Match machine width and type to the space:

• Under 10,000 sq ft: Compact (14–18") walk-behind for tight spaces and restrooms
• 10,000–30,000 sq ft: Mid-size (20–26") walk-behind
• 30,000–75,000 sq ft: Large walk-behind or small rider (26–32")
• 75,000+ sq ft: Full-size rider or stand-on (32" and up)

These recommendations match current production rates—roughly 20,000–30,000 sq ft per hour for a 20" unit.

It depends on your mix of flooring and how fast you need to cover ground:

• Carpet: Upright or backpack HEPA vacuums (e.g., CarpetMaster 215, RBV 150NX)
• Hard floors: Wide-area vacuums or sweepers
• Mixed surfaces: Cordless backpack or combo vacuums

Focus on durability, suction power, HEPA filtration, and comfort. We can show options that match your facility layout and cleaning crew size.

Equipment prices vary by size and feature set, but here are solid 2024–2025 market ranges:

• Walk-behind floor scrubber: $3,500–$7,000
• Rider or stand-on scrubber: $11,000–$25,000
• Commercial HEPA vacuum: $400–$1,000
• Carpet extractor: $800–$3,000
• Burnisher or buffer: $500–$2,000

We can demo machines on-site to ensure the right size match. Many customers take advantage of leasing or our supply-based equipment programs to offset machine costs.

Buy when the machine gets regular use—daily or weekly items like vacuums or autoscrubbers pay for themselves fast through labor savings. Renting or short-term programs make more sense for one-off or seasonal jobs like carpet extraction or deep scrubbing. We often recommend a mix: own your core gear and rent specialty units only when needed.
