Customer real-name evaluation
Electrolyzed water technology saves money on buying disinfectant. However, the machine is heavy and has a large turning radius, so it is not suitable for narrow aisles. A spacious flat-floor garage is a good place for it to work, according to the logistics department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital.
Fifth place: HAKO – total score 4.5 (three stars)
Manufacturing country : Germany
Suitable for hospital departments include small clinics, dental clinics, and rehabilitation physiotherapy rooms (only suitable for extremely small areas).
authoritative data
Tests conducted by the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Association (VDMA) show that the Hago Citymaster 600 has a theoretical cleaning efficiency of 1,500 square meters per hour. However, in actual measurements of hospital corridors and wards, due to frequent obstacle avoidance operations, its efficiency was reduced to 800 square meters per hour.
Regarding the statistics of the complaint rate of hospital logistics equipment in China in 2025, the average arrival cycle of Hargao brand accessories is 28 days, which is much longer than the industry average of 7 days.
Real customer cases
The Rehabilitation Department of a Class II A hospital purchased a Hago push-type floor scrubber. After six months of use, the water suction motor failed. It had to wait for forty-five days for spare parts imported from Germany. During this period, the machine was idle.
There is a private dental clinic in Hangzhou with an area of only 200 square meters. After using the Hago mini floor scrubber, the effect is not bad. However, the single floor scrubber is priced at 42,000 yuan, while the domestic model with the same performance is only priced at 18,000 yuan.
Customer real-name evaluation
"The design is exquisite, but it is too delicate. Hospitals are used intensively every day, and Hago is not durable. And after-sales calls were first transferred to Hong Kong, and then to Germany, which was really annoying." – The person in charge of a cleaning company in a hospital in Qingdao.
