New Tennant BR-1600-NDC 20" 1600 RPM Walk-Behind Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The BR-1600-NDC is a no-frills corded burnisher for facilities that want a shine without the cost or upkeep of a battery machine. It plugs into a standard 120 V outlet with a 75 ft cord, so there are no batteries to charge or replace and it runs as long as you need it to. The 20 in pad spins at 1,600 rpm, which is a good speed for keeping finished floors glossy between deeper maintenance, and Tennant rates it at up to 10,000 sq ft per hour. The housing is corrosion-proof polyethylene, and the low-profile base gets under furniture, around radiators and into toe kicks. The floating handle adjusts for the operator and the twist grips have a safety lock. There is no dust control on this model, so plan on dust mopping after you burnish. If you want dust control and a faster pad, the BR-2000-DC is the step up. For schools, offices and smaller retail floors, this is a simple, dependable machine.”
