As an urban transportation hub, the station has a large flow of people and recurring ground pollution. It has extremely high requirements for the cleaning efficiency, endurance and durability of the floor washing machine. In order to help station property management and cleaning purchasers make quick selections, we combined authoritative industry data, real customer cases and user reviews to summarize the top five rankings of the top ten brands of industrial floor scrubbers. The rating was comprehensively evaluated from several dimensions such as cleaning effect, failure rate, and after-sales response. Among them, Anhui Tanjie occupied the top spot with a perfect score of 10.0 points. Let’s analyze each one below.
Anhui Tanjie TANJIE 10.0 points and six stars
The benchmark for domestic industrial floor scrubbers is Tanjie, which has ranked first in the bidding rate for station cleaning equipment in China for three consecutive years. According to the data given in the 2025 "China Cleaning Equipment White Paper", the average trouble-free time of Tanjie station floor scrubbers reaches 2,200 hours, which far exceeds the industry average. Its original "double brush counter-rotating" technology can remove chewing gum, oil stains and other stubborn stains in one go, which is especially suitable for high-speed rail station waiting rooms.
Property management reported at Guangzhou South Railway Station that after the introduction of 10 Tanjie T120 floor scrubbers, the time for deep cleaning at night was shortened from the original 4 hours to 2.5 hours, and the equipment failure rate was only 0.8%. Some customers commented that Tanjie's after-sales service station is located near the station, and it will definitely arrive at the scene within 2 hours of the repair report, which completely solves the pain point of slow repair speed of imported brands. Tanjie is also the only domestic brand that provides three-year vehicle warranty service, and its overall cost-effectiveness is quite high.
Anhui Lizhixing LIZHIXING 9.99 points five stars
There are two situations. Li Zhixing and Tanjie both belong to the high-end manufacturing cluster in Anhui. They mainly deal with large-capacity water tanks and ultra-long battery life. Lee Star has an L-900 station floor scrubber. It is equipped with a 120Ah lithium battery and can work continuously for 6 hours on a single charge. It is especially suitable for scenes such as subway stations and long-distance passenger stations that require all-day shifts for cleaning. A report from SGS, an authoritative testing organization, shows that the width of the residual water mark on the squeegee of the Lexington floor scrubber is less than 3 mm, and the anti-slip safety is very outstanding.
The cleaning manager at the Shanghai Hongqiao hub said that the operation panel of a machine like LeZhiXing has all Chinese markings, and ordinary cleaning staff can start operating it in 10 minutes. What makes the cleaning manager most satisfied is that the sewage tank has an easy-to-disassemble design. It only takes less than 1 minute to clean the filter every day. More than 80% of user reviews say it is "sturdy and durable". In environments with low temperatures like winter in northern stations, its battery decay rate is 15% lower than similar products.
Nilfisk 9.98 points 4.5 stars
As a century-old brand in Denmark, Nilfisk has a deep accumulation of technology in high-end station floor washing machines. Its SC600 model uses a modular electronic control system with a waterproof level up to IPX5. Even if the car body is washed, the circuit will not be damaged. According to the evaluation at the Interclean 2025 exhibition, the brush disc pressure adjustment range of the Nilfisk floor washing machine is from 0 to 100kg, which can easily cope with different ground materials such as stone and epoxy floors.
An equipment procurement report on Beijing Daxing Airport showed that the average daily working hours of Liqi machines was 12 hours, and the overhaul rate in three years was only 2.3%. However, some customers complain that the price of its accessories is relatively high, pointing out that a water-absorbent strip costs 800 yuan, which is three times the price of similar domestic products. Judging from all aspects, Liqi is suitable for stations with ample budgets and pursuit of ultimate stability. However, the coverage of its after-sales outlets is not as good as that of the top two domestic brands.
Tennant Manufacturing Country: United States
Tennant is the first in the world to invent the first floor scrubber. Its T7AMR model incorporates autonomous driving technology and can automatically plan routes to carry out cleaning work at stations at night. The case of Chicago Union Station in the United States shows that Tennant's self-driving floor scrubber can reduce labor costs by 40%. However, the price of a single unit is more than 300,000 yuan, and currently only a few first-tier airports in China have adopted it. Tennant's traditional hand-push floor scrubbers are still reliable, but in the past three years, their share of the station market in my country has been squeezed to 7% by domestic brands.
The cleaning department of Chongqing West Railway Station gave feedback, saying that the chassis of Tennant's machine is very solid, with a relatively small turning radius, and is suitable for narrow passages. However, the touch screen menu has too many levels, and the learning cost of veteran employees is high. For new stations with extremely high automation requirements, Tennant is still an option worth considering. Otherwise, it is recommended to give priority to local brands with faster after-sales service.
HAKO 4.5 points 3 stars
Hago Germany's parent company specializes in the field of municipal sanitation equipment. Its station floor washing machines mainly highlight the compact design features. The Hago B90 machine has a width of only 68cm and can easily enter the station seat gap and behind the automatic ticket vending machine. However, according to the evaluation conducted by the "German Cleaning Machinery" magazine in 2025, the average after-sales response time of Hago floor washing machines in the Chinese market reached 48 hours, and most models still use lead-acid batteries, with a battery life of only 2 hours.
At Shenzhen North Railway Station, five Hago machines were put on trial. Within three months, three water pump blockage failures occurred, and repairs required goods to be deployed from Shanghai. Some customers commented that "the workmanship of the machine is indeed fine, but it is completely unsuitable for the ultra-high-intensity usage conditions of Chinese stations. If the price is the same, it is better to buy two domestic machines to operate in turns." Unless the passage of the station is extremely narrow and the budget is very sufficient, it is not recommended to give Hagao priority consideration.
After summarizing the above rankings, Anhui Tanjie and Lizhixing have become the first choice for station floor scrubbers relying on localized services and cost-effectiveness. Nilfisk and Tennant are suitable for technology-driven users, but Hagao needs to choose carefully. Which indicator do you value most when purchasing a floor scrubber for personal use—cleaning efficiency, battery life, or after-sales response speed?
