17-Inch Path — Where It Outperforms the 20"
The 97562B's 17-inch path navigates standard commercial restrooms, office suites, and narrow corridors where a 20-inch machine requires repositioning at each turn. The narrower footprint fits within standard door frames and turns around restroom fixtures without the operator backing up repeatedly. For operations that clean many small-to-medium rooms per shift, the 97562B reduces the time spent repositioning compared to the 20-inch 97564B, despite slightly lower coverage per pass. Both use the same 1.5 HP motor, triple planetary gears, 75-foot cord, and 67 dB rating.
