Tennant T380AMR · specifications, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The Tennant T380AMR is a compact autonomous floor scrubber launched in 2020, aimed at mid-sized retail, education and healthcare. It is the narrowest of Tennant's ride-on AMR range: a 500 mm cleaning width, 75 L of water, and ec-H2O NanoClean technology that cuts water and chemical consumption. It has a proven record in retail, with named references (Albert, part of Ahold Delhaize, and Denver Public Schools). Price and availability on request.

Reading by environment
Floors and soiling
Compact disc scrubber-dryer for hard floors: stuck-on and wet soiling on medium-sized areas cluttered with shop fittings. ec-H2O NanoClean reduces water and chemical use. No carpet. Large debris must be pre-swept.
What the manufacturer does not say
Real client references. Albert (Ahold Delhaize) and Denver Public Schools are named deployments, rare in our corpus: a genuine sign of maturity that many competitors cannot produce.
The gradient figure needs qualifying. 9° unladen, but 4° while scrubbing and in manual mode only: do not read the 9° as a working capability in autonomous mode.
ec-H2O NanoClean is not magic. The technology reduces water and chemical use, but this remains conventional hard floor scrubbing. Cost structure: machine plus consumables plus manual water handling.
Purchase or outsourced service
On a purchase (capex), the named references (Ahold Delhaize, Denver Public Schools) are reassuring on maturity, but the 9° gradient only applies unladen in manual mode: just 4° in autonomous scrubbing, an eligibility criterion that is easy to misread. Under an outsourced service (opex), the contractor validates the site and guarantees continuity. See the Pudu range and the on-site demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- The most compact of the ride-on AMRs (500 mm, 1,067 mm passage width).
- ec-H2O NanoClean: less water and chemical.
- Named retail references (Ahold Delhaize, Denver Public Schools).
Limits
- 500 mm brush: modest pace on large floor areas.
- No docking station, high price.
- Limited real working gradient (4° while scrubbing).
Alternatives
- Within the Tennant range: the X4 ROVR (native AMR, more manoeuvrable) for tighter spaces; the T7AMR above it.
- Against other compact autonomous floor scrubbers: the Kärcher KIRA B 50 and the Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro.
