New Tennant 1610 22" Walk-Behind Carpet Extractor with Dual Technology
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The 1610 is the walk-behind we suggest when a building wants one carpet machine for both everyday maintenance and periodic deep cleaning: hotels, libraries, schools, healthcare and office space. ReadySpace is the interim mode, and Tennant says it cleans and dries carpet in less than 30 minutes, so lobbies and corridors can go back into use quickly. Tennant puts the typical ReadySpace rate at 6,000 to 10,000 sq ft per hour. When traffic lanes need more, switch to restorative extraction, with two 3-stage vacuum motors and 120 in of water lift pulling the dirty solution back out. Counter-rotating 22 in rollers or brushes give the carpet double agitation in one pass. The 21 gal solution and recovery tanks are big for a walk-behind, the debris tray keeps hoses and drains from clogging, and the Hygenic tanks open fully for cleaning. It runs on four 6 V wet batteries with an off-board charger, and Tennant rates run time at up to 2.5 hours. For very large carpeted areas, the R14 is the ride-on version.”
