Powr-Flite PFMW18 Multiwash XL Scrubber – 650 RPM, 7500 sq ft/hr
Powr-Flite PFMW18 Multiwash XL 18" Multi-Surface Scrubber: 7500 sq ft/hr Multi-Surface Cleaning
The PFMW18 Multiwash XL is the wide-path version of Powr-Flite's multi-surface scrubber — a 17" actual cleaning width (marketed as 18") delivering 7,500 sq ft/hr from twin counter-rotating 650 RPM cylindrical brushes. Like the PFMW14, it operates at 69 dBA, uses 30% less water and chemical than conventional scrubbers, and handles hard floors, carpet, wood, and sports flooring without pad changes.

High-Productivity Multi-Surface Cleaning for Larger Facilities
The PFMW18 covers 7,500 sq ft/hr — 36% more than the PFMW14's 5,500 sq ft/hr — making it the right specification for facilities where floor cleaning time is a bottleneck. Twin counter-rotating cylindrical brushes create a balanced scrubbing action that cleans more evenly across the full 17" path than a single-brush design, and the counter-rotation prevents the machine from pulling to one side under heavy soil loads. The self-cleaning brush system purges bristles at end of shift without operator contact with soiled material — important in healthcare and food service environments. At 69 dBA the PFMW18 qualifies for LEED daytime cleaning in occupied buildings, eliminating the need for after-hours cleaning crews.
PFMW18 vs. PFMW14 — When to Specify the Wider Machine
The PFMW18 and PFMW14 share the same Multiwash platform: 750 W motor, 650 RPM brush speed, 69 dBA, 30% water/chemical reduction, self-cleaning brushes, and 40 ft cord. The PFMW18 adds a 17" path (vs. 13" on the PFMW14) and 7,500 sq ft/hr capacity. This makes the PFMW18 the right choice for large hospital corridors, school cafeterias, open gym floors, and expansive retail spaces. The PFMW14's 15" × 17" footprint fits tight aisles and narrow restrooms that the PFMW18 (15" × 21.25") cannot navigate. Both carry the same 1-year parts/labor and 10-year housing warranty.
