If you’re looking for a durable, easy-to-use auto scrubber that’s built to perform in commercial and gym floor environments, the Nacecare TT1120 is a smart choice. In our unboxing and demo, Joe from City Floor Supply walks through every part of the machine—from setup to operation—showing how it delivers efficient deep cleaning with professional results.
Inside the Box
The TT1120 arrives well-packed and thoughtfully designed for portability. Joe starts by unpacking the components:
- 11-gallon recovery tank
- 20-inch drive block (for attaching scrubbing pads)
- Parabolic squeegee assembly
- Mounting knobs and manuals
At about 200–250 pounds when filled with water, the TT1120 is lighter than many battery-powered models thanks to its corded electric design, making it ideal for transport in work vans and tight spaces. The entire unit can be broken down into three easy-to-carry pieces for mobility between job sites.
Easy Assembly & Setup
The TT1120’s hoses are color-coded for simple setup—red to red, black to black—so there’s no confusion about where each connection belongs. The 20-inch drive block features a standard clutch plate compatible with most pads, from white to black, depending on how aggressive you need your cleaning to be.
Running at 180 RPM, the scrubber provides excellent coverage and a consistent scratch pattern, making it ideal for screening or cleaning large surfaces efficiently.
Adding the Squeegee and Adjusting for Performance
The parabolic squeegee is designed for maximum fluid pickup and easy maintenance. You can fine-tune the caster height for optimal suction. Blade replacements are simple—just pop out the rings, replace the squeegees, and reassemble.
The non-marking gray transport wheels make it easy to maneuver over steps, curbs, and uneven flooring. Everything from assembly to teardown is built for speed and convenience.
Operation & Cleaning Power
Once the TT1120 is assembled and plugged into a standard 110V outlet, it’s ready to work. The controls include vacuum and solution solenoid switches, adjustable handle height, and a built-in circuit breaker reset.
He fills the clean water tank, adjusts the solution flow valve to maximum, and shows how the solution switch only activates once the drive head starts spinning—a safety and efficiency feature. The machine dispenses solution evenly across the pad, scrubs at 180 RPM, and the parabolic squeegee immediately vacuums up debris and liquid in a single pass.
In our demo, runs three passes with just the solution and a final one with the vacuum engaged, demonstrating how effectively the TT1120 picks up fluid without leaving residue. With a 20-inch cleaning path, this auto scrubber can handle up to 20,000 square feet per hour, depending on conditions.
Easy Emptying & Maintenance
The recovery tank can be drained through a side hose or detached completely for emptying in a janitor’s sink or floor drain. The clear hose for the solution tank doubles as a sight gauge so you can easily monitor fluid levels.
Inside the recovery tank, there’s a built-in float system that automatically shuts off suction when the tank is full, plus a filter and debris catch for easy rinsing and maintenance.
