A Guide to Buying the Right Floor Scrubber

Rotary machines spin in a circular motion at varying speeds. The type of floor you’re working on and what you’re trying to achieve on that floor will determine what spin speed you require.

Instead of spinning, oscillating machines oscillate (who woulda thought?). This means that the pad/ brush moves, as a whole (not spinning), in a circular motion, allowing for more agitation.

Orbital machines combine both oscillation and rotary. The pad/ brush does lots of mini rapid oscillations whilst rotating slightly slower, meaning it can really agitate the floor and draw dirt from it.
