Electric floor scrubbers come in corded and cordless designs. Corded scrubbers need to plug into an outlet for power, but they won’t run out of charge halfway through a good cleaning. Their cord length can also restrict their movement. But in most homes, this small inconvenience is easy to get around by using an extension cord or plugging it into different outlets. Note that many floor polishers won't be sold with these attachments, although they have accommodations for them. Manual floor scrubbers tend to be more maneuverable than electric models. They are thinner, lighter in weight, and tend to have smaller cleaning heads. Some have a swivel head or a pointed brush, allowing them to sweep into tight spaces or go deep into corners. Those with arthritis may want to consider swivel designs to avoid wrist aches and joint pain. The Bissell Spinwave 2307 is a great option.
