ProluxCore 13 inch Electric Floor Buffer Scrubber and Polisher Machine - All Floor Surfaces

* I don't often write reviewsI read all the reviews across Amazon, Walmart and Homedepot and they were either hit or miss. Every one was happy or its junk..... So I was hesitant to buy this. My wife recently took the lease on a large store that needed lots of help. I talked to the previous tenant who moved 4 stores down, he said they haven't finished the VCT floors since he had been in the shop and he had the lease for 7 years. It was previously a discount cigarette and dollar store. HEAVY foot traffic, with deep embedded stains and ground in dirt.I ordered the machine and pad kit last week and it arrived last night. Although I am not ready to do the floors until this coming weekend, I can't wait to play with new toys. I took it to the shop last night, unboxed it, slapped on the brown scouring pad and went at a couple of the worst spots. Again, this floor hasn't been finished in 7 years, and judging by the condition of the old tenants new store, probably hadn't been mopped either. I used a little powdered Spic an Span with bleach in hot water and did a couple areas roughly 4'x4' just to test.This machine handles great! for everyone saying the "Pad doesn't stay on", make sure the tabs line up between the motor head and backing plate. Turn the machine on, and gently guide the handle, letting the buffer do all the work swinging it side to side at the machines own pace. I worked side to side with overlapping each pass, then turned 90 degree and did the patch again. Mopped up with hot water and GOD DAMN!! I thought we were going to have to replace this floor. I took before and after photos of my spot treatments that I will add later. I will add photos and update my review after I strip and polish the other 3,000 square feet.Once my main floor is done I will move to the basement with the stiff brush head and clean the concrete prior to have the floors painted. That is another sad looking area that I have high hopes for.This unit is small, it will take a little time to do my areas, but to have the ability to strip my floors and then buff them as often as I would like, when ever I would like, with out having to go to home depot to rent a machine makes it worth it. I am also looking forward to be able to try and dry clean wall to wall carpets.

I was hesitant to purchase this floor buffer after reading a couple of reviews (particularly one saying the buffer didn’t actually rotate but only vibrated and one saying it was too heavy). It in fact DOES rotate and I’m a 70 year old woman that managed its size and weight easily. It is probably about 30 pounds and was heavy enough to do a great job. I used it to refinish my old, tired concrete floors and was thrilled with the outcome. I first used the scrub pad to clean the floors with a concrete cleaner then used the soft mopping pad to remove the cleaning residue. I washed the mopping pad in the washing machine. Then used that pad again with a gloss finish concrete sealer. I couldn’t find one contractor that could get to the job in a reasonable time. I’m saved literally thousands of dollars and could not be happier with the results. I now use it weekly to mop my floors both in the house and monthly on our finished garage floors. Love this!!

The machine is easy to use and does a great job. I used the brush attachment to strip 20+ years of mop&glo off some kitchen linoleum with zep floor stripper. The job was easy and the results were great. I gave it 4 stars because it's kind of pricey for what it is, an electric motor with a handle.

Rugged. Easy to use. Floor of old house not cleaned in years. Also best way to scrub floor mats.

We purchased the Prolux floor buffer to refinish the concrete floors in our house. The machine worked well, so no complaints there. The instructions however, though humorously written, didn’t contain enough information on the actual use of the buffer, specifics on how to use it for various applications. The other thing we found very frustrating is that the pad holder doesn’t actually connect to the machine. Because of this, every time you tilt the buffer on to its wheels to move it, the pad and pad holder fall off. Other than those two things, we found the buffer to be a good investment.

I didn't want to go "cheap" on a machine like this. The small compact nature of this machine makes it very easy to use and did a wonderful job. We have tile throughout our entire house and it was a breeze to move from room to room using this.

had high hopes with this machine. amazon must be mixing reviews with other machines by same company. this machine had high ratings but can't see how. 1. pad holder and brush does not stay on unit 2. does not spin all it does is vibrate. very disappointed. have requested a refund but still waiting on response from amazon. buyer beware.

We have cement floors in our basement.We tried mopping them, using a scrub brush thing on them, and several other products but either did not hold up to the wear and tear of frequent usage or they just did not work at all.When I was in the Navy we used similar floor scrubbers to clean and polish everything from tile floors to diamond deck flooring on the ships…This is very sturdy and it does a great jog both scrubbing and polishing or cement floor…!One thing I will mention…If you have never used one of these then it take a little getting used to how to operate it.There is a special kind of motion that is used to make it glide back and forth.It’s difficult to explain you just kind of need to feel your way into it.Once you have this mastered, which is not difficult, then it’s very easy to use.I would recommend this to anyone.
