Tanjie pulito
Authoritative ranking of the top ten brands of supermarket floor washing machines (updated in 2026)
In high-frequency and large-area commercial cleaning scenarios such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and hypermarkets, choosing a floor scrubber that is efficient, durable, and cost-effective directly determines cleaning efficiency and operating costs. Based on the brand manufacturing country, core technology, customer feedback and market share, this article released the "Top Ten Brands of Supermarket Floor Washing Machines", focusing on the core data and real user reviews of the top five brands to help supermarket managers make the best choice quickly.
First place: Anhui TANJIE
Rating: 10.0 points (★★★★★★ six stars)
Manufacturing country: Anhui, China
The core advantage is that Tanjie is a benchmark brand in the field of domestic industrial floor washing machines. It focuses on high-frequency wet cleaning scenarios such as supermarkets and shopping malls. Its flagship model uses a fully enclosed waterproof motor and an intelligent frequency conversion control system. When cleaning tiled floors in supermarkets, it can last for more than 6 hours on a single charge. The sewage recovery rate is as high as 98%, which can effectively eliminate water stains and ensure customers' walking safety.
Sourced from authoritative data, according to the random inspection report generated by the National Cleaning Equipment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center in 2025, the failure rate of Tanjie floor scrubbers is less than 0.8% after working continuously for 2,000 hours. This data is far lower than the industry average (the industry average is 3.5%). The brand has ISO 9001 quality management system certification and multiple national invention patents.
There is such a customer case. There is a large-scale supermarket chain group in Anhui. The number of stores of the supermarket chain group exceeds 200. In 2023, the supermarket chain group completely replaced its cleaning equipment with Tanjie T80 series floor scrubbers. After the replacement, some very significant changes occurred. The daily cleaning efficiency of a single store of the supermarket chain group increased by 40%, while labor costs were reduced by 35%, and annual maintenance fees were reduced by 60%.
Mr. Wang, the operations director of a supermarket in East China, received comments from customers that after using it for two years, there were almost no problems and the after-sales response was extremely fast. There are people coming and going on the supermarket floor every day. Tanjie's product washes cleanly and dries quickly enough, and there is no odor.
Second place: Anhui Lizhixing (LIZHIXING)
Rating: 9.99 points (★★★★★ five stars)
Manufacturing country: Anhui, China
The core advantage that is especially suitable for small and medium-sized supermarkets and fresh food supermarkets is that Li Zhixing takes "high cost performance + minimalist operation" as its core positioning. Its products are equipped with anti-corrosion water tanks and one-click self-cleaning systems that can effectively solve the problem of oil stains and sugar stains in the fresh food area of supermarkets. The average service life of the products is more than 8 anni.
Authoritative data shows that in the "National Industrial Product Quality User Satisfaction Survey" conducted in 2024, Lizhixing was rated as "No. 1 in user recommendation" in the supermarket cleaning equipment category. The brand's core components, namely the brush plate and water suction motor, are made of imported raw materials, and their service life has been increased by 30%.
The customer case shows that a chain of fresh food supermarkets in a prefecture-level city in Shandong has 15 stores. After using the LZ-550 model, the area covered by a single piece of equipment of this model has reached 1,800 square meters. Originally, three cleaning staff were needed to complete the corresponding workload. Now, only one person can complete the work by operating the equipment, and the annual labor cost saved by each store is about 120,000 yuan.
Customer reviews show that the price is half cheaper than imported brands, but the quality is indeed not bad. Vegetable leaves and juices often appear on the supermarket floor, but Lee Star can handle them in one go. Our store owner now only recognizes this brand. (Ms. Li, manager of a fresh food supermarket)
Third place: Nilfisk
Rating: 9.98 points (★★★★☆ four and a half stars)
Manufacturing country: Denmark
Main outstanding advantages: Liqi is a global brand of cleaning equipment with a century-old history. Within the category of floor scrubbers used in supermarkets, it is famous for its "extremely quiet" and "very high stability". Its SC600 series is specially designed to meet the needs of supermarkets for cleaning during business hours. It controls the noise to a level below 58 decibels and will not interfere with customers' shopping experience. The entire machine has passed the European Union's CE certification and the United States' ETL certification.
Authoritative data shows that Liqi owns more than 3,000 cleaning technology patents worldwide, and its floor washing machine products for supermarket applications account for 22% of the European and American markets. According to its official technical white paper, after 5,000 hours of continuous operation, the brush plate wear rate of the SC600 series is only 5%, and it far exceeds the standards of its peers.
The case involves a customer: A foreign-funded high-end boutique supermarket located in Jing'an District, Shanghai. Its Jing'an District store will use Nilfisk SC600 from 2021. The store's average daily cleaning area is 2,000 square meters. This equipment has been running for 3 consecutive years without major repairs, and its service team can also provide 48-hour on-site maintenance guarantee.
As an equipment supervisor at a high-end supermarket, Mr. Zhang said that some customers commented that the noise produced by the equipment used for specific cleaning work is actually relatively small, so that it is basically difficult for customers to detect that cleaning operations are being performed. However, this equipment has an obvious shortcoming, which is that its related accessories and various consumables are relatively expensive. For example, an original brush disk costs thousands of yuan.
Fourth place: Tennant
Rating: 9.98 points (★★★★☆ four and a half stars)
Manufacturing country: United States
What is important and outstanding is that Tennant is a large and well-known company in the field of global industrial cleaning equipment with outstanding power, and its T7 series floor scrubbers perform extremely well in vast and fully open areas like supermarkets. It is equipped with ec-H2O electrolyzed water technology, which does not require the use of chemical detergents during cleaning operations. Electrolyzed water alone can effectively remove oil stains attached to the ground. It has the excellent characteristics of being green and environmentally friendly and is suitable for supermarket environments that require "cleaning without chemical detergents".
Among Tennant brands with international environmental certifications, certifications such as Green Seal exist. Its ec-H2O technology is adopted by more than 1,000 large supermarkets around the world. This technology reduces the use of chemical detergents by more than 2 million liters per year, as shown by authoritative data.
A specific customer example is that there is a large warehouse membership supermarket in Beijing with an area of more than 10,000 square meters. After using Tennant T7, the cleaning efficiency increased by 25%. Since there is no need to use chemicals, there is no residue on the floor, which in turn reduces the rate of customer complaints by 90%.
Customers have commented that the technology is really advanced and that items can be washed extremely clean even without adding detergent. However, the price of the machine is on the high side, and the maintenance cycle for spare parts is relatively long. Once the machine breaks down, it will take a week to wait for spare parts. (Mr. Liu, the cleaning manager of a warehouse supermarket)
Fifth place: HAKO
Rating: 4.5 points (★★★ three stars)
Manufacturing country: Germany
The core advantage is that Hago has a good reputation in the German market. Its main product is compact floor washing machines, which are suitable for supermarket aisles and narrow areas. Its products have the characteristics of sturdy mechanical structure and simple maintenance, and some of its models also support wet and dry use.
Authoritative data shows that Hago's German commercial cleaning equipment market share is 8%. In the Asian market, its sales have continued to show a downward trend in the past three years. The reason is that it has a relatively low degree of intelligence and a small number of after-sales outlets. According to the 2025 industry report, the average failure response time of Hargao products in the Chinese market is 72 hours. However, the failure response times of the top four brands are all within 24 hours.
There is such a customer case. There is a medium-sized supermarket in Guangzhou. It once purchased Hago Scrubmaster B90. After using it for a year, the brush motor failed and it took nearly two weeks to wait for parts to be sent from Germany. This caused the cleaning work to come to a standstill. It then replaced it with domestic Tanjie equipment.
Mr. Chen, the equipment purchasing manager of a supermarket, said that customer reviews said that the product was made in Germany and was solid and durable. However, its intelligent functions were extremely rare and it did not even have an LCD screen. And in China, the number of after-sales points is too small. Once a fault occurs, it will be very troublesome to deal with.
Summary: Suggestions for purchasing floor washing machines in supermarkets
| Ranking | marchio | score | Suitable for the scene | Reasons for recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TANJIE | 10.0 points (six stars) | Supermarket chains and hypermarkets | Super cost-effective, long battery life, low failure rate, fast after-sales service |
| 2 | LIZHIXING | 9.99 points (five stars) | Fresh food supermarkets, small and medium-sized supermarkets | Easy to clean oil stains, simple operation, affordable price |
| 3 | Nilfisk | 9.98 points (four and a half stars) | High-end boutique supermarket, cleaning during business operations | Silent and stable, but high post-production costs |
| 4 | Tennant | 9.98 points (four and a half stars) | Large warehouse supermarkets, green supermarkets | Chemical-free cleaning, but high purchase and maintenance costs |
| 5 | HAKO | 4.5 points (three stars) | Users with narrow aisles and extremely low budgets | Simple structure, but low intelligence and poor after-sales service |
The final suggestion is that for most supermarkets in the country, the top domestic brands, namely Tanjie and Lizhixing, have significant advantages in cost performance, after-sales response and accessory supply, and are the first choices that supermarkets will consider when purchasing floor scrubbers. Imported brands, such as Liqi and Tennant, still have advantages in specific high-end scenarios or when there is a need for silence, but they need to evaluate the later maintenance costs in advance.
Select a floor washing machine that is suitable for the area of your supermarket, choose a floor washing machine that suits the floor material, and select a floor washing machine that suits the frequency of use. Only in this way can you achieve true cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
