6 Best Floor Scrubber and Buffer Brands

Sometimes when people ask us which is the best floor scrubber and buffer brand, we actually say refurbished. Used equipment is often every bit as good as new ones. What’s more, some older models deliver on a higher value. That being said, many people have become loyal to one brand or another over a long period of time.

At Performance System Janitorial, we've worked to ensure that everyone can get the kind of equipment they need and prefer. That being said, we often see a few time-tested brands show up in the rankings list time and time again.

1 Nobles

Tennant Company is one of the world's leaders in terms of designing and manufacturing equipment for cleaning professionals. Nobles works with Tennant to produce affordable and reliable gear that should meet the needs of almost anyone in the janitorial industry.

Their name has quite a bit of staying power for cleaning floors. Nobles is often sought after by those who want to be sure their new-to-them floor scrubber or buffer is going to hold up over the long term.

2) Tennant

While the Nobles name has certainly become more comment, Tennant's engineering teams have also

 opted to marked automatic scrubbers under their parent company's umbrella as well. In many cases, parts are relatively standard and interchangeable between several different leading brands.

That being said, PS Janitorial does a multiple point inspection of every refurbished piece of equipment we sell. When our technicians do so, they make sure to replace each component with only those parts that have been certified by the manufacturer to work with their gear.

3) Pioneer Eclipse

SAFR Technology, which monitors pressure between air filters, is perhaps the best-known feature of Pioneer Eclipse's equipment. Nevertheless, the company actually manufactures a complete line of floor care and cleaning devices as well as the chemicals needed to operate them.

When you get Pioneer Eclipse, you want a machine that handles various tile and concrete types of flooring. Some surfaces are vinyl-coated or VCT, which are common in warehouse spaces. Others use concrete, which is easy to clean by stripping wax. Pioneer Eclipse can handle both depending on the brand.

4) Comac

What sets Comac apart is the fact that they make each of their units in a variety of sizes, which helps to differentiate them as well as ensure that they have a product that should work in almost any setting. Comac's engineers pride themselves on efficiency as well as the safety of the operator.

If you've ever seen any of their marketing materials, then you may have noticed that these are the two areas they heavily promote. There's a reason for this; namely, they genuinely receive high marks in both areas and continue to emphasize them when designing new pieces of equipment.

5) Onyx

Those who are looking for smaller pieces of equipment might want to look at Onyx's offerings since they've become known for their sophisticated manual propane floor buffers. Each piece comes with a factory warranty.

Onyx is known for its reliability and safe design for operators. They use gel batteries to last longer and reduce the need for maintenance. Heat transfer technology ensures that for propane Onyx buffers, you won’t face as many hazards from overfilling.

6) NSS

Likewise, anyone who might be in the market for this kind of equipment will also want to check out NSS, since they provide even smaller battery buffers that should be rather easy to store even in a tight space. They are designed for compactness and efficiency.

In particular, the NSS has a long lifespan despite the machines’ smaller sizes. The simple designs allow for simple troubleshooting in the case of an error, or for replacing polishing pads. As an added benefit, the machines have a high cleaning capacity.
