Oreck Surface Scrub Hard Floor Cleaner - Corded

In 3 months I've tried the Hoover Spinscrub, and both of the Bissell hard floor cleaners. This is BY FAR the best of the four.Pros:Easy to clean - front lip of the cleaning head comes off, and the entire floor assembly easily disconnects, so you can rinse the whole thing out.Cleans well - I've used this on tile, hardwood, and rubber mats (I train dogs), and it has done exceeding well on all of them. Keep in mind that if something is really sticky, you're going to have to scrape it off first, but that has been the case with ALL of the cleaners I've tried.Suction to pull the water off the floor is superior. While there's always a little water left, everything was dry within 10 minutes. Important when you have puppies running about.Longer extension cord - I have an open floor plan, and don't have to reconnect to a new outlet every 8 feet. Makes cleaning faster.Uses a bit more solution to clean, but doesn't leave suds behind.Solution and dirty water tanks are a good size, and SO much easier to clean!!Cons -Machine is a bit heavier than some - but this isn't a major deterrent for me. The weight difference is negligible.The trigger for the solution is stiff. I recommend only holding it down for shorter periods, to give your hands a bit of a rest, and only use it on cleaning strokes.My biggest complaint.....Oreck does not honor the 3 year warranty, unless you purchase from them. Which is extremely unfortunate. Amazon, or it's sellers need to come to an agreement. The additional coverage offered via Amazon is INCLUDED, when purchased through Oreck, with NO additional cost.I've returned this item - but ONLY because of the warranty issues. I bought the same exact system through Oreck, and will keep using the device - regularly.

This Oreck is pure garbage. Just tried to use it for the first time and there is absolutely no suction. Followed all the troubleshooting steps and STILL no suction. DO NOT BUY!!!!!! I only got it because my mother wanted something lightweight and she has used Oreck vacuums. Big Mistake!!!!! Unfortunately I waited past 30 days to try it so I am stuck with a $70 paperweight. I look forward to SMASHING it into a 1000 pieces. Oreck should be ashamed to sell such a lousy device. Will NEVER buy any Oreck products again.

This is a great Machine for just a quick clean, I would not recommend this to deep clean or for hard stains . This machine is for somebody who already keeps their floor very clean.. it’s just for maintaining your floor.Are use this machine for my kitchen floor once to twice a week just to keep the light dusting of dirt that comes in instead of having to get on my hands and knees it does save my back.

For years I have been using a H**ver product the Fl**rmat* I have purchased at least 6 of them. That's right, 6 of them in four years. I use my hard floor cleaner several times a day because I have a dog that was never properly trained and she goes to the bathroom on the floor around the house. The other product I used to use is not made to last. Not for daily use. Each one of them will not last longer than 6 months. The Oreck Surface Scrub Hard Floor Cleaner does the job right. Seems to be built and designed better. Part seem to be built with stronger materials, it is just a tougher machine. The motor sounds stronger yet not loud as the competitor. It has a longer cable and it holds more water. Only thing i didn't like about it that the competitor beats the Oreck is that the Oreck does not pick up the water as good and fast as the competitors. In scrubbing mode it picks up very little and in drying mode it does well but still requires having to change mode constantly and going over the surface various times to get the surface dry. If Oreck fixes that small yet important characteristic their machine would become unbeatable. Perhaps chaging the size of the squeege will do the trick.

I would give this 5 stars but nothing in life is perfect.I don't know what all the negative reviews are about. This does what it's supposed to. I have had numerous Hoover Floor Mates in the past. All their motors burned out within about a year. When I saw this Oreck, I thought it might be more durable.I just used this and it works great on my ceramic tile floors. The major difference between the Floor Mate and the Oreck is the wash/dry system. With the Floor Mate the brushes spin all the time. It suctions up the cleaning solution on forward and backward passes. The Oreck has a separate wash/dry setting where the brushes stop on the dry setting and you can suction the floor dry. What I did was do a section of the floor on the wash mode, then switch over to the dry mode and get up all the cleaner. On both the Floor Mate and the Oreck, I had to fill the reservoir twice to clean the entire house. I noticed the water in the dirty water holding tank looked the same when I used the Oreck versus the Floor Mate.The Oreck is louder than the Floor Mate, but not much worse than a regular vacuum cleaner. I got it for less than $100. Definitely worth it. I also like that the cleaning head on the Oreck is narrower than the Floor Mate, so I have to move less furniture to clean.

Really disappointed drops a lot of water and not great on suction , had to go over with a dry mop did not look clean felt like it pushed around waterNot sure if this is good for my floors
