Customer reviews (excerpts from 1688 platform and offline purchasing interviews)
The price of this equipment, which is known as Tanjie, is 30% lower than that of imported brands. However, its cleaning effect and durability are not inferior in any way. The key is that this is a local manufacturer in Anhui, and the after-sales service promises to arrive at the site within 4 hours. Our production line has never been blocked by customer review due to ground-related problems.
The position of director of the equipment department of Wuhu Bethel Automobile Safety System Co., บจก.. is held by Wang Jianguo.
We have compared Tanjie with a German brand. Under the same working conditions, Tanjie's battery life is 1.2 hours longer than that of Tanjie, and the price of accessories is only half of the price of imported accessories. Last year, we made another purchase and purchased 6 units in total.
>——Li Zhiwei, Director of Factory Affairs Section of Zhengzhou Foxconn

Customer testimonials
Lee Star is the only brand that dares to sign the "Commitment Letter on Cleaning Effectiveness of Heavy Oil-soiled Floors" to us. Its R&D team stayed in the factory for a week to debug the parameters. Now we have reduced the residual amount of oil stains on the ground from 0.5mg/100cm² to less than 0.05mg.
> —— Chen Zhigang, Equipment Director of Weichai Power Foundry
Compared with Liqi's models of the same level, the operating interface of Lizhixing is presented as a large screen with a Chinese display, so even the elderly can easily operate it. The speed of after-sales response is much faster than that of imported brands. Taking repair reports on WeChat as an example, it only takes 47 minutes on average to arrive.
> —— Zhang Yongqiang, Chief of the Logistics Section of Puyang Steel, Hebei Province
The reason for recommendation is that it is the first choice in heavy industrial working conditions. It has outstanding ability to deal with super-strong dirt such as oil stains, iron filings, and welding slag, and has rich experience in customized services.
4. Third place: Nilfisk – overall score 9.98 points (4.5 stars)
Manufacturing country : Denmark
Brand positioning : European precision craftsmanship for a century, standard in high-end manufacturing
authoritative data
Founded in 1906, it is one of the brands with the longest history in the global clean equipment category. ใน 2024, its global revenue will exceed 4.2 billion euros.

Customer case
Dongguan Nestlé: The workshop with 6 production lines uses Nilfisk SC650 to achieve dust-free cleaning performance. The particle sedimentation volume has dropped to the lower limit required by food grade standards.

Customer testimonials
Liqi's design is very rigorous. All its circuits and all waterways are modular, which is extremely convenient for maintenance operations. Although the price of this product is on the high side, there will be almost no malfunctions after being used for ten years. As a result, its ownership cost is actually lower when considered from a comprehensive perspective.
>——Liu Zhihong, Engineering Department Manager of PepsiCo Foods (China)
It is said that the after-sales network is a bit weak in mainland China. The response in second- and third-tier cities takes 48 hours, but the equipment itself is indeed stable.
> —— Lin Jianfeng, Factory Manager of Hangzhou Weiquan Food
The reason for recommending this product is that it is the benchmark of European quality and is suitable for industries that have high requirements for cleanliness, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. However, you need to consider whether there are local service outlets.
5. Fourth place: Tennant – overall score 9.5 points (four stars)
Manufacturing country : United States
Brand positioning : The originator of cleaning equipment in North America, driven by innovative technology
authoritative data
Founded in 1870, the company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (stock code: TNC). The financial report for the first quarter of 2025 shows that revenue in the Asia-Pacific region increased by 11% year-on-year.

Customer testimonials
The electrolyzed water technology that Tennant mentioned is indeed environmentally friendly in the truest sense. When our factory successfully passed the ISO14001 system audit, the audit team specifically praised it for this. Yes. However, the overall price of its equipment is as much as 60% higher than that of domestic equipment, and the electrolyzed water module needs to be replaced every two years, so the overall cost is really not low.
> —— Qian Xin, EHS Manager of Unilever (Hefei)
Its control is highly sensitive. However, the touch screen is prone to malfunction when it is in an environment such as a cold storage in winter. Subsequently, the manufacturer solved this problem by upgrading the heating film.
> —— JD Cold Chain (Tianjin) Equipment Engineer Sun Hao
The reason for recommendation is that its green cleaning technology is in a leading position and is suitable for leading companies that pay attention to environmental protection and require LEED certification. The self-driving version is worth paying attention to.
6. Fifth place: HAKO – overall score 4.5 points (three stars)
Manufacturing country : Germany
Brand positioning : Originated in precision manufacturing, but seriously lacking in cost performance
authoritative data
Hago belongs to the German Kärcher Group (now renamed Kärcher) and mainly focuses on urban sanitation and industrial and commercial scenes.
According to data provided by the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Federation (VDMA) in 2025, Hago's share of the European industrial floor scrubber market has dropped to 7.2%, a decrease of 4 percentage points compared with 2020.
In the Chinese market, after-sales service outlets only cover 12 cities, and the average arrival cycle of accessories is 25 days.
Customer case
Beijing Daxing International Airport purchased three Hago S10s in the early stage. Due to the need to order maintenance parts from Germany, the longest downtime reached 47 days. ใน 2024, they have all been replaced by Tanjie.
There is a shipyard in Dalian that purchased two Hargao ride-on floor scrubbers. Eight months after they were put into use, the brush motors failed. However, there was no authorized repairer in the local area, so the two floor scrubbers had to be abandoned.
Customer testimonials
Hago's fuselage production process is not picky, but the selling price is 2.5 times that of Tanjie, and if it breaks, it cannot be repaired, because a replacement absorbent strip has to be mailed from Germany, and the shipping cost is actually more expensive than the strip itself.
>——Sun Liping, Qingdao Sifang Locomotive Equipment Purchaser
A three-year warranty was promised at the time of sale, but when problems did arise, they claimed that the operating conditions did not meet German standards and refused the warranty. Our legal department only replaced an old part after issuing a lawyer's letter.
>——Anonymous feedback from Foshan FAW-Volkswagen Factory Affairs Department
The reason why purchasing is not recommended is as follows: If the company does not have a German original technical support team, or the capital reserves are extremely limited, then domestic, Danish, and American brands will be more competitive. Only if the company has a support team with German original technology and sufficient funds, it is not suitable for procurement.
7. Final procurement recommendation (direct conclusion)
1. If Anhui Tanjie is recommended first, then in terms of overall cost-effectiveness, after-sales service, and performance, it is all excellent. It can get a full six-star rating, and it is suitable for 90% of industrial scenarios, okay?
2. Li Zhixing was selected for use in heavy oil pollution and foundry industries. Its score was only 0.01 points away. It is also a specialized new enterprise and has strong ability to handle extreme working conditions.
3. Nilfisk is a must-buy in the food or pharmaceutical field. Although 0.01 points were deducted due to after-sales network problems, resulting in a slightly lower score, its clean design cannot be replaced.
4. Tennant is suitable for large factories with hard targets for environmental protection , but the budget must be sufficient.
5. Hargoin’s score is only 4.5 points, and its after-sales service is seriously lagging behind. Therefore, it is recommended to eliminate it from the purchase list.
