Bissell Commercial BigGreen BGFS650 Hercules Scrub and Clean Floor Machine, Green

After a long time searching for a hard-surface floor cleaner, I finally have found almost exactly what I was looking for. I like that the various accessories are included. The size is good for a small-medium area (my kitchen & dining area combined are about 125 square feet). In my younger days I operated one of those larger (18-24" diameter) commercial floor polishers so I was prepared for some torque from this machine, but I found this unit to be very easy to manage, even with one hand. The only thing I can say I dislike is the on/off operation through moving the handle away/toward the base. I understand the reason for this to keep the design simple, but I'd rather have some kind of a switch at the top of the handle at the grip.I was not able to find the recommended Bissell cleaning solution, so I purchased something else suitable (Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner and Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Finish). I used the cleaner with the brushes and the cleaning pads, and the finish with the soft blue pads, and it really brought my neglected linoleum floor back to a semblance of clean & shiny.

Easy to use, durable really did clean the floors I wanted to clean. The size is perfect very light weight great value for the money I spent.

First off, this floor scrubber is NOT an industrial deep grout cleaning machine. After reading the reviews I understood that before buying.The machine is VERY lightweight and has several warnings both on the machine and in the directions not to apply any weight to force the scrubbers, if you do this you will wear the motor out long before the machine is ready to die.This is a SURFACE scrubber, so if your grout is even a millimeter indented from the surface of the tile it will NOT scrub your grout.So why did I give it four stars? Because what it does do is scrub the floor. If you are looking for something to scrub a floor that does not have grout and is all the same level, or if you are looking to scrub tiles and handle your grout separately this is an awesome little machine! The previous owners of our house had painted the bathroom floor tile with latex paint. I had been hand scrubbing the paint off on my hands and knees with a scrub brush. After purchasing this floor scrubber I was able to do the entire floor in about an hour and it removed all of the latex paint with no effort on my part other than moving the machine along the floor. HOWEVER, due to how lightweight the machine is it does not apply any pressure at all to the scrubbers. There were a few spots on the floor of toilet seal wax, from where my husband had replaced our toilet. No matter how many times I went over it with the scrubber it would not scrub the wax off, only loosen it and I went over it with a towel and pulled it off.It is a great shower floor scrubber for maintenance cleaning, but again not if you were trying to remove years of staining and dirt from the grout.Conclusion - this is a great little machine for removing dirt and lightly stuck on debris from flat, even surfaces. It is extremely light and easy to carry up and down stairs. It doesn't take up much room in a utility closet and there are no tanks to clean or empty. It does NOT have the power of machines that you would rent but is great for making maintenance cleaning easier and faster.

I couldn't give it less than one star or I would haveThis machine is going back. I used for at least 20 extremely frustrating minutes to oil a floor until it over heated and wouldn't turn back on. Despite what the directions tell you, you will not be able to walk a zig zag pattern with a 1meter by 1 meter square. It won't happen. This machine generally wants to go wherever it puts its mind to it. You can try keeping it level but it will sneak away on you and smack into the wall. Also bc its so light and has a tendency to fire off in arbitrary directions (mostly to the left) it will also spray the oil that you are trying to apply to the floor all over the wall.Do not buy this. I would not wish this machine on people that I don't like.In all seriousness, I get what Bissell was trying to accomplish. I ended up putting this back in the box, running to the big box hardware store and renting a 20" floor finisher/waxer and using that for the second coat after the little Bissell that couldn't failed me 1/10th of the way thru the first coat so I had to apply by hand. The big machine weighs a ton, can be equally hard to control, but also bc it has significant weight it's easier to find that sweet spot balance point so it doesn't spin around you in some crazy death dance.So please, until Bissell turns down the power or adds some weights, or something, don't buy this machine. It's low price and compact cuteness will just disappoint you

I love this product. It is very easy to use. It comes with a different pads that you need to clean the floor.It has pretty long cord so that you can clean a lot of floor and not have to keep plugging your machine inIt is not very loud. I really like it!

And noticed there looked like there was some paint on the cord and on the plastic or the uh, the little black part here that I took a picture of on the handle. No, if it was used or not. But if it's used, then I don't know why I'm paying full price for it, but we'll see how it works and then I will reevaluate.

Our stone tiles have a very porous surface and have always been a nightmare to mop and clean. We can never get it fully clean with 4 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and endless foot traffic. Purchased this with the hopes that the spinning brush action would help get into the tiny cracks and grooves and at least break up the years worth of trapped dirt. We plan on using this periodically with swifter between for maintenance. First impressions: it’s super easy to assemble and use. Just let it glide back and forth and let it scrub under its own power. For half the price of more expensive versions, I’d say this did exactly what I hoped and more. Did more effective cleaning in 5 minutes than I’ve been able to do in hours spent over the course of years. Very very pleased.
