Product details
The 28 in. figure on the Torrent TW050-W28-U is measured with the side brushes folded out. Retracted, the machine sweeps 23.6 inches and passes through a standard doorway, which is the reason those brushes fold rather than sitting fixed.
Underneath is a Tandem Roller System of two counter-rotating brushes feeding a 10 gallon hopper, with a continuously active dust control motor drawing through a flat-pleat filter so a pass does not lift back into the air what it just collected. It reads 54 dB(A), quiet enough for occupied space, and a front-mounted LED headlight picks out debris under racking and in badly lit corners.
A 12 volt 75 Ah AGM battery and its charger come with the machine, giving about four hours of sweeping against a six hour recharge, so one pack covers a shift but not two back to back. Tornado rates it at 30,000 square feet an hour.
It weighs 181 lbs, measures 59 by 27.5 by 43 inches and rolls on oversized 14 in. front wheels with a single rear caster, which is what gives it a tight turn at the end of an aisle. Clearing loose grit ahead of a scrubber is worth doing on any route running both machines, since grit lifted by a wet pad wears the pad and the floor finish faster than a clean pass would, and it is also what jams a squeegee.
