The Koblenz Shampoo Polisher is the two-speed, twin-brush machine that does five jobs most homes and small facilities would otherwise need separate equipment for: scrub, polish, buff, wax and shampoo. It is the machine people buy when they have a mix of surfaces under one roof, hardwood in the living areas, tile in the kitchen and baths, and carpet or area rugs in the bedrooms, and do not want three appliances in the closet.
Built for
- Restoring hard floors. Scrub and then polish sealed wood, ceramic, vinyl, linoleum and stone back to a clean sheen.
- Applying and buffing wax. Lay finish down evenly and bring it up without hand work.
- Shampooing carpet and rugs. The 120 oz tank feeds solution to twin brushes for deep-cleaning carpet and lifting spots and stains.
- Small commercial spaces. Salons, offices, daycares, churches and rental units that need real floor care without a full-size industrial machine.
- Seasonal deep cleaning. Spring cleaning, end-of-lease turnovers and pre-holiday floor refreshes.
Twin rotating brushes are the key difference from a single-disc machine. Because the two brushes counter-rotate, the machine does not pull hard to one side, so it is far easier to guide than a commercial swing machine. That is also why it is safe for a homeowner or a non-specialist maintenance person to run. Full width bronze gears carry the drive, a long-life detail that separates this machine from plastic-geared consumer floor tools.
A two-speed motor lets you drop to the lower speed for scrubbing and shampooing and go up for polishing and buffing. The 120 oz solution tank means fewer refills on a whole-house pass, and the 12 inch cleaning path is wide enough to be efficient while still turning inside a hallway or bathroom. Brush and pad attachments for the different tasks are what set the machine up for each job, so plan which surfaces you are treating before you order.

Frequently asked questions
Can it clean carpet as well as hard floors?
Yes. With the shampoo brushes and the 120 oz solution tank it deep cleans carpet and lifts spots and stains. With pads or polishing brushes it scrubs, waxes, polishes and buffs hard floors.
Is it hard to control?
No. Twin counter-rotating brushes cancel most of the side pull that makes a single-disc commercial swing machine difficult. Most people are comfortable with it within a few minutes.
What does the two-speed motor change?
Use the lower speed for scrubbing and shampooing where you want agitation and dwell, and the higher speed for polishing and buffing where you want sheen.
Will it damage hardwood floors?
Not when the floor is sealed and you use the correct brush or pad and minimal solution. Never flood a wood floor, and test in an inconspicuous area first. Unsealed or waxed-only wood should be treated with caution.
How much solution does the tank hold?
One hundred twenty ounces, which is enough for a typical whole-floor pass in a house or small office without stopping to refill.
