Something’s are obvious.
Ok so something’s are obvious. When you are choosing a driver plate or brush options such as the Malish Carpet Shampoo Nylon Brush or the Malish Concrete Prep tool the difference is easily recognized. The Carpet Shampoo Brush is clearly related to cleaning carpet and the Concrete Prep Tool clearly related to concrete. There are clear and obvious difference here that can be explained right in the title and description of product. What about the products that aren’t so easily distinguished? What is the difference between a MK-SDG-7 that cost 678 dollars and a HTC 1500 that cost 197,000 dollars? They both are used to grind a floor but what else? Obviously the price is different, but what are the real differences and what price range is more suitable for your business.

Some fan favorites
We already went over the fact that there are a lot of bases to cover when purchasing a floor machine, but we have included some fan favorites to help simplify some things.
1.Flexibility
The Green Machine was chosen for its versatility. The Green Machine is a three-headed planetary machine that can be used for both grinding and polishing. This machine performs heavy duty grinding but the tooling can easily be switched for polishing. The price is another reason why the green machine made the list and is considered the most flexible floor machine. It is priced under $7,000, which is on the cheaper side considering the heavy duty grinding this machine can perform. Grinding, Polishing, and Price gives the Green Machine the ultimate trifecta in floor machines.
2.Power & Innovation
HTC is one of the industry leaders when it comes to floor machines. They are continently innovating and revamping there machines to keep top the industry. The DURATIQ is an amazing new floor machine. This machine is so sophisticated and innovative it comes stocked with over a 100 new features and 54% higher productivity rate.

The Koblenz makes the list because of its price point and reliability. Often times we recommend the Koblenz over a more expensive floormachine. Customer reviews and years of experience tell us this machine kicks butt. This machine goes head to head with more expensive machines and continues to come out on top. The floor buffer is designed to polish and shine floors. Great for cleaning companies who are performing jobs in schools, hospitals, public buildings, stores, and more.
4.Portable
The Diamabrush isn’t a floor machine but an extension of a floor machine. This brush attaches to a floor machine. The Diamabrush makes our list because of its popularity and its effectiveness. The Diamabrush Mastic Coatings Removal Brush is one of the most effective products for coatings removal on the market. Removing material and prepping or grinding concrete the Diamabrush is an excellent choice. Designed to remove stubborn coatings from concrete such as epoxy, tile and carpet adhesives, paint, thin set, and mil coatings. The Diamabrush is not only very effective but portable as well.
