Real-world floor cleaning machine prices from BuyerZone buyers

We regularly survey BuyerZone users to ask how their purchases went. We've used their responses to provide a sampling of actual prices paid for floor cleaning machines.

The biggest single difference in price you'll encounter when purchasing floor scrubbers is between walk-behind and ride-on scrubbers. We've presented prices for both below, but as you'll see, walk-behind scrubbers are more popular, in large part because they're much more affordable.

Many walk-behind scrubbers are self-propelled – it doesn't require muscle power to push them around – just to guide and control them. Still, if you have a large warehouse or shop floor to clean everyday, a ride-on scrubber can help you get the job done much more quickly.

Some of our users turn to used scrubbers to reduce their costs. While this can get you a commercial-quality scrubber for less than $1,000, which is hard to do new, you'll be operating without the assurance of a warranty. If you’re considering a used scrubber, expect to take on some additional risks.
