New Tennant CS16 Walk-Behind Micro Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The CS16 is a small scrubber for the spots a mop still handles in most buildings: restrooms, break rooms, checkout lanes, nurses' stations and the floor around fixtures. It scrubs with a 13.8-inch pad and picks up behind itself in one pass, so the floor is dry and safe to walk on right away. It weighs under 80 pounds without batteries, and the handle folds down so it stores in a janitor closet.
Both packages are the same machine; the choice is the battery. The sealed AGM package runs up to 60 minutes, or about 70 in Eco Mode, which is plenty for a few restrooms and small areas a day. The lithium-ion package runs up to 75 minutes and suits crews that will use it more than once a shift. Neither battery needs watering. Use Eco Mode when people are around; it drops the noise to 66 dBA.”
A 14-inch micro-scrubber for restrooms, aisles and other tight spaces
The Tennant CS16 is a compact, battery-powered walk-behind micro floor scrubber with a 13.8 in (350 mm) pad-assist disk deck, a 3.9 gal (15 L) solution tank and a 4.4 gal (16.5 L) recovery tank. Tennant built it for hard-to-reach areas in hospitals, retail stores, convenience stores and offices, where a full-size scrubber can't turn around. The low-profile body cleans around and under obstacles, separate tanks keep clean and dirty water apart, and the handle folds down to 26.1 in (665 mm) high so the machine stores in a crowded closet.
