Buying guide
Floor Polishers & Scrubbers
Our pick
BISSELL Commercial BGFS650 Hercules Scrub & Clean
Start with the BGFS650 for bare-floor scrubbing and polishing with supplied brushes and pads. Choose the Prolux Core for its broader brush and pad kit, or the Oreck Orbiter when you want to select cleaning pads for several floor-care tasks.1–4
Before you buy: The BGFS650 is not for carpet. Use a dedicated floor-cleaning product and keep the machine moving rather than holding it over one spot.5
