New Tennant P1 VAC Autonomous Robotic Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Tennant P1 VAC fits facilities that vacuum the same carpeted and hard floor areas every day and want that routine off the cleaning team’s list, such as offices, schools, residential buildings and customer-facing spaces. It vacuums, sweeps and dust mops in one machine. Tennant rates it at up to 7,500 sq ft/hr without the side brush, with a 17.25 in cleaning path when the side brush is used. Runtime is up to 3.5 hr in Standard mode and recharge time is 1.5 hours, so pairing it with the P1 CHRG dock for opportunity charging keeps it available through the day. Tennant rates every vacuuming mode at under 65 dB, which suits daytime cleaning around occupants. The V-shaped anti-tangle brush and the 2.6 gal (10 L) dustbin both reduce how often someone has to step in. It travels through openings as narrow as 23 in. If your floors need wet scrubbing rather than dry soil removal, an autonomous scrubber such as the X4 ROVR is the better fit. The P1 VAC is also limited to inclines of 8° or less and obstacles up to 0.8 in, so steep ramps and tall thresholds may call for a different machine.”
An autonomous vacuum that vacuums, sweeps and dust mops carpet and hard floors
The Tennant P1 VAC is an autonomous floor vacuum for everyday cleaning of carpeted, hard and mixed floors in commercial buildings. Tennant rates it at up to 7,500 sq ft/hr without the side brush, with a 17.25 in cleaning path using the side brush and up to 3.5 hr of runtime in Standard mode.
It runs on a 28.8V 30Ah Li-ion battery that recharges in 1.5 hours. Paired with the P1 CHRG dock, it uses autonomous docking and opportunity charging to stay available for cleaning with minimal operator intervention.

Questions
Tennant P1 VAC: common questions
Does the P1 VAC clean both carpet and hard floors?
Yes. Tennant lists short and long pile carpet, wood sports flooring, VCT, LVT, polished concrete, terrazzo, marble, Mondo flooring and ceramic tile, and the brush adjusts automatically to different surfaces.
How long does it run on a charge?
Tennant rates it at up to 3.5 hr in Standard mode, with a 1.5 hour recharge time. Actual runtime depends on the cleaning mode, floor types and how the machine is used.
How many square feet can it clean per hour?
Tennant rates maximum vacuuming efficiency at 7,500 sq ft/hr (700 m²/hr) without the side brush. Real coverage depends on the layout, obstacles, cleaning mode and charging breaks.
Will it fit our aisles and doorways?
Tennant specifies a 23 in autonomous travel-through width, a 29 in aisle for a 90° turn and a 35 in U-turn width. It handles inclines up to 8° and obstacles up to 0.8 in.
Is it quiet enough for daytime cleaning?
Tennant rates it at under 62 dB in Gentle mode and under 65 dB in Standard and Heavy Duty modes, which suits occupied spaces.
What does the P1 CHRG dock need?
The dock needs a hard, level floor and 36 in (91 cm) of clearance at the left, right and front. The charger takes a 100-240V, 50/60Hz input at 750W.
