Floor Scrubber Dryers: Does Size Matter?
Reports have shown that a growing number of scrubber dryer models have a smaller, more compact design than their larger predecessors. Industry experts confirm that this trend is due to a shift in favour for the more compact designs, but why are the smaller models better?
Here at Alpha Power Cleaners, we’ve looked at why size could matter when it comes to scrubber dryers.

We appreciate that most floor scrubber dryers are quite big – you can site and drive them after all. However when they had first been introduced, floor scrubbers were quite bulky. But in today’s modern world, floor scrubber dryers are much more compact, and come with many more features.
Above is one of the early floor scrubber dryers from Karcher, as you can see it is quite bulky, and was rather heavy.
The more modern Karcher floor scrubbers are much more compact, easier to use, and have several new features.
Weight
One of the big benefits of smaller models is that by logic they weigh less, meaning less hassle transporting them from room to room. This is extremely useful for commercial cleaners who have large spaces to clean in a limited amount of time, and anyone who may struggle transporting one of the larger, clunkier models.
Power Consumption
Smaller models reduce the amount of water and energy consumed, which in turn contributes to big cost reductions for the overall running of the machine. Smaller models not only save money, but are also a more economical choice in saving on the amount of water used each time.
Flooring Damage
The reduced weight means smaller models can be handled easier over more delicate floors that could be prone to damage or scratching from heavy machinery. This is an important consideration for businesses where an attractive aesthetic is important.
Cleaning Small Areas
The small scrubber dryer models can be easily maneuverer into all the nooks and crannies of the building, which is ideal for premises with awkward rooms and corners to navigate. A larger model in this type of building would probably mean many areas being neglected, whereas smaller models ensure every surface area is cleaned efficiently.
Cost
Generally, smaller models will have a lower initial cost, although this does largely depend on the quality of the model itself. Price is often a number one concern for consumers, so the lower cost on smaller models acts as a big advantage to this design.
Storage
An obvious advantage of smaller scrubber dryers is that they are much easier to store. Smaller models can be tucked away in a storage cupboard and not take up much space, whereas larger models may require their own designate cupboard just for that machine!
How much does size matter?
Despite the obvious advantages of a smaller scrubber dryer, many industry experts still argue that price is the priority for buyers, followed by quality of the brand.
