Koblenz P-2500 Floor Scrubber/Buffer



pretty good
Pretty good, not great.

Pros: Good quality. Light. Easy to carry around the house. comes with heavy duty scrub brushes, shampoo brushes, and a couple buff pads. Two speeds, easy to assemble, does a good job with light workload. It's a bit too light to really dig deep, but it did do a great job on my tile floors.

Cons: No convenient way to stand it up with the brushes attached. You have to kind of lean it on something, which is a bit of a pain if you want alternate between scrubbing and mopping. Also, the handle to release water from the tank is on the front of the machine, so you have to take one of your hands off the handle and reach for it. This is difficult because you really need two hands on the handle while it's scrubbing. If you only hold on with one hand, the thing starts going crazy and can get out of control, so dispensing liquid becomes a bit of a juggling act. Quite honestly, it's much easier not to use the tank at all. Just dump a bunch of cleaner on...

Good Scrubbing Action, But of Limited Use
This machine delivers good scrubbing and buffing action, but I realized I couldn't use it around my house, as I'd intended. This is more my fault than the machines's. I hadn't thought ahead when buying this product.

It doesn't pick up the considerable amount of water it dispenses. So it releases quite a quantity of water and soap onto the floor, scrubs vigorously, then leaves you with a pool of dirty water to slosh through. You have to periodically stop the machine to mop up the dirty water, or else have a second person following in the wake of the machine to mop up the water. If you're doing the job alone, this will probably present an extra problem because, if all machines are like the one I got, the handle of the machine won't stand upright on its own. You'll have to move the machine over to a wall or some other support every time you stop to mop up.

This all can end up being time consuming and messy. The scrubber clearly wasn't going to be useful in my house,...

Scrubber power
Used to have an old time hoover floor polisher and was sceptical about ordering any other but they discontinued the hoover. Just bought this scrubber and it is fantastic having white porcelain floors and three large dogs I needed something that would get the job done and this surely does. I couldn't believe how well it worked and at half the time. I would recommend this scrubber to anyone. It is easy to put together and very easy to handle.
