New Tennant 1530 Cord-Electric Automatic Extractor
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The 1530 is the corded version of Tennant's 1510/1530 dual-mode extractor, and it suits buildings where an outlet is never far away: hotels, office floors, schools, churches and retail. With no batteries to charge or replace, it can clean as long as the shift runs, and the 75 ft, 14-gauge safety yellow cord gives a lot of reach between outlets. The 30 gal solution tank is the biggest difference from the battery 1510 and means fewer refills. A single 1.63 hp, 3-stage vacuum motor delivers 99 cfm and 117 in of water lift to pull solution back out of the carpet. You get two modes: interim surface cleaning at 100 ft per minute for routine maintenance and shorter dry times, and deep cleaning at 50 ft per minute for maximum soil removal. Top speed is locked in for each mode, so operators clean at the right pace, and starting is one button. Tennant rates it at up to 5,500 sq ft per hour, and at 395 lb it is the lighter of the two.”

Deep cleaning runs at 50 ft per minute for maximum soil removal. Interim surface cleaning runs at 100 ft per minute for routine maintenance and shorter dry times.
How much carpet can it clean in an hour?
Tennant rates the 1530 at up to 5,500 sq ft per hour.
Will it fit through my doorways?
