Product Details
The Oreck Orbiter floor machine is versatile enough to do it all. It strips, waxes, buffs, sands and refinishes any floor surface, and also works as a carpet cleaning machine. Whether your floors are marble, vinyl, wood or carpet, the Oreck Orbiter uses a revolutionary oscillating motion that makes it the easiest commercial floor machine to use and maintain in the industry. No torque, no brush marks, no swirls, no sanding marks, no gouges, no big bills from outside contractors, no hanging on for dear life, no belts, no gears, no motor brushes to wear out, no water that can soil and mildew carpets, and best of all - no experience necessary! The 1/2 HP motor can handle it all.
We recommend this scrubber for small residential and simple commercial clean up jobs. The Orbiter provides a 13" cleaning path when using a brush, but uses 12" pads with its pad driver. You get a wider cleaning path with a brush because the bristles flare out to provide a little more cleaning action.
For more cleaning options, that include machines with larger motors, and larger cleaning paths, please take a look at our complete line of floor scrubbing buffers.
The Oreck Orbiter also works as a carpet cleaner, loosening embedded soil in the carpet for vacuuming. Vacuum up the dirt and you can walk on your dry-cleaned carpets immediately. They'll be clean, soft, fresh-smelling and beautiful. We mainly feature all of the hard floor card products in our "Related Products" section, but we also have a carpet encapsulation brush, a 13" carpet scrubbing bonnet, and several different carpet cleaning chemicals available.
With the oscillating pad driver, the Orbiter reaches all areas of flooring, or carpeting, right up to the baseboard. All Oreck floor buffers are virtually maintenance free, with no gears, belts or motor brushes to wear out. They're built in America from durable zinc and steel. Plus, parts are readily available if ever needed, which is extremely rare.

I use this floor buffer at anytime when I do not want to get on my hands and knees to scrub, sand or buff a floor by hand. I got mine at a bargain and couldn't be happier with it. When I pass away maybe I will leave it to someone worthwhile, maybe not.

2400sf stained cement floor in den. Heavy traffic-spills-etc. This makes cleaning quick and I can rebuff quickly with the terry cloth.

This unit was better than expected. I purchased it to be used at my home on some fairly large floors. I've stripped wax, polished tile and buffed wax floors with this so far. It works very well. I can see this being used professionaly in bathrooms or smaller area's were a larger buffer just wouldn't fit. I used this buffer 5 hours straight right out of the box. I stopped every so often to feel the motor for heat, it never got more than a little warm. Solid construction and change over of components is a snap. It's small enough to fit in the back of your car but heavy duty enough to really get the job done. Would I recommend this unit?....sure would.

My entire house is ceramic tile except for carpeting in the bedrooms. I bought it to try and make my tile look better. I have tried steam cleaners and every other product out there, to no avail. I finally paid $600 to have my floors professionally cleaned. I noticed that that used the Oreck buffer to clean and buff my tile and grout. It came out like the day it was installed. So I bought one myself and now my floors always look great. I also cleaned my bedroom carpets and they also came out sensational. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
