The model of the Clarke scrubber-dryer ensures a highly effective floor cleaning performance. The Vantage 17 Battery model

uses a single rotary brush to clean an area of 17.0 in (430 mm) in width. The rear squeegee performs the floor cleaning and

the vacuum system recovers the washing water in a single pass.
