New Tornado BR 18/11 18" Cylindrical Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“If you like the idea of a cylindrical brush scrubber but want to pick your own batteries, this is the BR 18/11 without batteries. The machine is the same: cylindrical brushes at 1,300 rpm that dig into tile, grout and textured surfaces while still handling smooth floors well, an 18 in path, an 11 gal solution tank and a 12 gal recovery tank. Tornado rates it at 17,969 sq ft per hour. It is compact at 21 in wide, so restaurants, kitchens, restrooms, clinics and school hallways are right in its wheelhouse. The 66 dB rating makes daytime scrubbing realistic in noise-sensitive buildings. The parabolic squeegee recovers on tight 180 degree turns and changes in 10 seconds or less, and a float shutoff protects the vacuum motor when the recovery tank fills. The onboard charger is built in. Buyers who already stock batteries, or who want a specific type, often go this route. Ask us which 24 V batteries fit, or look at the 99685C package with lead acid batteries included.”
An 18 in cylindrical scrubber, machine only
The Tornado BR 18/11 (Tornado number 99685) is a small walk-behind automatic scrubber with cylindrical brush technology. The brushes spin at 1,300 rpm for low-moisture deep scrubbing, and Tornado says they deliver four to six times more contact pressure than rotary brush scrubbing.
It carries an 11 gal solution tank and a 12 gal recovery tank in a roto-molded polyethylene body, and the parabolic squeegee is 31 in wide. This listing (99685) does not include batteries.
Condition: New.
