Product details
This Tornado ultra lightweight upright carries a 13 in. cleaning path at 9.75 lb., listed by Tornado as model CKULW 13/1 and ordered here under SKU TV280-W12-U.
Weight is the deciding factor for anyone buying an upright to carry rather than push. A cleaner covering several floors, a stairwell, or a long corridor of rooms in one shift ends up hauling the machine as often as running it across a surface, and a heavier body turns that into fatigue that builds hour over hour. The 13 in. nozzle splits the difference between coverage and maneuverability: enough width to clear a hallway at roughly 2,431 sq. ft. per hour, narrow enough to slip between desk legs and low furniture a wider head would have to work around.
The dual-speed switch on the handle is the feature that keeps this from being a stripped-down machine. Low is for bare floors and for anywhere noise matters, high is for carpet, and the sound rating moves from 75 dB(A) to 78 dB(A) between them. Collection is a 2-stage HEPA bag at 7.4 qt., a large bag for a body this light, which means fewer stops to change one mid-route.

Tornado sells more than one lightweight machine in its commercial lineup, so confirm the CKULW 13/1 model number against your own unit before ordering bags or a drive belt, since a bag sized for a wider Tornado upright will not seat correctly in a body built this narrow.
