CleanFreak 18" Reliable 18E Electric Auto Scrubber w/ Nylon Brush - 8 Gallons - IES-18E-CF

The CleanFreak Reliable 18E electric auto scrubber redefines simplicity and value. It comes with a "Hands-Free" nylon scrub brush that automatically spins on and off. The operator never has to touch the brush, making it extremely easy to change out. When transporting the machine, simply detach the brush or pad driver (sold separately), and mount it to the side of the machine. The control panel is very simple to operate and transcends all languages, as pictures describe what each button powers.

With a removable recovery tank, you can easily dump your recovered solutions and clean it out. The clean solution tank can be emptied by opening the valve located on underneath the machine, on the left hand side, if you were standing behind the machine. A solution control valve is located just in front of the clean solution dump valve. Parallel with the ground is closed, perpendicular is wide open.

The Reliable 18E has an 18" scrub path, but is still very compact and easy to handle. Everything from the rugged materials used in production to the labor saving design makes this unit the most reliable, easy to use machine available on the market today. The price to quality ratio of the Reliable line is unsurpassed. For our best priced battery powered model that is comparable, but slightly larger, please take a look at the Performer 20.
The Reliable 18E comes with a brush that is compatible with most floor types, but it will not clean softer surfaces like rubber. For soft surfaces like rubber, we would advise purchasing the additional pad driver, and cleaning with a red or white pad.
