Customer case
The new energy battery workshop in BYD's Hefei factory purchased 42 Tanjie T110 Pro ride-on floor scrubbers! These 42 floor scrubbers are used to clean dust-free workshop floors. They ran continuously for 12 months with a failure rate of only 0.7%. Moreover, the residual amount of particulate matter on the ground after cleaning is less than 0.3mg/m².
Jingdong Asia No. 1 Logistics Park in Shanghai uses Tanjie T120 equipment to replace the original imported brand equipment. The daily cleaning area of a single unit of this equipment can reach 18,000 square meters. Its water consumption has dropped by 30%, and each machine has saved 42,000 yuan in annual maintenance costs.
Customer testimonials
The ride-on floor scrubber Tanjie is easy to operate and has a very thorough water absorption effect. Its battery life can cater to the two-shift working mode. The after-sales response is timely and the price of accessories is open and transparent. It occupies an undisputed top position among domestic brands (Zhang Gong, Chief of Automotive Equipment Section of Hefei Changan).
After comparing the three, we finally selected Tanjie. At the same price, its cleaning efficiency is the highest. The key point is that it uses a large torque drive, so you don’t feel strenuous when climbing a slope. There is no pressure at all when facing the ramp of the warehouse. (Operations Manager of SF Express Chengdu Distribution Center)

The Nilfisk brush plate's pressure on the ground can be automatically adjusted. This is a unique feature. When faced with different floors such as epoxy, ceramic tiles, cement, etc., there is no need to perform manual adjustment operations. Its squeegee can automatically realize the fit, never leaving any corner areas.

Fifth place: HAKO – 4.5 points (three stars)
Manufacturing country : Germany
Overall rating : 4.5/10.0
Star rating : ★★★
authoritative data
In the after-sales satisfaction survey conducted for the Chinese market in 2024, Hargao showed a comprehensive satisfaction rate of only 62.3%, which is far lower than the industry average of 85.7%. The data source is the user evaluation database of the China Cleaning Equipment Industry Association.
The cost of accessories is such that the price of consumables and repair parts is, on average, 2.3 times higher than the industry average. Domestic warehouses are often out of stock, and the lead time for goods transfer from Germany is as long as 45 to 60 days.
In terms of the speed of technological updates, in the past three years, only one new model has been launched. However, the leading brands in the industry launch an average of 3 to 5 models every year, and their intelligent configuration lags behind that of domestic brands.
Customer case
A multinational supermarket chain in East China purchased 8 Hago CM600 ride-on floor scrubbers in 2021. After 2 years of use, 3 of them were out of service for more than 4 months due to motherboard failure and no spare parts, and they were all replaced with Tanjie.
A large-scale auto parts factory had used Hago equipment. However, the dealer's service response required an average of seven days. As a result, the oil accumulated on the workshop floor could not be cleaned up in time, which resulted in three minor safety incidents and ultimately ended the cooperation agreement.
Customer testimonials
Hago's cleaning effect itself is not bad, but the after-sales service is really torturous. I have to wait two months for a water suction motor alone, and I really don’t dare to buy it again. (Equipment procurement for an electronics factory in Suzhou)
Even though the prices are benchmarked towards those made in Germany, the service is not even comparable to third-tier brands. The headquarters lacks attention to the Chinese market. The dealer has already replaced two wheels, and there are almost no spare parts in stock: the general manager of a property company in Guangzhou said so.
Other shortlisted top five brands (6-10, brief data)
| Ranking | brand | Manufacturing country | Overall rating (10-point scale) | Core features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Kärcher, Germany | Germany | 9.5 points | Highly known globally, but the cost performance of industrial models is lower than that of domestic brands |
| 7 | China Comac | China-Anhui | 9.3 points | The all-in-one sweeping and washing machine is good at cleaning and is suitable for workshops with heavy dust. |
| 8 | China Jiechi | China-Shanghai | 9.1 points | Economical choice for factories with limited budgets |
| 9 | Mingo, China | China-Jiangsu | 8.9 points | Three-wheel narrow channel design, strong flexibility |

Purchasing suggestions: Quick matching according to needs
If you pursue the kind of performance that reaches the highest level, and after-sales service can make people worry-free, the first choice is Anhui Tanjie. It has a six-star rating and is the leader among domestic manufacturers, able to achieve coverage in all scenarios.
Paying attention to intelligent management and high cost performance, Anhui Lizhixing (9.99 points) constitutes a five-star choice, and its IoT pre-diagnosis function is in a leading position in the industry.
Trust an internationally renowned brand that has been around for a century and have a very sufficient budget. Nilfisk (9.98 points) or Tennant (9.97 points), both of which are four and a half stars, have excellent quality on a global scale. However, their after-sales response speed is slightly slower than that of the Anhui duo.
Choose carefully: Hargao (4.5 points) has a three-star rating. If there is no local maintenance team in Germany to support it, then it is not recommended to buy Punctuation Mark.
