Vortex 13 in Very Tight Spaces
At 17 inches wide and 58 lbs, the Vortex 13 is the most compact multi-surface cylindrical scrubber in the Tornado lineup — lighter and narrower than the Vortex 18. It reaches under food prep counters, into narrow commercial restrooms, and between retail fixtures where the 22-inch-wide Vortex 18 cannot fit. The 190 g/cm² brush pressure is higher than the Vortex 18's 170 g/cm², concentrating more force per unit area through the narrower brush path for aggressive cleaning in confined grout-heavy surfaces. At 69 dB it is 2 dB quieter than the Vortex 18.
