Trusted Clean 17" Dual Speed Floor Buffer w/ Pad Driver (180 & 320 RPM) - TPL-BK-17VS-TC

Trusted Clean 17" Dual Speed Floor Buffer w/ Pad Driver (180 & 320 RPM) - TPL-BK-17VS-TC

Get more bang for your buck! This Trusted Clean 17" dual speed buffer does the work of two machines. Not only does it save you money, but it also saves you from having to transport two machines to each job. Use the lower speed, 180 RPM, to scrub and strip, then just flip the switch to the higher speed, 320 RPM, to polish floors to a glossy luster. The higher speed will not provide as high a shine as our high speed electric burnishers, but it will still do a great job.

For something with a slightly larger scrub deck, please take a look at the Trusted Clean 20" dual speed floor buffer. You can find both of these machines, plus many more, in our dual speed floor buffers category. All of our dual speed buffers offer a full range of maintenance options. They can all strip, scrub, spray buff, bonnet scrub carpets, and more!

• Lockout lever eliminates accidental startups.
• Cool running 1.5 HP high efficiency motor.
