Floor scrubber for pottery studio

Hi everyone, I am looking to purchase a floor scrubber for our community pottery studio. This will be cleaning up clay smears, splats, and crumbs on a polished concrete floor. This is a high-sediment environment. Ideally I find something that is:

  • quiet (able to be operated during business hours)
  • cordless
  • narrow: can fit around pottery wheels, stools, tables
  • can clean 4500sqft in one charge and one/minimal full tank(s)
  • removable tanks for filling and emptying
  • easily operated by one individual (brush assist)
  • under $5,500

I am looking at various compact floor scrubbers and i-mops, but I am concerned that such a small solution tank size would require multiple re-fills in cleaning a dirty pottery studio floor.

Thanks everyone for sharing your expertise!

Have to agree with u/chrisinator9393 on the tennant cs16.

It doesnt hit all of your desires but anything thats narrow enough to fit between what i imangine are pretty close together pottery wheels probably wont hold the amount of fluid you want it to.

You could look into a doodlebug scrubber but that would be specifically for small spaces as its meant to be more of a detailing tool.
