Best fit: Specialist cleaning or manual detail work
Targeted Deep Cleaning
PolarX does not claim that every cleaning task can be replaced by Star60 or Star50. Heavy contamination, oil, sticky residues, stains, edge detail work and scheduled deep cleaning may still require targeted wet cleaning or manual specialist cleaning.
- Heavy contamination
- Oil or sticky residues
- Edge detail work
- Scheduled deep cleaning

What Each Robot Is Not Designed to Do
A clear comparison should also explain limitations. This helps customers choose the right product and avoids unrealistic expectations.
Star60 is not designed to replace every wet cleaning task
Star60 is designed for waterless daily floor care and high-frequency maintenance. Heavy contamination, oil, sticky residues, major spills and scheduled deep cleaning may still require targeted wet cleaning or manual specialist cleaning.
Star50 is not a wet scrubber or professional carpet extractor
Star50 is designed for industrial sweeping, dust control and debris collection. It should not be positioned as replacing specialist wet carpet cleaning, steam cleaning or scheduled deep carpet restoration.
Appropriate wording includes routine commercial carpet care, carpet dust control, daily carpet appearance maintenance and between scheduled deep cleaning.
Can Star60 and Star50 Work Together?
Yes. In larger facilities, Star60 and Star50 can support different cleaning zones.
Star60 may be used in customer-facing or occupied areas where instant-dry floor care, visual comfort and low-maintenance daily operation matter. Star50 may be used in warehouse, logistics, industrial or back-of-house zones where sweeping, dust control and debris collection are the main daily cleaning needs.
Together, they can help facilities separate commercial floor care from industrial floor cleaning instead of using one machine for every task.
Hotel or Commercial Building
Star60 for lobby, corridors and public areas. Star50 for loading zones, back-of-house and large service areas if applicable.
Healthcare Campus
Star60 for occupied care environments, corridors and waiting areas. Star50 for logistics, stores or large operational zones if required.
Warehouse with Offices
Star50 for warehouse floors, racking areas and dust control. Star60 for offices, reception areas and polished commercial floors.
Zone-based deployment
Star60 and Star50 zone-based deployment in one facility.
