Lindhaus LW52 Flexy Professional Scrubber Drier

A 52 cm scrubbing deck is what sets the Lindhaus LW52 Flexy, SKU 193934681, apart from the narrower battery machines Lindhaus builds alongside it. Two brushes cover that 52 cm path, about 20.5 in, and deck width is the number to weigh against your floor plan: a wider deck clears an open room in fewer passes, a narrower one turns more easily in a corridor lined with furniture.

Power comes from a swappable battery pack on an external charger, so a spent pack comes off and a charged one goes on without the machine leaving the floor. Lindhaus specifies a 36 V, 300 W Rotafil brushless by-pass vacuum motor with three selectable settings of 200, 250 and 300 W, which set how hard the machine pulls water back off the floor and, with that, how long a pack lasts before it needs swapping.

• Brush width: 52 cm, 2 brushes
• Vacuum motor: 36 V, 300 W Rotafil brushless by-pass, 3 speeds (200/250/300 W)
• Power source: swappable battery pack, external charger
• Weight: 28 kg

At 28 kg, close to 62 lb, the LW52 is meant to be walked rather than lifted, so check the route between areas for steps before choosing it over a smaller machine. Sites that have both wide open floor and tight furnished corners often end up running a wide machine for the open sections and keeping a narrower one for the rest, rather than compromising on a single deck size.
