Tornado Microburst TS040-W17-U Compact Floor Scrubber – 17.5" Path, 435 RPM, 67 dB

TS040-W17-U Microburst Floor Scrubber — Single-Pass Scrub and Dry for Tight Commercial Spaces

The Tornado Microburst is a battery-powered compact auto scrubber designed to replace mop-and-bucket cleaning in spaces where a standard walk-behind scrubber won't fit. At 17.9" wide and 40 lbs, it moves through standard 36" doorways and navigates restroom stalls, retail aisles, and narrow clinic corridors without unloading accessories. Where a mop leaves hard floors wet for 15–20 minutes and pushes soil rather than removing it, the Microburst scrubs with dual counter-rotating brushes at 45 lbs of down pressure and recovers liquid through a squeegee system — leaving floors dry to the touch in a single pass. The 67 dB(A) operating noise level is low enough for occupied environments during business hours.

TS040-W17-U Brush Performance, Down Pressure, and Battery Runtime

The dual counter-rotating brush design prevents the side drift that single-brush compact scrubbers produce — the forces cancel each other, so the machine tracks straight without the operator fighting to keep it on course.

• Dual 8.5" counter-rotating brushes at 435 RPM (Power Mode) — combined down pressure of 45 lbs agitates grout lines and textured tile that a pad driver at standard pressure cannot clean effectively
• ECO mode at 365 RPM — extends battery runtime to 2 hours; reduces brush wear on smooth surfaces like polished concrete and luxury vinyl tile
• 1.3-gallon solution tank and 2.1-gallon recovery tank — recovery tank is 62% larger than the solution tank, which prevents early trips to the drain before the solution runs out
• 17.5" cleaning path — at 19,000 sq ft/hr rated productivity, covers approximately 9,500 sq ft in a 30-minute runtime cycle in ECO mode
• Quick-release squeegee and magnetic brush attachment — both detach in seconds for daily rinsing; no tools required
• 360° maneuverability — turns within its own footprint to clean corners and reverse out of tight spaces without repositioning

TS040-W17-U Applications and Environments

Commercial restrooms and lobby entrances are the primary use case — the Microburst's 17.9" width fits between toilet fixtures and into entry vestibules that exclude standard 20"+ scrubbers. Retail showrooms and restaurant dining areas use it during off-hours and between service periods, where the 67 dB noise rating avoids disturbing nearby operations. Medical and dental clinic operatory corridors, which often run 48"–60" wide with equipment stored along one wall, benefit from the machine's maneuverability without requiring staff to move furniture. Childcare and K–12 educational facilities find the quick daily maintenance routine — detach brushes, rinse, dry — fits into custodial schedules without adding machine downtime.

TS040-W17-U Pad and Brush Compatibility

The TS040-W17-U ships with two 8.5" standard brushes included. Optional mop pads are available separately for polishing or light scrubbing applications on smooth floor surfaces. The machine uses a magnetic brush attachment system — pads or brushes drop on and lock without tools. Battery (MB027, 36V/8Ah, LFP chemistry) is sold separately; the charger is included with the machine. ETL listed machine, battery, and charger.
