years very happily but after my last one died, I decided to try this. It had good reviews but I think its a cheaper version of the floor mate. Don't think it sucks up the water as well, cheap plastic clips to hold the dirty water tank that I know will break just with normal rinsing of tank. Will be sending it back
