The Tornado Microburst (model TS040-W17-U) is a battery-powered micro-scrubber that replaces the mop and bucket in spaces a standard walk-behind cannot enter. At 17.9 inches wide and 40 lbs, it moves through 36-inch doorways and into restroom stalls and narrow corridors. Dual 8.5-inch counter-rotating brushes apply 45 lbs of down pressure across a 17.5-inch path, scrubbing up to 19,000 sq. ft. per hour and recovering water through a squeegee so floors dry in a single pass. A 36V LFP battery (sold separately) powers it, and at 67 dB(A) it runs in occupied buildings during business hours.
Restrooms and lobby entrances are the core use case, where the 17.9-inch width slips between toilet fixtures and into entry vestibules that block a 20-inch machine. Retail showrooms and restaurant dining rooms run it between service periods, and clinic corridors lined with equipment benefit from its turn-in-place handling. For childcare and K–12 custodial teams, the detach-rinse-dry routine fits daily schedules without adding downtime.
Two counter-rotating brushes cancel each other's side forces, so the machine tracks straight instead of pulling to one side the way single-brush compacts do. Power mode runs 435 RPM for grout and textured tile; ECO mode drops to 365 RPM to stretch runtime to 2 hours and ease wear on smooth floors. The recovery tank holds 2.1 gallons against a 1.3-gallon solution tank, so the dirty side fills last.
The 36V LFP battery (MB027) drops in and the magnetic brushes lock on without tools; the charger is included and refills the pack in 3 hours.
