New Powr-Flite Millennium 18in HD Buffers/Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“A 17 in swing machine is the size a lot of crews reach for when the job is a classroom, a restroom, a break room or an office suite with furniture to work around. The NM171HD gives you that maneuverable size with a 1.5 hp, 175 rpm motor and an all-steel triple planetary gearbox, so it has the torque for stripping and scrubbing as well as lighter buffing. Powr-Flite builds Millennium Edition machines heavier than most floor machines of the same size, and at 109 lb this one puts real weight on the pad. The patented one-piece rotationally molded housing cuts down on noise and vibration, which makes a long strip job easier on the operator. A thumb-activated safety interlock helps prevent accidental start-ups, and two 5 in non-marking wheels make it easy to move between rooms. Keep in mind the pad driver is sold separately, since many buyers already have one that fits. If you have long hallways and open floors, the 20 in NM201HD covers more ground per pass.”

Questions
Powr-Flite NM171HD: common questions
Is a pad driver included?
No. Powr-Flite sells the pad driver separately because many buyers already have one. Powr-Flite's options for this machine are the 717DP 17 in tufted pad driver or the TL16 16 in economy pad driver.
What size pads and brushes fit?
Powr-Flite recommends a pad the same size as the pad driver or 1 in larger, and a brush 2 in smaller than the machine size. For this 17 in machine, that means 16 to 17 in pads and a 15 in brush.
What jobs can it do?
It is a 175 rpm floor machine for stripping, scrubbing and other heavy work, and Powr-Flite says it is powerful enough for grinding. With a red pad it can also spray buff finished floors.
Why is it so heavy?
Powr-Flite builds Millennium Edition machines heavier than floor machines of a similar size. At 109 lb, the extra weight puts more pressure on the pad for better stripping and scrubbing results.
