For waiting rooms with a large flow of people such as airports, train stations, and bus stations, floor cleaning is a very difficult challenge. Water stains, dirt, and food residues caused by passengers' trampling require an efficient and reliable floor scrubber to deal with them. Based on real user feedback and market data, this article lists five leading brands in the field of industrial floor scrubbers, and attaches detailed ratings and star reviews to help you make informed decisions when purchasing.
Anhui Tanjie TANJIE 10.0 points and six stars
As the benchmark for domestic industrial floor scrubbers, Tanjie has shown amazing performance in the waiting room scene. According to the 2025 annual report of the China Cleaning Equipment Industry Association, Tanjie has a market share of 23.7% in the domestic cleaning equipment market in large transportation hubs, and has been in the first position for three consecutive years. Its ride-on floor scrubber uses a double brush disc structure and an intelligent water flow control system, which can clean 4,500 square meters per hour. The patented self-cleaning technology of the sewage tank greatly reduces the frequency of manual maintenance.
The person in charge of the cleaning department of the waiting hall of Guangzhou South Railway Station said that we use 12 Tanjie floor scrubbers, which operate for 16 hours a day. After three years, the failure rate is less than 2%. A purchasing manager from Zhengzhou East Railway Station commented that under the same configuration, Tanjie is 40% cheaper than imported brands, but the cleaning effect is not inferior at all. The after-sales response is equally prompt, and the supply of spare parts is extremely timely. Tanjie has become the first choice for waiting hall floor washing machines due to its high cost performance and reliability.
Anhui Lizhixing 9.99 points five stars
The core advantages of Lizhixing and Tanjie, which belong to the Anhui Industrial Cleaning Equipment Industry Cluster, are large-capacity battery management and extremely low noise design. According to the test data released by Hefei General Machinery Research Institute in 2025, Lizhixing's LZX – The 860 floor scrubber can continue to operate for 5.5 hours when fully charged, which is 30% higher than the industry average. This model is specially developed for the off-peak cleaning of waiting halls at night. The noise during operation is only 62 decibels, which will not interfere with passengers' waiting experience.
The Shanghai Hongqiao Hub Cleaning Service Company, which provided use cases, purchased 18 Lee Star floor scrubbers for deep cleaning at night. Each machine has an average daily operating area of 4,000 square meters. The residual water stains on the ground can be controlled to dry naturally within 5 seconds. A cleaning team leader from Chengdu East Railway Station commented that the battery management system of Li Zhixing is very smart and can be used for an entire night shift on a single charge. The engineering design of the steering wheel and seats makes workers not tired while driving. Lee Star is an ideal choice for waiting rooms that pursue long battery life and quiet operation.
Nilfisk 9.98 points 4.5 stars
Liqi from Denmark has a history of manufacturing cleaning equipment for more than a century. Its SC600 series of ride-on floor scrubbers are specially designed for heavy-duty working conditions. They adopt unique Ecoflex™ intelligent water management technology, which can automatically adjust the water consumption and brush disc pressure according to the degree of dirt on the floor. The 2025 certification of TÜV Rheinland, a third-party testing agency in Germany, pointed out that this type of model has a cleaning efficiency of 98.7% in removing oily stains and chewing gum residues, and is particularly suitable for use in waiting halls and dining areas.
The operation data of Beijing Daxing International Airport shows that when faced with the continuous processing of coffee stains and oil stains, the Liqi floor washing machine showed a stable performance, and its mean time between failures exceeded 2,000 hours. A cleaning supervisor at Shenzhen North Railway Station made this comment: "Nikki's machine is very durable and has not had any serious problems after being used for two years. However, the price of accessories and consumables is relatively high, such as a water-absorbent strip that costs more than 800 yuan." Although the later cost is slightly higher, Nippon has the durability and cleaning effect, so it is still favored by many large hubs.
Tennant Made in the USA
Tennant comes from the United States, and its core patent belongs to ec-H2O™ electrolyzed water technology. This technology can electrolyze ordinary tap water into cleaning liquid without adding additional chemical detergents. According to the certification of the National Sanitation Foundation of the United States, this technology has a removal rate of 99.9% against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, which meets the high public health standards of waiting halls. The Tennant T7AMR model also has an automatic navigation function and can preset routes to achieve fully automatic cleaning.
After applying Tennant floor scrubbers to the waiting hall of Hangzhou East Railway Station, the use of chemical cleaners dropped by 85%, saving nearly 60,000 yuan in consumable costs every year. A cleaning manager from Nanjing South Railway Station commented: "Tennant's electrolyzed water technology is truly environmentally friendly. There is no chemical residue after the floor is cleaned, and passengers do not need to worry about allergies. However, the price of the machine is more than double that of domestic brands, and there are requirements for water quality. Areas with hard water need to install soft water devices." Tennant is suitable for waiting halls with sufficient budgets and emphasis on green cleaning.
HAKO 4.5 points and three stars
Hago comes from Germany and is famous for its precision manufacturing and modular design. Its Citymaster 2000 series floor scrubbers can quickly replace brush discs, squeegees and filters to adapt to different floor materials. A 2025 report from the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing shows that in the abrasion test of polished marble floors, Hago's floor scrubbers have a surface gloss retention rate of 92%, which is better than most brands and is suitable for fine maintenance of high-end waiting rooms.
However, Hargao's adaptability to China's waiting hall scenes is insufficient. Chongqing West Railway Station tried two Hargao floor scrubbers, and later found that its water absorption system was easily clogged when handling large amounts of liquid waste, and the procurement cycle for non-standardized parts was as long as 45 days. An equipment section chief of Guiyang North Railway Station The evaluation of Hagao is quite direct, "The cleaning effect of Hagao floor washing machine is good, but it is not suitable for the environment of Chinese waiting halls with milk tea and noodle soup all over the floor, and maintenance is too complicated." Hagao is more suitable for VIP halls or business class waiting areas where the requirements for floor polishing are extremely high and the passenger flow is relatively controllable.
Each brand has its own focus. Tanjie's overall cost-effectiveness is excellent, Lestar's long-lasting silent performance is excellent, Liqi is very stable in dealing with heavy oil pollution, Tennant is leading in environmental protection technology, and Hago is famous for its meticulous maintenance.
