Minuteman Tsunami Wet Recovery Vacuum w/ Front Mount Squeegee (Toolkit Optional) - 16 Gallons - MIN-T16W
The Minuteman Tsunami wet vac can be bought in 2 different configurations. One is a version with just the 24" front mount squeegee attached for purely wet recovery. The 2nd version is with the front mount squeegee and a toolkit for wet and dry recovery. It boasts a 16 gallon recovery solution capacity, which can trim labor costs up to 40%. Whether you're stripping floors, or simply recovering dirt and debris, this vac can take care of it!
The lightweight Tsunami provides powerful suction, leaving floors virtually dry after the mounted squeegee passes over it. We recommend cleaning the squeegee blade edges after after each and every cleaning. The vacuum motor is positioned above the recovery solution, shielding it from foam and other potential things that could damage it and lessen its longevity. The body opens like a clamshell for easy cleaning, and cost-effective serviceability.
