Onyx unveils DX15 scrubber: 15in. power in tight spaces
For environments where every inch matters, North-Carolina, US-based Onyx has introduced the DX15 walk-behind floor scrubber, engineered to deliver professional-grade cleaning power in tight commercial spaces.
The DX15 is now in stock and available to purchase through approved distribution partners. This redesigned, next-generation machine, says Onyx, sets a new benchmark for compact commercial cleaning, offering a solution for facilities with limited storage and demanding efficiency requirements.
The DX15 is designed for optimal functionality and convenience. Its standout innovation is a fold-forward, nesting handle that collapses tightly against the machine, simplifying transport and storage in small closets, back rooms, or service vehicles. This space-saving design is ideal for operations where efficiency and compact footprints are critical.
Operators benefit from the DX15 's intuitive design, featuring simple controls, ergonomic geometry, and excellent balance. A 15in. working width, pivoting brush head and precision water control facilitate aggressive yet smooth cleaning, reaching right up to edges and fixtures with minimal effort. An onboard LED headlight enhances visibility and safety, making the DX15 easy to use for all experience levels.
"The DX15 delivers best-in-class value,” says the company’s marketing VP Stuart Proctor. “It’s unique fold-forward nesting handle and user-friendly controls make storage easy and operation intuitive for all. Customers will find it efficient, powerful, and a joy to own, maximising cleaning potential from small retail to commercial kitchens."
At the core of the DX15 is a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, providing consistent, full power from start to finish without voltage drop or performance fade. This advanced battery technology ensures long run times, fast charging, lighter overall machine weight, and exceptional battery longevity, ensuring the DX15 is always ready for demanding tasks.
Other features include:
* Adjustable handle height to accommodate operators of different sizes
* Precision water control: mechanical ball valve allows easy adjustment from the operator position
* Floating head skirt: eliminates wall and fixture splatter
* Easy rock-back design: optimised balance allows a single operator to easily change pads or transport the machine
* Onboard charger: convenient, built-in charging
* Industrial squeegee assembly: cast aluminum body with stainless steel strap and tool-less blade changes
* Premium squeegee blades: streak-free pickup and long service life
* Durable brush head: rotationally moulded plastic for maximum durability
The DX15 delivers a great specification at a competitive price point, demonstrating that compact machines can offer high performance, durability, and features without compromise. It is suited for convenience stores, small retail spaces, pharmacies, restaurants, commercial kitchens, and other tight commercial environments.
This introduction of the DX15 walk-behind floor scrubber marks the beginning of a major evolution in the Onyx product lineup. Over the next 18 months, the manufacturer will continue expanding its portfolio with lithium-ion powered versions of its floor scrubbers and several all-new machine designs, delivering smarter, cleaner, and more efficient solutions across every category.
