I learned more from this video than months of being a custodian lol. My job didn’t teach me anything despite me telling them that I’m new to the field, yet the higher ups act surprise when they see me doing expert things.
I think that the description of the video is wrong, you show how to use it but not what can be done with each machine, I thought you would describe their uses and what can be done with each one of them and their difference in detail.
Hi Angel, Thank you for watching our content. The response below is from Dan: A Scrubber is not a Buffer. Many people do use a scrubber like the Viper As5160b to take wax off the floor. If using convention stripper that is mopped on the floor (never put stripper in the clean water tank of any scrubber) you can wait 5 to 7 minutes and then use the scrubber with a black or Hi Pro stripping pads to remove the slurry and also rinse the floor. You can also use just water in the scrubber and scrub the floor with a SPP (surface prep pad) pad to wet sand and remove a couple of coats of wax. This can be very effective as most of the ground in dirt is in the top coats. We wish you the best!
Hi. Thank you for watching our content. A tank is typically an accessory you can purchase for a buffer. You could buy a model with a tank already attached, but mostly any model has a tank accessory that can be added on.

Hi! Thanks for watching our content. As noted in the video, there are several differences. The main differences between a buffer and a burnisher are the speed, motion, and floor maintenance procedures they complete. Buffers are low speed, operate in a side-to-side motion, and can be used to strip, clean, buff, or scrub a floor. Burnishers are high speed drive straight, and are only used to polish a floor. To learn more about the differences, check out this in-depth article: www.imperialdade.com/blog/differences-between-floor-buffers-and-burnishers Or, feel free to contact us and one of our Equipment Experts will assist you in understanding which is the right machine for your business: www.imperialdade.com/help-center/general-inquiries?pathname=/
Hi Terrance, It depends. If the tiles are Terrazzo or other type of stone which shines then yes, a burnisher will work. If the tiles are ceramic - no you will not get a shine out of them. If you're looking to clean these tiles and not shine them, your best option would be to use a buffer or autoscrubber rather than a burnisher. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions.

Good information but the motion sickness is gonna take a while to settle out.

Awesome video. Would a scrubber be considered a buffer. For instance, can I strip the floor with a Viper AS5160?

Can you use a burnisher on carpet?
No. You use a low speed buffer and bonnets but make sure your carpet is secured well before doing so.
Do they have the same or different purpose??
Hi, They have different purposes. Check out this article for more info: www.ebpsupply.com/blog/differences-between-floor-buffers-and-burnishers

@@ImperialDadeThanks a lot man now I understand it! Appreciate your explanation mate!
Can you use a burnisher on tile and grout?
Hi Terrance,
It depends. If the tiles are Terrazzo or other type of stone which shines then yes, a burnisher will work. If the tiles are ceramic - no you will not get a shine out of them. If you're looking to clean these tiles and not shine them, your best option would be to use a buffer or autoscrubber rather than a burnisher. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions.
is a burnisher also called a polisher?
Hi - Thank you for watching our content. Buffers are also know as "Polishers", or Swing Machines, or Side to Side - Not Burnishers.
You didn’t even mention RPM’s
