Refurbished Tennant M17 Battery Powered Industrial Floor Sweeper/Scrubber

This machine is a refurbished Tennant M17 battery powered industrial floor sweeper/scrubber.

What is a sweeper/scrubber?
This is the most popular combination sweeper-scrubber option. It can pick up bits of debris and perform wet cleaning at the same time, in a single pass. This is possible thanks to cylindrical scrub brushes (pictured above in the middle of the machine). These brushes are able to deposit small objects in the hopper and perform wet-cleaning on the floor at the same time. In other words, if your scrubber has a cylindrical brush and somewhere to put solid debris, it can be considered a scrubber-sweeper.

There are several advantages of a scrubber-sweeper over a sweeper-scrubber. Since all of a scrubber-sweeper’s cleaning is done at once, it ends up being a more compact machine with a comparatively simple construction. This means greater ease-of-use, lower maintenance costs, lower machine cost, and higher maneuverability and visibility.

On the other hand, scrubber-sweepers aren’t capable of the sweeping strength of a dedicated sweeper or a sweeper-scrubber. If you’re dealing with heavy dust, dirt, and larger debris, the scrubber-sweeper’s cylindrical brush will struggle to handle it. If that’s your situation, you’re better off getting a sweeper to complement your scrubber-sweeper, or a sweeper-scrubber. Also, since scrubber-sweepers always scrub and sweep simultaneously, they’re only built to be used indoors.
