subject: Scrubber Products: Electric Versus Battery [print this page] Yesterday, we gave you an introduction to automatic scrubbers. We briefly touched on the availability of different styles of automatic scrubbers; now, let's take a look at the electric scrubber versus the battery powered.
Electric and battery powered scrubbers have essential the same functions and work in similar spaces, the main difference is in how they're powered.
Electric automatic scrubbers are lighter because they hold no battery. They can run for a limitless amount of time, since they are plugged in, rather than relying on battery life. However, the cord can get in the way when cleaning, so if that's too much of an inconvenience, try a battery powered version.
Battery powered auto scrubbers offered by Janilink have a gel battery that is maintenance free and long-lasting. Every size scrubber offered by Janilink is offered in a battery powered model.
The products:
14 inch or 16 inch- This is only available as a battery powered model. This is the smallest model offered by Janilink. It is very easy to transport and store, and is good for small areas. This model works well in small office buildings, break rooms, drug stores, and small restaurants. It does well on uneven floors, tile, and grout. It has a scrubber speed of 165 RPM.
17 inch - There are electric and battery options for this size scrubber. This is also best used in small areas under 10,000 square feet. It is ideal for smaller schools and churches. This model is also transportable and compact. It comes with a brush for uneven floors and grout, and a pad drive for even floors.
20 inch and 22 inch-The 20" model is available in both electric and battery powered models, the 22" is available only as a battery powered scrubber. This product is ideal for slightly bigger areas, such as medium sized churches and schools. These scrubbers can clean 15,000 square feet an hour.
26 inch to 32 inch - These models are only available as battery powered. These sizes can be used for bigger areas, such as big schools, churches, and shopping centers.
