Powr-Flite 20-Gallon Poly T...

Product details
The PF56 takes twenty gallons of polyethylene tank and pairs it with a full tool kit, aimed at hard-floor maintenance crews who would otherwise stop every few minutes to empty a smaller machine.
Powr-Flite rates it at 1.6 horsepower, 1200 watts, 114 CFM and 100 inches of water lift, drawing 10 amps at 120 volts. Filtration is two-stage with a washable, reusable cloth filter, the hose is 1.5 inch by 10 feet, and the kit covers a two-piece wand, a 14 inch carpet and squeegee tool, and crevice and dusting tools. It runs 8 inch rear wheels, a 30 foot 16/3 cord and a rear drain hose for emptying wastewater without tipping the tank.
Floor-stripping recovery is where the extra capacity earns its keep. A two-person crew working a strip-and-refinish job generates recovered liquid fast, and twenty gallons buys real working time before anyone breaks away to dump. Choosing poly over stainless at this size is mostly a weight decision, since a lighter shell is noticeably easier to wheel between rooms or up a ramp carrying the same load. Poly also takes knocks against door frames and loading docks without denting the way a thin metal shell can, which matters on a machine that spends its life being pushed through tight spaces.
