Koblenz Carpet Shampooer and Floor Polisher with Pads White/Black

A) it's bulky. B) it doesn't actually scrub off s5ubborn dirt on the marble. Easier with a drill with appropriate head. C) VERY noisy D) liquid container doesn't sit well and drips. E) outlet for the liquid is sooooo small the liquid doesn't go through. Better to just unplug it from the base and let it drip out. F) the scrubbing heads don't fit well and touches the sides (rubs and melts the plastic lining) I used this for 1hour giving it the benefit of the doubt but I don't see how it's better then simpler measures with all the additional work around I had to do to get it to just Polish our marble floors. Better to not spend the money on this and higher a professional company to polish your marble flooring at a quarter the cost. And no back or headache (or ear ache)

ESTOY SATISFECHO CON LA MAQUINA PERO NO ME MANDARON LOS TRES LIQUIDOS QUE INCLUÍA EL PAQUETE. A QUIÉN LE RECLAMO PARA QUE REINTEGREN LOS TRES LÍQUIDOS. POR FAVOR ME DAN RESPUIESTA

I have 18" Centaur swing polishers and sometimes they are a bit big for the situation, so I use this. It works very well for edging and small areas like closets or bathrooms, but the swing polishers will clean this things clock out in the open.

After reading many of the reviews paying close attention to 1and 2 star, decided to give it a try. My hardwood floors have taken a beating over the years but nothing compared to the last 5 weeks with two grown dogs that love to play ruff and tumble constantly. Before I get into the buffer operation I must emphasize that the overall condition of the finish on the hardwood, as well as what the original finish material was is going to determine the final outcome, also how much time and effort you want to put into it - the floors came out amazing. The buffer was packaged in a sturdy box and all parts were included. The water tank did not leak which I was very happy about, some reviews complained about that. Some reviews complained that it wasn’t heavy enough which is a valid point, but if it were it would be easy to overload the motor possibly damaging it. You just have to go slow and give it time to do the job. The process I used was simple and time consuming but well worth it, in detail this is how I did it. Using water in the tank and the hard floor brushes with the green pads I did a section of the floor keeping the floor wet so the pads didn’t bog down after which was mopped up before drying. Once the entire floor was finished I went to the orange pads and buffed the floor (dry) until I reached the shine I was wanting - that’s it. Only the deep scratches didn’t come out which I didn’t expect would in the first place, but the overall finish was beyond my expectations. I have already ordered replacement pads so that I have an extra set on hand for the next time.

I love this scrubbing devil. We moved into our house in December, and I have not been pleased with the look of the carpets or the ceramic tile. I bought this originally for the carpet; I use to always have my carpets dual processed whenever I had them cleaned, no one does that anymore, I did have a "professional" clean my carpets, what a joke. I used an extra strength solution and scrubbed the heck out of the living room carpet, I was going to use a shop vac that I had bought to extract the dirty solution unfortunately that didn't work out so well. I bought a Hoover carpet cleaner, by the time that got here the carpet was dry, I filled the hoover with just water and rinsed it very well and extracted all that nastiness. I then filled the tank again and I actually added a small amount of bleach, (our carpet if very light, I also figured if I ruined it, it was already ruined). I ran over it very slowly, got quite a bit of the bleach solution on the carpet and extracted it, it was still disgusting. There was no odor what so ever when I was done or why the carpet was drying. After such great results I started eyeing my tile, which is textured, so I was thinking "is that just the design or is that imbedded dirt? I used the hard/tile floor brushes and used my favorite solution of Hot Water, White Vinegar and a Tablespoon of Dawn. Fortunately it was not imbedded dirt, but the tiles are much lighter, and the grout is nice and clean too. I would buy this again and have already recommended it to several of my friends.

Love this, cheap yet works well.
