New NSS Charger 1500 20" Walk-Behind Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Charger 1500 is a corded high-speed burnisher for buildings that want a dependable shine machine without batteries or propane. NSS calls it the signature machine in its burnisher line, and its versatility is the reason. At 1,500 rpm it can burnish, spray buff and damp strip, so one machine handles routine gloss work and touch-up repair of worn traffic lanes. A 1.5 hp motor turns a 20 in pad on a flexible, built-in pad driver for smooth, balanced running, and NSS rates it at 9,545 sq ft per hour. It is built to last: a polished cast aluminum base offset for burnishing under counters, a 1.5 in steel tube handle, a heavy-duty metal cord strain relief and a 75 ft cord. At 98 lb with a removable handle, it moves between buildings easily, and an optional wheel carriage helps on stairs. It is a good fit for schools, churches, offices and smaller retail stores. NSS rates it at 64 dBA.”
A corded 20 in burnisher that can also spray buff and damp strip
The NSS Charger 1500 is a corded electric high-speed floor burnisher. A 1.5 hp motor drives a 20 in pad at 1,500 rpm through a belt and pulley, and NSS rates it at 9,545 sq ft per hour. That pad speed lets it burnish, spray buff and damp strip, so you can repair and restore worn finish in high-traffic areas without chemically stripping the whole floor.
It comes with a 75 ft, 14-3 extra-hard-usage cord and a 19 in balanced structural foam pad driver built into the machine.
Condition: New.

Questions
NSS Charger 1500: common questions
Is the Charger 1500 battery or propane powered?
Neither. It is a corded electric burnisher that plugs into a standard outlet and runs on a 75 ft cord, so there are no batteries to charge and no fuel to manage.
What can it do besides burnish?
At 1,500 rpm it can also spray buff and damp strip. That lets you repair and restore worn finish in high-traffic areas without chemically stripping the entire floor.
What pad size does it use?
It takes a 20 in pad on the built-in 19 in balanced structural foam pad driver.
How much floor can it cover in an hour?
NSS rates the Charger 1500 at 9,545 sq ft per hour.
Will it trip my building breakers?
The machine has its own circuit breaker set at 17.5 A, which NSS says reduces downtime caused by tripping building breakers. NSS lists a typical draw of 13 A at 115 V.
