Powr-Flite PF55 20-Gallon Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Recovery Vacuum
$660.00
20-gallon stainless steel commercial wet/dry recovery vacuum, single 1,200W motor, 114 CFM and 100-inch water lift for larger recovery jobs.
The Powr-Flite PF55 steps the PF-series up to a 20-gallon 18-gauge stainless steel tank while keeping a single 1,200-watt motor — a third more recovery capacity than the 15-gallon PF53 and PF54 for crews that were emptying the tank too often on big jobs. It moves 114 CFM with a 100-inch sealed water lift and rides on a wheeled dolly base so a full 20-gallon load rolls instead of being carried.
The extra five gallons is the whole reason to choose the PF55: fewer trips to the drain on large water intrusions, restaurant kitchen recovery, warehouse spills, and facility flood cleanup. Because it uses the same single 1,200-watt motor as the smaller machines, it runs on a standard 120-volt circuit without tripping breakers — unlike the dual-motor PF57, which draws roughly twice the current. The 18-gauge stainless tank resists rust and impact and carries a 5-year warranty. Two-stage filtration (washable cloth bag plus pleated paper cartridge) covers both dry dust and wet recovery, and a 20-gallon paper-bag adapter kit (PF55-KIT) is available when you want bagged dry pickup. As with every PF-series vacuum, sudden suction loss points to a full tank or a loaded filter before the motor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much more does the PF55 hold than the PF53 or PF54?
The PF55 (part# PF55) has a 20-gallon tank versus 15 gallons on the PF53 and PF54 — about a third more capacity, so you empty it less often on large jobs. Airflow (114 CFM) and water lift (100 inches) match the smaller single-motor models; the difference is tank size.
Does the Powr-Flite PF55 need a special electrical outlet?
No. The PF55 uses a single 1,200-watt motor and runs on a standard 120-volt circuit. If you need dramatically higher airflow you would step up to the dual-motor PF57, which draws about twice the current and may need a dedicated circuit.
Can I use paper bags in the PF55 for dry pickup?
Yes. A 20-gallon paper-bag adapter kit (PF55-KIT) fits the stainless PF55 and PF57 for cleaner dry-debris disposal. For wet recovery, remove the bag and cartridge and vacuum directly into the 20-gallon stainless tank.
