New Nobles SpeedGleam 5 20" Walk-Behind Battery Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The SpeedGleam 5 is a good fit for schools, clinics, retail stores and office buildings that want a high-gloss finish without propane fumes or a cord trailing behind the operator. The 20 in pad runs at 2,100 rpm, and Nobles says the result is propane-like gloss from a battery machine. This is the pad assist version, so the pad's rotation helps pull the machine forward, and down pressure is the mechanical Set and Forget system: a supervisor sets it once and every operator burnishes at the same pressure. Passive dust control with a paper bag comes standard, and Nobles rates it quiet at as low as 64 dBA, so it can work while the building is occupied. The head flips up to 90 degrees for pad changes from a standing position. At 24.5 in wide with a 60 in minimum aisle turn, it moves easily through halls and elevators. Nobles rates this version at up to 16,260 sq ft per hour; the self-propelled SpeedGleam 5 goes up to 20,000.”
A quiet 20 in battery burnisher for occupied buildings
The Nobles SpeedGleam 5 is a battery-powered walk-behind burnisher for schools, healthcare facilities, retail stores and office buildings. A 20 in pad running at 2,100 rpm brings floors to a high-gloss finish, and passive dust control captures burnishing dust in a paper bag as you go.
This is the Nobles SpeedGleam 5 base build with pad assist drive: three 12 V, 185 Ah wet batteries (36 V), an on-board 25 A charger with a 15 ft power cord, mechanical Set and Forget down pressure and passive dust control. Nobles ships it with one burnishing pad, one paper dust bag and the operator manual.

Questions
Nobles SpeedGleam 5: common questions
Is it safe to run in occupied buildings?
It is a battery burnisher, so there are no propane fumes, and Nobles rates it as low as 64 dBA. Passive dust control is standard, and active HEPA dust control is available.
How long does it run on a charge?
Nobles lists up to 3 hours. Runtime varies with battery size, down pressure and the pad used.
What does pad assist mean?
There is no drive motor. The rotation of the pad helps move the machine forward, and the operator guides it. If you burnish large areas every night, the self-propelled version is easier on the operator.
How are pads changed?
The head flips up to 90 degrees, so the operator can change the pad from a comfortable standing position.
Will it fit in elevators and tight halls?
The SpeedGleam 5 is 59 in long, 24.5 in wide and 43 in high, with a 60 in minimum aisle turn. Measure your elevators and tightest doorways before you order.
