The price advantage of push - type floor scrubbers

Compared to ride-on floor scrubbers that often cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, walk-behind floor scrubbers are significantly cheaper. As for where this price advantage lies, it depends on the specific type. Different structures and design philosophies result in different price advantages. Let's first analyze the price advantage of walk-behind floor scrubbers by looking at the different types available. Walk-behind floor scrubbers can be mainly divided into the following categories.

1. Manual push single brush.

Second: Manual push self-propelled solo brush.

Three: Manual push-propelled double brush.

The reason we say there are only three types is that most walk-behind floor scrubbers fall within these categories. Walk-behind scrubbers with three brushes are very rare. This also applies to ride-on floor scrubbers. If a three-brush system were to be implemented, the price advantage would be lost. Let's analyze the price advantage below.

The most cost-effective option is the first type: a walk-behind single-brush scrubber. It consists of a brush motor, a water suction motor, a battery and charger, plus a casing and frame. That's it! Because it's simple and uncomplicated, manufacturing costs are significantly reduced. Previously, making a scrubber required creating molds and manufacturing the water tank (the outer casing). Now, that's unnecessary; water tank manufacturers sell their own tanks. You can buy finished molds without investing in them. This is a major price advantage. Generally, the price of a walk-behind single-brush scrubber has now dropped to around 7,000-9,000 yuan. Of course, this is the lowest quality machine. If you want better equipment, don't hesitate to spend a few thousand yuan more. Because once you buy it, you'll find that spending a few thousand yuan is worthwhile.

Walk-behind floor scrubber

The second type we'll discuss is the walk-behind/self-propelled single-brush floor scrubber. This type of scrubber is based on the first type, with the addition of a walking motor and controller. It's actually quite similar to the walk-behind single-brush scrubber mentioned above. The price difference isn't significant, as the cost of the motor and controller is a factor. Generally, the walk-behind/self-propelled single-brush scrubber will be about 1500 to 2000 yuan more expensive than the walk-behind single-brush scrubber. The price difference mainly stems from the brand reputation of the motor and controller. Parts from reputable brands will naturally be more expensive, which is normal. If the same walk-behind single-brush scrubber costs 10,000 yuan, then the walk-behind/self-propelled single-brush scrubber will cost around 12,000 yuan.

Having reviewed the first and second types, the third type needs little introduction. It's essentially the second type with the addition of a brush system. It simply adds a brush motor and a scrubbing brush. Since it's self-propelled, accessories like the controller are already included, so they're unnecessary. With the price of ride-on floor scrubbers continuously decreasing, walk-behind dual-brush models are rarely used anymore. The price of a walk-behind self-propelled dual-brush machine is now close to that of a small ride-on floor scrubber, making walk-behind models unnecessary. Finally, the price of a self-propelled dual-brush model is generally around 1500 to 2000 yuan more expensive than the second type.

After all that, the main advantage of walk-behind floor scrubbers is their lower price. Why are they cheaper? Because the mold costs for the water tank can now be reduced. Therefore, the price has been steadily decreasing. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. We can't assume a higher price means the seller is dishonest. Sometimes it's not that the seller is dishonest, but rather that our product is truly of high quality. Kuaiba focuses on the research and development and production of floor scrubbers.
