Why the Numatic 220NX is the Smarter Choice Over Mopping
In the world of commercial cleaning, efficiency, sustainability, and hygiene are paramount. Traditional mopping, while familiar, often falls short in delivering consistent, high-quality results. Enter the Numatic 220NX Ultra-Compact Scrubber Dryer, a game-changing solution designed to replace mopping in even the most congested and hard-to-reach areas.
What is the 220NX?
The 220NX is part of Numatic's NX300 Pro Cordless Network, offering professional-grade cleaning in a compact, cordless format. With a 220mm cleaning width, it's engineered to access tight spaces where larger machines can't reach, making it ideal for retail, hospitality, healthcare, and education environments.
Despite its small size, the 220NX delivers unbeatable performance, rivalling much larger scrubber dryers. It's built for tough commercial use and rigorously tested to ensure industry-leading cleaning results time after time.
Key Features
