BUYING GUIDES
What to Look For When Buying a Floor Scrubber
By the time you are comparing specific machines, most of the decision comes down to a short list of practical checks. Work through them with each supplier and compare the answers side by side.
On the machine
- Coverage achieved on your floor, not on a showroom floor
- Recovery quality on turns and around obstacles
- Noise level if the machine works in occupied areas
- Ease of filling, emptying and daily cleaning
- Battery arrangement and charging time
On the supply arrangement
- Consumables used and how they are ordered
- Replacement parts supply in Australia
- Service arrangements and response process
- Operator training provided at handover
- Documentation: manuals, specification sheets, parts lists
On the numbers
Ask for a written quotation that separates the machine, batteries and charger, accessories, consumables and any service arrangement. That structure makes genuine comparison possible.
