I think the floor im trying to clean is weird. It didn't get in the grooves as well as I needed but it def has potential for other floors

Having looked for a small buffer to use on my wood floors that require periodic waxing. This fits the job perfectly because it's compact and easy to store. It only got four stars because I was unaware that in order to use buffing pads you need to buy the pad holder attachment, a $50 item. I'm not sure how many people will only use the brush attachment, but I expect many will also want to use pads, thus the overall cost gets a boost.

It's heavy to take out of the closet but then tipping it and using the wheels to move around is super. The controls are handy and it's easy to maneuver. It has saved me time and back breaking scrubbing. It's probably more than I need but my floors and carpeting look much better.

I have used this to clean a basement floor made of vinyl tiles which hadn't been cleaned for many years. The last time I cleaned it I used a rental buffer which worked fine but was a pain to handle, transport and lug down the stairs. The floor went too long between cleaning (my fault of course) and was just all marred up with drag marks, stains and heal marks. After clean with heavy duty stripper the mop water was filthy but the stains remained. The prolux core with a 3m red buffing pad made short work of the stains and got the floor to look as good as it could look. I plan to use the prolux with blue micro fiber buffing pads to keep it clean going forward. Our home is all hard wood flooring and I will try it out in the next few months to see how well it cleans them. To use the buffing pad you lift the prolux and "drop" it onto the friction fit pad attachment but when you put the handle down that mechanism is so tight you really have push down which raises the base off the pad attachment resulting in a less than good fit. When you tilt it forward it re-engages the handle lock and you get to start all over. Arggh. It the one feature I dislike but, I really, really dislike it. I think I may take the spring out so the release pedal will go down with a light tap. Then to re-engage it I know I would need to tap it back into place when the handle is upright.

I was expecting a bit more from it. It just seemed to take longer to clean a small area. I am going to try it with the cleaner/stripper next to see if it goes faster and a bit easier. Otherwise it is going to take forever to get my floors done.
