Powr-Flite auto scrubbers scrub and dry hard floors in a single pass, cutting labor on tile, concrete, and sealed surfaces. Compare the cylindrical Multiwash PFMW14 and Multiwash XL PFMW18 scrubbers here, backed by Twin City Vacuum’s since-1956 service.
Powr-Flite auto scrubbers clean and dry hard floors in a single pass, replacing the mop-and-bucket routine on tile, concrete, sealed wood, rubber, and stone. This category covers Powr-Flite’s cylindrical Multiwash walk-behind scrubbers, so you can match the machine to your floor type and square footage.
The Multiwash (PFMW14) and its bigger sibling the Multiwash XL (PFMW18) are cylindrical-brush scrubbers that wash, scrub, and vacuum-dry in one pass. Because the counter-rotating cylindrical brushes lift debris as they go, they handle textured floors and grout lines that a flat disc pad rides over. The Multiwash (PFMW14) cleans a 13-inch path at about 5,500 sq ft/hr and weighs 53 lb; the Multiwash XL (PFMW18) cleans a 17-inch path at about 7,500 sq ft/hr. Both run on a 40-foot cord at 650 brush RPM and 69 dBA — quiet enough for daytime cleaning in occupied spaces.
What makes the Powr-Flite Multiwash different from a disc auto scrubber?
The Multiwash PFMW14 and PFMW18 use counter-rotating cylindrical brushes that scrub and sweep up debris while vacuum-drying in one pass, so you skip pre-sweeping. Cylindrical brushes also clean grout lines and textured floors that a flat disc pad rides over. Both run at 650 RPM on a 40-ft cord.
What’s the difference between the PFMW14 and PFMW18?
The Multiwash PFMW14 cleans a 13″ path at about 5,500 sq ft/hr and weighs 53 lb; the Multiwash XL PFMW18 cleans a 17″ path at about 7,500 sq ft/hr and weighs 61 lb. Choose the PFMW14 for tighter, cluttered spaces and the PFMW18 for larger open floors.
Can the Multiwash clean textured floors and grout?
Yes. Because the Multiwash PFMW14 and PFMW18 use counter-rotating cylindrical brushes rather than a flat disc pad, they scrub into grout lines and textured or safety flooring that a disc scrubber rides over, while vacuum-drying in the same pass.
