Where 59 dB Cordless Burnishing Matters
At 59 dB, the Battery Glazer 17 is quieter than most conversation — enabling burnishing during occupied shifts in hospitals, libraries, and government buildings where corded machines or louder burnishers require scheduling adjustments. The gel battery eliminates cord hazards in pedestrian areas and the on-board charger eliminates the need for a dedicated charging station. The 6-lb floating pad driver distributes pressure evenly across the 17-inch pad to prevent uneven gloss patterns caused by point loading from fixed pad holders. For floors that cannot tolerate burnishing noise or cord tripping hazards, the Battery Glazer 17 is the most operationally flexible option in the Tornado burnisher line.
