Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a GHIBLI product to clean your floor
areas.
The scrubber-dryer you have purchased has been designed to
meet the user’s expectations in terms of user-friendliness and
reliability over time. Naturally, to obtain such important results we
have employed top-quality materials and components from the
world’s best manufacturers and we have also reduced the number
of the parts composing the GHIBLI scrubber-dryer.
Special attention has also been paid to the development of the
design which, in this case, does not only focus on aesthetic
results, but also on the efficient integration of functional and
technical aspects of the machine.
We are aware that in order to maintain the perfect quality over
time, constant updates are required, with a view to meeting the
expectations of those who use it in their daily activities. For this
reason, hoping you are satisfied with our product, we would very
much appreciate your cooperation in communicating to us any
comments or suggestions resulting from your daily use of the
machine.
