The Cleanmax CM-WAV Wide Area Vacuum is a tough, commercial vacuum that takes care of a lot of space in a little time, earning it a bronze rating from the Carpet and Rug Institute. Suitable for industrial use by cleaning professionals, this wide area vacuum is equipped with Dual-1HP motors, with a separate brushroll motor. The bottom plate is metal and the brushroll is made up of a polycarbonate core with nylon bristles. Giant jobs are no match for this 95-lb behemoth, as it comes with a 75’ cord, non-marking rubber casters and rear wheels. The ergonomic handle makes this vacuum easier to maneuver and grasp.
The brush height adjustment feature comes in very handy, with five different adjustment levels to ensure you’re getting the best clean possible. To raise the brush height level, simply lift up the height adjustment bar until the desired brush height is reached. To lower it again, push down on the height adjustment bar until you reach your desired brush height.
The CleanMax has a four-stage clean air system designed to keep the dust inside the vacuum, where it belongs. First, a high capacity, disposable paper filter bag keeps the dirt in. This filter bag is surrounded by a reusable cloth filter which adds an extra layer of filtration. Each of the two vacuum motors contains an intake filter. Finally, on the other side of the motor, a high-performance cartridge filters the motor exhaust. Like many of its counterparts, this powerful machine is not quiet - it has a decibel rating of 70. However, the fact that it cleans 10,000 more square feet per hour than the average vacuum cleaner may just make up for the extra noise!
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a manual reset circuit breaker for each motor that protects the vacuum from overheating. (Overheating can be caused by a cutoff in air flow, such as a clogged hose, operating the vacuum without a bag, etc.) The circuit breaker feature will safely shut off the vacuum, should such a situation occur. To reset the breaker, unplug the vacuum and check for the problem (clogged filters, over-full bag, etc). Correct the problem and locate the “tripped” breaker or breakers. These small buttons will be located on the handle to the right of the power switch. Push the reset button or buttons that are tripped and plug the vacuum in again. Continue using the vacuum as usual.
