Most people choose a cordless floor scrubber for its convenience. This unit does not disappoint. The strong battery life aids in cleaning times. Units that can handle both hard floors and carpets, such as this one, are a rarity in the world of cordless scrubbers. Another important consideration for using a floor polisher with an overly long cord in a small room is that it might end up tangling—making it hard to clean. It all depends on what you want and whether a floor polisher is able to serve you effectively. Power - The source of power for your floor polisher is another feature to consider before buying a floor polisher. If the floor polisher is cordless, then it needs to be able to last for hours on a full charge. If it's a corded unit, the length of the cord limits your reach. Most homes and apartments have multiple floor types. Hardwood has different requirements than tile, and so on. Accounting for this with your floor scrubber can make all the difference. Most of the floor scrubbers on this list, such as the Boss Scrubber make use of mop pads and solutions intended for different floor types. When using the scrubber, use the mop pad that’s suitable for that floor.

Durability ensures the product can work for long spans without developing faults. If you’ve got a larger room, requiring more time to clean, this feature is critical for you. If you’re in the market for a multi-purpose floor buffing machine, it’s important to consider all your floor types’ needs. The best floor scrubber, in this case, will be able to go hard on tile grout and gentle on hardwood floors and maybe even give your carpet a good clean, too. Of course, this level of adaptability will cost you, and prioritizing versatility often means sacrificing particulars in favor of broad strokes. Shopping for the best floor buffer is no different: while you might lose out on some hyper-specific features that only cater to one type of floor or the other, the upside—namely, that one machine can clean an entire home’s worth of flooring—makes the trade-off worth it.

Finally, size matters with floor scrubbers. Large commercial scrubbers may offer superior cleaning power, but their size and weight make lugging them around a chore.

With a motor with a maximum power of 4 HP this is a very powerful commercial grade cleaner that will almost certainly power through any and all stains.

For delicate flooring types, like marble tiles and some hardwood floors, consider a scrubber with soft microfiber or fabric pads. Tougher flooring, like ceramic and porcelain tiles, might be able to handle scrub brushes. For specific tasks, like cleaning grout on a tile floor, look for a floor scrubber made for this job. Whatever your needs, a scrubber with several attachments helps you tweak your cleaning strength on the fly.
