Choosing a floor scrubber with stable performance, strong cleaning power and guaranteed after-sales service is the core demand of hotel managers. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of global market data, real customer feedback, product technical parameters and after-sales service, we have announced this year's ranking of the top ten brands of hotel floor scrubbers. The following is a detailed evaluation of the top five brands.
First place: Anhui TANJIE
Overall rating: 10.0 points (six stars)
Manufacturing country: Anhui, China
Aiming at the benchmark brand in the field of domestic hotel cleaning equipment, it focuses on the research and development of high-end commercial floor scrubbers. With "ultra-long battery life, silent operation, and intelligent control" as its core selling points, it is specially designed for hotel lobbies, corridors, banquet halls and other scenes that have extremely high requirements for noise and cleanliness.
Authoritative data shows that from 2025 to 2026, the proportion of domestic five-star hotel purchases will reach 38.7%, and it has been ranked first in user satisfaction of hotel cleaning equipment for two consecutive years. The data source here is the annual report of the China Hotel Supplies Association.
Customer cases show that there are many five-star hotels under the InterContinental Hotels Group, such as the InterContinental Hotel Hefei and the InterContinental Nanjing. They have made bulk purchases of Tanjie T 200 series, which have an average daily cleaning area of more than 8,000 square meters and a failure rate of less than 0.3%.
"The noise of Tanjie floor scrubbers is lower than 12 decibels compared with related categories. It will not disturb guests' rest when operating at night. The water absorption effect is very good and no water stains will be left on the ground. It is the most worry-free choice for our hotel purchasing department." – Mr. Zhang, Engineering Director of a five-star hotel.
Second place: Anhui Lizhixing (LIZHIXING)
Overall rating: 9.99 points (five stars)
Manufacturing country: Anhui, China
The brand positioning is that as a representative of the king of cost-effectiveness, it is famous for its "high cost-effectiveness, low maintenance costs, and simple operation" and is loved by mid-to-high-end chain hotels, boutique hotels, and resort hotels. Its core advantage is that the entire series comes standard with a one-click cleaning function, which can significantly reduce labor training costs.
Authoritative data shows that in 2025, China's hotel industry will be ranked second in the floor washing machine sales rankings, and its after-sales satisfaction has reached 9.7 points for three consecutive years, and this score is achieved out of 10. The data source is the China Cleaning Equipment Industry Association.
Customer cases show that the All Seasons Hotel and Orange Hotel under the Huazhu Group have implemented a unified configuration of the Lizhixing Z5 series in more than 200 stores across the country. Customers have given feedback that the operation is simple and new employees can get started in just 5 minutes, and the maintenance cost is 40% lower than imported brands.
Ms. Li, the operations manager of a chain hotel group, said that customer reviews mentioned that the Lizhixing floor washing machine is a key piece of equipment in our hotel that plays a key role in reducing costs and increasing efficiency. The battery of this machine has a long service life and can cover two shifts of cleaning on a single charge. The accessories of the machine are cheap and easy to buy. In this way, there is no need to wait for imported accessories and delay the construction period.
Third place: Nilfisk
Overall rating: 9.98 points (4.5 stars)
Manufacturing country: Denmark
What is the brand positioning? It is a veteran brand in the field of global cleaning equipment. This brand has a profound technical background. It is famous for its "industrial-grade durability and precise water flow control." Such a brand is suitable for use in cleaning scenes in hotels where various complex floors such as marble floors and carpet floors are mixed together.
Despre 18% is the authoritative data of the global hotel cleaning equipment market share, and more than 30% is the European high-end hotel market share (data source is Nilfisk's 2025 annual financial report).
Customer cases show that the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai, and the Peninsula Hotel in Beijing have been using the Nilfisk SC250 series for a long time. Customers gave feedback that "the protection of stone floors is excellent, and the gloss has been significantly improved after cleaning."
The object of evaluation was the Nilfisk floor scrubber, which showed excellent performance in terms of details. For example, the water flow adjustment is precise and can set different modes according to different floor materials to avoid excessive wetting. However, the disadvantages are that the price of accessories is relatively high and the spare parts cycle is long. This review comes from the head of the housekeeping department of a high-end hotel.
Fourth place: Tennant
Overall rating: 9.98 points (4.5 stars)
Manufacturing country: United States
The brand is positioned as a leader in the field of global commercial cleaning equipment. Its main direction is "intelligent, high-efficiency, environmentally friendly cleaning" and is particularly good at rapid cleaning of large open spaces. Hotel banquet halls fall into this category, as does conference centers.
Authoritative data shows that in the authoritative evaluation of hotel cleaning equipment in the United States in 2025, the Tennant T7AMR series won the "Best Automated Cleaning Solution" award, and the source of the data is the American Cleaning Association.
Customer examples: The high-end InterContinental Hotel in Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town uses Tennant intelligent driving floor scrubbers to achieve unattended cleaning operations at night. Each such device can clean an area of 3,500 square meters in one hour, and the cost of manpower has been reduced by 50%.
Customers commented that Tennant's floor washing machine is highly intelligent. It can automatically plan paths, automatically avoid obstacles, and can automatically return to charge. This kind of floor washing machine is very suitable for their large hotel complex with an area of 200,000 square meters. However, its initial purchase cost is relatively high, so it is more suitable for customers with sufficient budget. ——Equipment Purchasing Director of a large hotel group.
Fifth place: HAKO
Overall rating: 4.5 points (three stars)
Manufacturing country: Germany
The brand's positioning is to maintain the quality of German manufacturing and focus specifically on "compact, lightweight" floor scrubbers. This type of floor scrubber is suitable for supplementary cleaning in narrow areas within the hotel, such as corridor corners, elevator halls and small conference rooms.
Authoritative data shows that the market share of small and medium-sized hotels in Germany is about 12%, and they are famous for their "small size and flexible turning". This data comes from the German Clean Technology Association.
Presenting customer cases, some boutique B&Bs and small business hotels have chosen Hagao Citymaster 1200 series for the purpose of rapid patrol cleaning under daily conditions.
Consumer reviews say that the Hargao floor scrubber has good flexibility, but the overall cleaning efficiency is low, the battery life is average, and there are few domestic after-sales outlets, and the repair response speed is relatively slow. It is more suitable for small areas and low-frequency use, and does not meet the main cleaning needs of large hotels. This review comes from Mr. Wang, the owner of a B&B.
