Does the job I bought this to clean my tile floors. It does the job well, and the machine is heavy duty, no plastic parts to worry about breaking. You do have to keep up with cleaning up the dirty water as you go, I use another floor cleaner I have that sucks up the water to do this. If the floor has not been cleaned in a while you do have to go over it several times to get it clean. I have a lot of tile, probably around 2,000 square feet of it, and it does take hours to cover it all. If I had the choice, I would buy a commercial grade machine that will also suck up the dirty water, however they start around $700.
Disappointing product My husband recently bought this item as a replacement for our older Koblenz scrubber which was no longer working properly. I’m sorry to say this brand new scrubber didn’t work any better than the broken one.It seemed that Koblenz made several design changes to this scrubber, none of them good ones. I noticed right away that the cord was shorter, and the tank did not seem to fit into the scrubber as well as it used to. Additionally, this is advertised as a “Commercial” scrubber, but when I looked more closely, I saw that it actually said COMMERCIAL (in large letters) Technology for Home Use (in small letters beneath). Elsewhere on the scrubber, I saw that it said “for home use only.” So this is NOT a commercial scrubber. This was worrisome, since we were buying the scrubber to use in our business, where I scrub the floors twice a week. So I was worried it would not hold up to the use it was going to get.The first time I used the scrubber, I noticed that it leaked if I left it standing (off, of course) even for a few minutes. I tend to scrub a section of the floor, then turn the scrubber off and lean it against a wall while I mop over the freshly scrubbed area. Every time I did this, I came back to a large puddle under the scrubber. I tried to adjust the mechanism that releases the liquid, in order to stop the leaking, but to no avail. The next day, one of our employees used the scrubber and had the same experience.The scrubber is now packed up and ready to return. We were happy with our previous Koblenz scrubber, but the newer model seems cheaply made and of poor quality. We were very disappointed.
No elbow grease necessary! My home is exclusively vinyl plank – looks just like wood/laminate, but is “soft” like vinyl. I’ve always vacuumed and mopped, but have been unhappy with a splotchy look for the past year. I got on my hands and knees with a scrub brush, but even a half-hour of scrubbing in my kitchen didn’t make much of a difference. When I thought about how much time and energy the whole house would take, I gave up. Then I searched for a floor scrubber and found the Koblenz. After just 5 minutes’ use in my kitchen, the floor was clean and the standing water was black. I knew the vinyl was probably dirty, I just didn’t know it was THAT dirty. As other reviews mentioned, the standing water is an issue, but it would be an issue if I were on my hands and knees, too. Currently my strategy is to floor squeegee the dirty water into a pool, then I towel it up from one area. I’m not sure if this method is best, I may try a “mop it up” approach.In any case, the Koblenz got the job done! The machine is weighty and I was concerned about how much effort it would take for me to scrub. Once turned on, however, the machine floats across the floor on its own, I could literally guide it around with the touch of a finger. Maybe someday there will be a perfect machine that sucks up the dirty water, but then we’d have to deal with dual tanks. In the meanwhile, I am very satisfied.
