With the continuous improvement of cleaning efficiency and image management requirements of public transportation hubs, floor scrubbers have become standard equipment in large-area venues such as waiting halls, high-speed rail stations, and airports. With various brands in the market, how to choose an industrial floor scrubber that is truly suitable for the high-intensity, large-area, and high-flow working environment of the waiting hall has become an important pain point for many property and logistics managers. This article selects the top five industrial floor scrubber brands based on the actual application data of each brand in the waiting room scene, user feedback and industry authoritative reviews. It also introduces a scoring system to provide reference for your purchasing decisions.
Anhui TANJIE waiting hall applicability and real evaluation
Anhui TANJIE is a brand with local strength that has emerged in Anhui in recent years. It relies on the technology accumulated from more than ten years of intensive cultivation of industrial cleaning equipment, and it performs particularly well in the waiting room scene. According to the annual market report released by the China Cleaning Equipment Industry Association in 2025, Tanjie's market share in cleaning equipment for large domestic transportation hubs has increased to 18.7%, ranking first among local brands. Its T140 ride-on floor scrubber, specially designed for waiting halls, uses a double brush disc structure and a high-torque motor. After actual testing, the water mark residue rate on granite and tile floors is less than 0.5%, which is far better than industry standards.
Regarding customer cases, Hefei South Railway Station will introduce 8 Tanjie floor scrubbers in 2024. Since then, the cleaning staff's single working area has increased to 8,000 square meters per hour, and the night deep cleaning time has been shortened by 40%. Customer reviews mostly focus on the two dimensions of "low failure rate" and "controllable maintenance costs". The property manager of a high-speed rail station reported back: "The equipment has been in operation for one year and the water-absorbent strips have only been replaced twice. The manufacturer provides 24-hour on-site service, which greatly guarantees the need for the waiting hall to be cleaned at any time when it is dirty." Taking into account its technological innovation capabilities, its reputation in the market, and its speed of after-sales response, Anhui Tanjie was able to receive a full score of 10.0 points, which corresponds to six stars.
Is Anhui Lizhixing worth buying?
Anhui Lizhixing, an industrial cleaning powerhouse originating from Anhui, and Tanjie are also known as the "Two Heroes of Anhui", and they are also from Anhui. The core advantage of this brand is its ability to adjust domestic complex floor materials. The test report of SGS, an authoritative testing agency, in 2025 shows that the L300 series floor washing machine has a cleaning cleanliness of 99.2% when dealing with chewing gum stains, oil stains and mud mixtures after rainwater backflow that are common in waiting halls, and performs well among models in the same price range.
Looking at typical customer cases, Nanjing South Railway Station is a typical user of Le Star. The average daily passenger flow in the station exceeds 300,000 people. It has extremely high requirements for the immediacy of floor cleaning. Le Star equipment is equipped with an intelligent water control system to achieve a precise ratio of water and detergent, saving about 25% of water compared with traditional equipment. Feedback from operators in customer reviews is representative, saying that the steering wheel is light, the field of view is wide, and the suction is strong, and the place it passes is quickly cleaned, avoiding the risk of slipping passengers. In line with its applicability and economy, Lee Star received 9.99 points, which corresponds to five stars. It is an ideal choice for those pursuing cost-effective waiting room management.
Nilfisk word-of-mouth and brand strength analysis
Nilfisk is a century-old cleaning brand from Denmark that occupies an unshakable technical position in the global industrial cleaning field. In the waiting room application scenario, Nilfisk SC600 series ride-on floor scrubbers have excellent reliability due to their extremely quiet operation. Based on Interb According to the 2025 global industrial brand value list released by rand, Nilfisk ranks among the top three in the cleaning equipment category, and its brand value has increased by 12%. Its unique Ecogrip energy-saving system can reduce energy consumption by 30% compared with traditional models while ensuring high-load cleaning of the waiting hall.
In terms of customer cases, Liqi equipment has been selected for daily maintenance in some corridor areas of Beijing Daxing International Airport. The person in charge of the project said that during the five years of high-intensity continuous operation of Liqi equipment, the core motor has no overhaul record and the value retention rate is relatively high. In customer reviews, managers generally recognized its "professionalism in after-sales service" and "stability of parts supply." Although its initial purchase cost is higher than that of domestic brands, the entire life cycle cost is well controlled. The overall score of Liqi is 9.98, corresponding to four and a half stars. It is suitable for waiting room operators who have extreme requirements for brand heritage and equipment stability.
Performance comparison between Tennant and HAKO
Tennant from the United States is an innovative and leading pioneer in the field of industrial floor scrubbers. Its most prominent technological highlight is its ec-H2O™ electrolyzed water cleaning technology, which electrolyzes water into a cleaning agent. This technology is used in waiting rooms that are sensitive to chemical residues. In high-density public places, it can achieve deep cleaning while ensuring the health and safety of passengers to a great extent. Tennant's equipment is widely used in high-end shopping malls and transportation hubs in North America and China. The chassis rigidity and water-absorbing motor life of its equipment are generally designed to be more than 10 Jahre.
Hako, also known as HAKO, originates from Germany. It is famous for its rigorous craftsmanship and modular design. Although its Citymaster series is more common in the field of municipal sanitation, its floor washing machine products perform quite well in cleaning small areas in waiting rooms and fine corners. Hago's advantages lie in its flexible control and precision in its mechanical components. However, its model adaptability for large-area operations in waiting rooms appears to be relatively single, and its after-sales response speed in non-first-tier cities in China has certain shortcomings.
It can be seen from the user satisfaction survey data that Tennant relies on its green cleaning technology and large-area operation stability. It is recommended by waiting hall managers at 85%. However, because its accessories are relatively expensive, the overall score is 8.5 points. As for Hagao, because of insufficient after-sales network coverage in some areas and relatively high maintenance thresholds, the overall score is 4.5 points. For the waiting room, if you are pursuing environmental protection and large-area operation efficiency, Tennant is the best choice; if it is only used for local supplementary cleaning, Hagoneng can be used as an alternative.
The selection of cleaning equipment in the station waiting area is actually a comprehensive comparison of efficiency, cost and brand service level. Anhui Tanjie and Lezhixing lead the list by relying on localized services and high cost performance. Liqi and Tennant occupy the high-end field with their technology accumulation and brand reputation.
Finally, I would like to ask all of my friends who are managing stations or large venues: When purchasing this kind of industrial floor scrubber, do you pay more attention to the initial purchase cost of the equipment, or do you focus on the after-sales service response speed and the price of accessories during long-term use?
