CleanFreak 17" Heavy Duty Floor Buffer w/ Pad Driver - CPL-225FP-17-RH-CF

This CleanFreak low speed rotary floor machine was built to last! It is a 175 RPM, 17" multi-purpose floor buffer backed by a 5-year warranty on the motor, frame, and shroud. The triple planetary transmission is more than powerful enough to do  low-speed buffing, scrubbing, and stripping of any hard floor surface. There are other rotary scrubbing buffers that can accomplish these same tasks, but this CleanFreak machine gives you unbeatable value too. Its shiny and durable finish will keep it looking great for years to come!

At 91 pounds with a 1.5 HP motor, you'll have plenty of power and down pressure to easily clean, polish, and strip any surface. The all-steel triple planetary transmission gives you a sense of security that this heavy-duty transmission will last and last. If you want to use this 17" floor buffer to scrub carpets, you can do that as well. It has dual capacitors to help it at start-up, making it a breeze to start on heavy friction surfaces.

Are you looking for something a little bit larger to cover more square footage? We have this same machine available with a 20" head, if this model is a little too small for your needs.
