Powr-Flite PF57 20-Gallon Dual-Motor Stainless Steel Wet/Dry Recovery Vacuum

The Powr-Flite PF57 is the most powerful vacuum in the PF-series wet/dry line: two 1,200-watt motors (2,400 watts total) move 192 CFM through a 20-gallon 18-gauge stainless steel tank, for the fastest bulk recovery on flooded floors, large slurry cleanups, and continuous restoration work. It ships with a full accessory set — extension wands, a 14-inch floor tool, dust brush, crevice tool, and squeegee — and rolls on a wheeled dolly base.

The dual-motor design trades a little sealed suction (80 inches versus 100 on the single-motor machines) for a large jump in airflow — 192 CFM moves standing water and debris out of the way far faster, which is exactly what flood-restoration and post-construction crews need when volume matters more than deep lift. Because the two motors together draw roughly twice the current of a single-motor unit, plan for a dedicated 120-volt circuit so you do not trip breakers under continuous use. At 78 pounds it is the heaviest machine in the line, but the wheeled base carries the weight and a full 20-gallon stainless tank. The same two-stage filtration (washable cloth bag plus pleated paper cartridge) and the 5-year tank warranty carry over from the rest of the family, and the PF55-KIT paper-bag adapter also fits the PF57 for dry work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the PF57 list a lower water lift than the PF55?

The dual-motor PF57 (part# PF57) is tuned for airflow, not maximum sealed suction. Its two motors produce 192 CFM — far more air movement than the single-motor 114 CFM models — but sealed water lift is 80 inches versus 100 on the PF55. Higher airflow clears standing water and debris faster, which is what large recovery jobs need.

What makes the Powr-Flite PF57 different from the other PF-series vacuums?

The PF57 is the only dual-motor model. Two 1,200-watt motors (2,400 watts total) deliver 192 CFM through the 20-gallon stainless tank, making it the fastest for high-volume wet recovery and restoration. The PF53, PF54, and PF55 all use a single motor at 114 CFM.

Does the PF57 require special power?

Because it runs two motors, the PF57 draws roughly twice the current of a single-motor PF-series vacuum. For continuous use, run it on a dedicated 120-volt circuit to avoid tripping breakers. It is the heaviest model at 78 pounds and moves on a wheeled dolly base.
