" ... The gloss boss does a good job on vinyl floors and an adequate job on carpets. ... "
" ... On flat floors, just go slow it cleans good. ... "
" ... Not sure what some people expect but this is a simple, easy to use, efficient floor scrubber for residential use. ... I used it to scrub an older linoleum floor. ... "
" ... Have used it to clean some spots in carpeting and it worked great. ... It saved a lot of manual scrubbing. ... "
" ... Not enough to break your back, but with the right cleaners it took up dirt that had been on this floor probably years before I moved in some 5 years ago . ... "
" ... Haven't had the grout cleaned in 20 year and the grout looks new. ... "
" ... I had been doing an extensive drainage replacement job in the basement and my vinyl kitchen floor was catching hell with me tracking dirt upstairs to it. ... It needed more than a simple mopping but I didn't need a heavy duty piece of equipment. ... It's a small, lightweight machine with just enough power to tackle a light duty scrub job, with just the rotating brushes and the right cleaning product. ... I used a mop and bucket to lay down the hot water and detergent mix. ... I probably won't use them for anything unless I decide to wax and buff the floor. ... "
" ... As good as you can get for a home cleaning product and not a professional cleaning service. ... "

" ... I used for home, vinyl floor and was great. ... "

" ... The base of the polisher has a scratch and the latch that holds the handle is bent. ... "
" ... Box looked like it had been opened when I recieved, but not always an indication it won't work, but in this case maybe . ... "
" ... Feels very cheap and light. ... "
" ... Well it did a great job until one of the brushes fell off and I can't get it back on. ... "
" ... The first one was used and broken. ... "
" ... : 1 the handles come loose from the base 2 the slot to set the handle in a fixed upright position are miss alinged 3 there is no on off switch other than pulling the wall plug 4 the rotating brushes seem out of sync so the whole unit has a distasteful wobble 5 the unit is too light to do a decent job of cleaning and buffing 6 the scrubing brushes come loose and are difficult to mount this is a poorly engineered device that could be fixed with minor mfg adjustments ... "
" ... I had a hard time pulling the handle back to start it and broke it the first time I used it. ... My suggestion is if you buy one be careful trying to pull the handle back to start it. ... "
" ... Cons : Dead on arrival, flimsy construction, ... "

" ... WRG's red pad hack was tricky but worth the effort. ... "
" ... I'm experimenting and hope I can find some kind of rubberized pad that will work. ... "
" ... The unit also came with a few different types of pads that fit over the brush heads. ... "
" ... Much easier than getting down on hands and knees. ... "
" ... I had previously had to do this floor on my hands and knees. ... It saved my back and did a better job than I could do by hand. ... "
" ... My home-made pads worked great and were more durable than the Koblenz pads. ... In certain situations, when the scrubbing pads are getting an uneven grip, the scrubber can “self-propel” right or left on its own, often quite strongly. ... "
" ... Arrived on time and more powerful than it feels. ... "
" ... You will get 5 or 6 round pads and the leftover makes great scrubbers for other uses (about ¼ of the cost of the worthless pads made for these scrubbers). ... Just place the pads you made carefully centered on the bristles of the circular brushes (the bristles and the fibers of the pad kind-of work like Velcro). ... Be sure the two pads don’t hit each other as they spin (make them smaller if you have to). ... The 2nd pic shows how to cut scrubbing pads. ... "
