Walk-Behind Floor Machine Evaluation: What to Compare Before Choosing AF2013 or AF2217

Use Verifiable Criteria Instead of Anecdotal “Success Stories”

When comparing commercial floor scrubbers, focus on the cleaning route and specifications you can verify: width, tanks, traction, runtime, brush pressure, parts and support.

AF2013

20 in walk-behind; 11/13 gal tanks; up to 34,000 ft²/h; up to 5 hours runtime; 66 lb brush pressure.

AF2217

22 in self-propelled walk-behind; 16/17 gal tanks; up to 38,000 ft²/h; up to 4 hours runtime; 88 lb brush pressure.

Route Questions

• How long are the cleaning paths?
• How many tight turns and obstacles are present?
• How often does the operator refill tanks?
• Does manual pushing create fatigue?
• What happens if the primary machine is unavailable?
