Choosing the Right Orbital Floor Scrubber: i-scrub 30E vs i-scrub 30B

When it comes to maintaining clean and pristine floors in commercial settings, having the right floor scrubber can significantly enhance efficiency and results. In this article, we will dive into the features and benefits of two popular orbital floor scrubbers: the i-scrub 30E (cabled electric version) and the i-scrub 30B (battery powered). By comparing these two models, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities, helping you make an informed decision for your cleaning needs.

i-scrub 30E Electric Orbital Scrubber:

With a brush speed of 1650 RPM and a clean water tank capacity of 1.7 liters, both the electric and battery models offer exceptional performance. Equipped with a 30-centimeter cleaning width, the i-scrub 30E efficiently covers a substantial floor area, effectively reducing cleaning time. Its orbital scrubbing motion ensures thorough cleaning on various floor surfaces, including tiles, vinyl, and epoxy. The adjustable cleaning pressure and ergonomic handle further enhance user comfort and control during operation.

i-scrub 30B Battery-Powered Orbital Scrubber:

The i-scrub 30B is a battery-powered orbital floor scrubber designed for flexibility and mobility. With its cordless operation, this model is perfect for areas where accessibility to power outlets may be limited or inconvenient. The i-scrub 30B offers the freedom to move around without the hassle of cables, making it ideal for larger spaces or multi-level facilities.

Featuring a powerful lithium-ion battery, the i-scrub 30B delivers an impressive runtime, allowing for extended cleaning sessions. The battery can be easily removed and replaced, ensuring continuous operation by swapping in a charged spare battery. This feature is particularly beneficial in facilities with multiple cleaning shifts or areas that require prolonged cleaning without interruptions.

The i-scrub 30B can be operated using our i-power 9 or 14 batteries giving it a run time of 75 or119 minutes (about 2 hours) depending on which you choose to use. These batteries are also interchangeable and can be used with other i-team battery operated products such as the i-mop.

Similar to the i-scrub 30E, the i-scrub 30B utilizes the orbital scrubbing motion, providing effective and gentle cleaning on various floor surfaces. The adjustable cleaning pressure and ergonomic design enable operators to adapt to different flooring conditions, ensuring optimal results without causing any damage.

Comparison:

The i-scrub 30E and i-scrub 30B both offer remarkable features and benefits; however, their power sources differentiate them. The i-scrub 30E's cabled electric design provides continuous power supply, making it convenient for tasks that require sustained cleaning sessions. On the other hand, the i-scrub 30B's battery-powered operation offers mobility and versatility, making it well-suited for larger areas or locations where access to power outlets is limited.

Other factors to consider include the machine weight, the i-scrub 30E weighs 13.5 kg, making it slightly lighter than its battery-powered counterpart, which comes in at 14.4 kg. Additionally, the i-scrub 30E operates at a sound level of 80 dBA on carpets, while the battery version maintains a slightly quieter 77 dBA.

Conclusion

When deciding between these models, consider the size of the areas you need to clean, the availability of power outlets, and the desired level of mobility. If you prioritize uninterrupted power supply and operate in areas with easy access to electrical outlets, the i-scrub 30E's cabled electric convenience may be the ideal choice. However, if you require the freedom to move around without cables and prefer the versatility of battery power then the i-scrub 30B is the way to go.
