New Advance VL500 75 Wet/Dry Vac
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The VL500 75 is the biggest of Advance's VL500 wet/dry vacs, with a 19-gallon tank for jobs where a smaller vac means too many trips to the drain. The ERGO tip n' pour design lets you tilt the tank to pour it out, and the folding transport handle and adjustable handle make it easier to move around a building. One dual filtration system handles wet and dry pickup, so there's no filter swap between jobs.
All three packages are the same machine, so pick by how you'll use it. The squeegee package, with a front-mount squeegee kit installed in the field, is built for following a floor machine or picking up after stripping. The tools package, with an extension tube, floor nozzles and crevice nozzle, suits spills, flood cleanup and dry pickup. The Complete package gives you both. If you don't need the bigger tank, the 14-gallon VL500 55 is lighter at 52 lb versus 61 lb.”
A 19-gallon commercial wet/dry vacuum with the ERGO tip n’ pour design
The Advance VL500™ 75 is the largest model in Advance’s VL500 line of corded commercial wet/dry vacuums, with a 19-gallon tank. Its dual filtration system picks up liquids and dry debris without changing filters, and it pulls 101 cfm of airflow with 72 inches of water lift at the nozzle. The ERGO tip n’ pour design makes wet pickup and tank emptying easier, and an adjustable handle and folding transport handle help move it. Advance built the VL500 line for a range of applications, from small offices to large education, hospitality, healthcare and manufacturing facilities.
