Boy oh boy…This little gem of a machine helped us tremendously at our previous hard floor job! Its called the Oreck Commercial Orbiter, and we’d like to talk about some of the reasons why we like this little machine so much. Before we get into that though we just want to share that we are in no way sponsored by Oreck, or are affiliated with them in any way. We just like this product and think you will too. If you do like what you read in this blog post and decide to get one, follow one of the amazon links we provided and make your purchase. We get a very small kick back that goes straight to supporting more content like this. Alright lets get on with it!
If you're looking for a powerful and efficient floor cleaning tool, the Oreck Orbiter is an excellent choice. This compact and lightweight machine offers many benefits over conventional tools like a deck brush or a larger floor buffer for certain applications. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using the Oreck Orbiter and why it is a totally smart investment for janitorial services.
Size and Weight
One of the primary benefits of using the Oreck Orbiter is its size and weight. Let us tell you from experience, this thing is so much easier to load and unload out of our van than a buffer. I almost threw my back out unloading a buffer recently! The Orbiter is a compact machine that is easy to maneuver while you are using it, making it perfect for cleaning tight spaces like edges, behind furniture or pillars and hard-to-reach areas like behind toilets and under partitions. Whether you need to clean a small room or a large facility, the Oreck Orbiter can handle the job.
Maneuverability
Another benefit of the Oreck Orbiter is its maneuverability. The majority of the Orbiter made out of metal making it really durable and is designed to be easy to operate. With motions both back and forth, or even swinging side to side, it allows you to adjust the speed and direction of the machine quickly as needed. This once again makes this little cleaning powerhouse easy to use around obstacles, such as furniture or equipment, without damaging walls, baseboards, or the floors. The Orbiter also features a low profile design, which means again it can easily fit under tables, chairs, and other low-clearance areas like restroom partitions.
Versatility
Perhaps the most significant benefit of using the Oreck Orbiter is its versatility. The Orbiter can be used for a wide range of cleaning tasks, including stripping, scrubbing, sanding, and buffing floors. There are a myriad of different brush attachments in different stiffnesses for use on different soils and floor types. The pad driver attachment is awesome! It allowed us to utilize this machine for stripping a VCT floor, getting the edges done neatly and around the toilets. You can use any 12 inch pad with the Oreck which opens up a lot of other possibilities like carpet encapsulation with a bonnet or drying floors quickly with a microfiber pad. All this makes it an ideal tool for janitorial services that need to perform different cleaning tasks on a regular basis. Compared to traditional janitorial tools like a deck brush or a larger floor buffer, or heck even a carpet extractor, the Oreck Orbiter offers several distinct advantages. Its small size and light weight make it easy to transport and maneuver, while its versatility means that it can be used for a wide range of cleaning tasks. The Orbiter's intuitive controls also make it easy to operate, which can save time and reduce the risk of damage.
So guys, if you're looking for a powerful and versatile floor cleaning tool, the Oreck Orbiter is an excellent choice. For us it was a no brainer! Its size, weight, maneuverability, and versatility make it ideal for janitorial services that need a reliable and efficient cleaning solution. With the Oreck Orbiter, you can clean your floors quickly and effectively, and keep your facility looking its best.
