Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read so many reviews at opposite ends of the spectrum. It's great, no it's horrible. Let me qualify my experience by detailing my use. I have engineered hardwood floors. I used to use "Pro Bona" floor cleaner. Good product, so I didn't think twice when I bought the Bona floor "polish." As you have probably read, that was a mistake. Huge mistake. Our floors couldn't look much worse. Wax build up that showed every footprint, dog print smudge as if it was baked into the wax. Disgusting filthy. Bopping around the Internet of things one discovers that I was not alone in my plight. The solutions were to use products to gently strip this filmy wax build up, including the Bona wax remover, which I couldn't bring myself to use since they were the culprit that started this fiasco. I bought windex and kutter klean. Both less expensive than the Bona wax remover. I did read reviews for windex and kutter klean where poor people used these cleaners on their hands and knees, said it worked but it was a lot of time and elbow grease. So I went searching for a consumer friendly floor buffer and found the Gloss Boss, along with a slew of negative reviews. I read reviews all the time and SMH at people complaining about an "App" ...that was free. Before I ordered the Gloss Boss I came to the conclusion that the negative reviews must be of similar type to the "App" reviewers that complain about free. Nonetheless I did cross my fingers. At the same time, I paid $88 for a consumer floor buffer! Are you kidding me! My vacuum cost 3X as much and it's made of plastics. If you don't like plastics people, go buy yourself a commercial grade buffer and you'll get all the metal that you can handle. Me I'm glad I bought this little gem. Huge time saver. No my pads don't fly off, but I have smooth hardwoods. Yes there is no on/off switch. Get over it people, most commercial units don't have that either. Directions weren't great, but again all you are doing is attaching a three piece handle. Easy enough that a caveman could do it. It is light weight. I think that's an attribute not detrimental. Easy to carry. Easy to store. You want heavy? Go for the commercial metal buffer units and open that checkbook or your Apple Pay. As for my floor, Windex worked the best. Spray on leave on for a minute or so, used these little green pads similar to a scotch brite sponge on the Gloss Boss, and went over the surface easily and quickly. Floor was still wet. I chose to towel dry it. Wax build up was gone and no elbow grease. Our nice looking floors were back! If your expectations match the $88 bucks, which is less than two tanks of gas in an SUV and you have smooth floors, you'll be happy just like me.
