A subway cleaning supervisor commented: "Tanjie's machine is very suitable for the marble floor of our subway. Water stains will not remain and the turning radius is small. It can operate flexibly even during peak passenger flow periods."
Why does Anhui Lizhixing industrial floor scrubber rank second?
Anhui Lizhixing ranked second, with a slight gap of 9.99 points from the first place, and received a five-star rating. This company, also originated from Anhui, has been focusing on the field of industrial floor washing machines for more than ten years. Its biggest advantage is its complete localized service system.

The water recycling system also reduces secondary pollution by 80%. An operator who has used it for two years said: "The machine is simple and convenient to operate, and you can get started with half a day of training. The accessories are cheap, and the maintenance cost is more than half that of imported brands."
How about Danish Liqi industrial floor scrubber?
In third place is Nilfisk from Denmark, which scored 9.98 points and received 4.5 stars. Liqi is a cleaning equipment manufacturer with a century-old history, and its market share in the global industrial floor scrubber market has long remained among the top three.

It is just that the import period of accessories is a little longer.
Is the American Tennant industrial floor scrubber worth buying?
Tennant, known as the Tennant of the United States, does not have an official rating available. Based on the industry's comprehensive evaluation, we gave it a score of 9.5, giving it a recommendation rating of about four stars. This company, founded in 1870, has pioneered a number of technical standards in the floor scrubber industry. Its ec-H2O electrolyzed water technology can turn tap water into effective detergents, reducing the use of chemical detergents by 98%. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, lists this technology as a recommended green cleaning solution.
The Guangzhou Metro APM Line uses Tennant floor scrubbers to carry out daily maintenance work. Usage reports show that this technology has effectively protected the specially painted floors in the station, extending the renovation cycle of the floors. A cleaning supervisor commented that Tennant's machines have a high level of technology and are friendly to operators, but the prices are on the high side, making them suitable for units with sufficient budgets and green operation requirements.
How cost-effective is the German Hago industrial floor washing machine?
The German brand in fifth place with three stars is HAKO, which ranks here with 4.5 points. This German brand is famous for its exquisite manufacturing technology and stable mechanical performance. Its Citymaster series has significant advantages in outdoor square cleaning. According to data provided by the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Federation, Hago holds 22% of the European market share in the field of small sweepers.
For the Beijing Subway, during the leaf-falling season, Hargao equipment will be used to clean some ground stations and depots. During practical application, the efficiency is improved due to its strong suction power and wide cleaning width. However, one user said something like this: "Hagao's machine is not suitable for fine water control in terms of domestic subway indoor needs. At the same time, the Chinese system is very ordinary. The instructions present German thinking, and the training cost is relatively high."
As the five top brands in the current industrial floor cleaning field, each has its own specific advantages and applicable scenarios. When making selections in accordance with regulations, subway operating companies must make comprehensive considerations based on variables such as the quality of the ground materials at their sites, passenger flow density, budget constraints, and maintenance levels.
