Oreck Orbiter Hard Floor Cleaner Machine, Multi Purpose Floor Cleaning Machine, Random Orbit Power for Fingertip Control, Versatile and Low Maintenance, Ideal for All Flooring Types

This did a great job with the orange brush on my bathroom floor. It had a lot of hairspray and dirt stuck in the floor and it looks so clean and new looking. I am a custodian at a school district and I scrub and wax many floors. I am very pleased with this machine for my home use.*Update… still really like my floor machine it’s a great size for home use. I have a kitchen floor that was pretty grimy with grease and dirt down in the little crevices of the floor. This machine got it pretty clean and looking new using the Orange brush. Take a mop bucket lay down some cleaner on the floor with your mop a nice amount, and scrub. Don’t wring your mop out just put it in the bucket and then let the cleaner drip from the mop onto and all over the floor as many times as you need to in a nice size section and then scrub back and fourth in consistent lines/rows on your wet section of floor. The more wetness you lay down the better scrubbers clean. It will splash some dirty liquid on things when scrubbing but that can be wiped off things like cabinets. After you scrub your section suck up the dirty liquid with a wet dry shop vac. You don’t want to leave it to dry or you’re going to have to mop it many times with water to get it all off the floor. After you’ve scrubbed your whole floor mop the floor with water to pick up any residue left after vacuuming. Like I said my first review I scrub tile floors every summer for my job with a more powerful machine and this one works great for home use.

I've had my eye on this orbiter since I've been looking for way to effectively clean our tile floors. The grout had gotten to be this dark "grungy", almost black color (supposed to be a very light gray, almost white). Well, this machine not only accomplished the task, but the floor looks better than it did when we first moved in (wish I had taken before and after pictures).Next I decided to try it on some carpet. We have 5 cats and 2 dogs, in addition to being an 8 member household. The carpets that still remain (I've been replacing most of the carpet with laminate flooring). Anyhow, there was one section of carpet on a stair landing that was quite gross (mainly thanks to the cats). In the past 10 years we've lived here, I've tried spot cleaners, a Regina, a Bissel and a Rug Doctor (rental unit), which seemed to have made the carpet worse. After 2 applications (following the recommended instructions), the carpet looks almost new. I think 1 more application will get it there.On to the laminate floors. I used a red 3M buffer pad to clean and the cotton buffer pad to finish. Folks, you've got to get one of these machines, if you have laminate or wood floors. Absolutely beautiful results and in very little time or effort. No streaks either.If you purchase the orbiter, you'll also need to purchase "accessories", the orbiter comes with none. I started with the Complete Clean value kit, which included the tile floor cleaner (that did such a great job on our tile floor), laminate and carpet cleaner, plus carpet dry cleaner (which seems to continue cleaning days after the first application), a black carpet scrub brush, an orange hard flooring scrub brush and a cotton buffing pad.If it's important to you to maintain your floors, and you're looking for quick, easy and excellent results, then I highly recommend the Oreck Orbiter. So far it appears to be very ruggedly constructed, uses a heavy gauge power cord, is very quiet and easy to use. It glides over the floors (can handle with 1 hand) and operates just like a random orbit sander (matter of fact you can get sanding pads of different grits that can be used for that purpose). So far no one has beat Amazon's price. You'll get your money's worth with this machine, no doubt.2024 Follow-up; I am still using this orbiter for my laminate, carpeted and tile floors. It's still going strong, and does a great job. I've been using the various pads (for the laminate & tile floors) and brushes (to clean the carpet & tile/grout floors).

Works great for the job I was doing. Great price, was easy to use & handle. It’s a very good machine & would definitely recommend. It’s the perfect size & wasn’t hard to handle.

What I dislike about this is that it doesn’t come with any pads/bonnets, those need to be purchased separately. I wish I would have known that prior to the purchase. However, the machine itself worked fine.

I have stamped concrete interior floors throughout my house. They are a demon to clean since the grout lines are very deep. I have tried a bunch of things and nothing seems to clean down in the lines. Even my steam machine does not make much of a difference. Then I got the Oreck scrubber and it does an amazing job. It gets down in the grooves and cleans them out! It is very heavy but when it is on it is not hard to handle at all! I am 75 with bed bones but I can use it with no problems. The weight is an advantage since it keeps bearing down on the floor and keeps it from skipping. The machine doesn't "fight" you as you might expect. Highly recommend this machine!!
