New Minuteman Tsunami 16 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Tsunami is a big-tank wet vac with a squeegee mounted on the front, and that combination is the whole point. Instead of mopping up a flooded restroom, a kitchen floor or a wet back hallway and wringing out a bucket over and over, you push the Tsunami and the 24-inch squeegee pulls the water into a 16-gallon tank. It fits facilities that deal with a lot of standing water but do not need a full autoscrubber for the job.
Choosing between the two models is simple. The T16W is the wet-only machine for crews that just need water pickup. The T16WD adds a dry tool kit with a 10-foot hose, a two-piece wand, floor, carpet, crevice and dusting tools, so with a cloth or paper bag in the tank the same machine also handles dry debris, corners and detail work.”
A 16-gallon wet/dry vacuum with a 24-inch front-mount squeegee
The Minuteman Tsunami is a commercial wet/dry vacuum built around a 16-gallon recovery tank and a 24-inch front-mount squeegee with primothane (urethane) blades. A foot pedal lowers the squeegee for water pickup on hard floors, and a dump hose drains the tank. The vacuum motor sits above the recovery solution, which Minuteman says protects it and extends its life. The wet/dry model adds hard-floor and carpet tools for dry vacuuming.
