AF2013: Compact Walk-Behind

Choose AF2013 when maneuverability in tighter routes matters most. Its 20 in working width and 66 lb brush pressure make it a practical option for retail, schools, offices, clinics and smaller warehouse routes.

AF2217: Self-Propelled Walk-Behind

AF2217 adds a dedicated traction motor, larger tanks and 88 lb brush pressure. It is a stronger fit when longer routes make repeated pushing tiring.

AF2225: Micro Ride-On

AF2225 is designed for longer large-area routes where operator walking itself becomes inefficient. Its maximum gradient specification is 18%, not 18 degrees.

Brush or Pad Selection

Do not choose a cleaning tool only from the phrase “heavy duty.” Match the brush or pad, chemical and pressure to the actual floor finish and soil. Sensitive finishes should be tested first and maintained according to the flooring manufacturer’s guidance.

Battery, Warranty and Support

AF2013, AF2217 and AF2225 use 24 V 100 Ah lithium batteries specified for 5,000+ charge cycles. The cycle specification is not a guaranteed calendar lifespan. Actual calendar life depends on charging, depth of discharge, temperature, storage, workload, and battery condition. Review the current written product and warranty terms for coverage, exclusions, claim procedures, regional terms, and duration before purchase. Human technical support provides an initial response within one business day.

Bottom Line

Choose AF2013 for compact routes, AF2217 for self-propelled walk-behind productivity, and AF2225 when ride-on operation is justified by route length and operator workload.
