by Shane Henson — October 21, 2011—Tennant Company, a global provider of designing, manufacturing, and marketing solutions that create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, recently introduced its new family of upright vacuums. The commercial-grade vacuum line, which offers various size and power options, may be of particular interest to facilities managers and janitorial professionals requiring vacuums that are able to effectively remove material from a variety of floor types.

Building on the highly successful Single Motor Upright (V-SMU-14) launched in 2010, Tennant has added three new options to its upright vacuum line of products: a Lightweight Upright (V-LWU-13), a Dual Motor Upright (V-DMU-14), and a Wide Area Vacuum (V-WA-30).

According to the company, each vacuum is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily cleaning use by using components that have been proven in commercial application for more than five years. The durability of these upright vacuums lowers total cost of ownership by minimizing the time and money associated with replacing common vacuum parts.

Tennant Company’s Wide Area Vacuum (V-WA-30) can clean large carpeted areas with nearly four times the productivity of traditional upright vacuums.

Additionally, vacuums in this new product line:

  • Enhance productivity and efficiency with designs geared for operator comfort and to provide greater maneuverability and ease of use;
  • Improve the cleanliness and maximize the life of carpets with effective removal of soil and dust containment as certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute;
  • Enhance the environmental air quality of a facility by using a HEPA filtration system that comes standard on every machine to effectively trap fine air particles that can lead to allergy and asthma;
  • Lower total cost of ownership by using more durable and longer-lasting components than typical commercial vacuums to minimize time and money spent replacing common parts; and
  • Provide any-time-of-the-day cleaning without disruption in noise-sensitive areas, with sound levels that are less than 70 dBA.

“Tennant offers customers affordable solutions without sacrificing performance or features that make it easy for them to operate,” said Rusty Zay, vice president of global marketing for Tennant Company. “Our newest family of upright vacuums delivers essential commercial cleaning products to meet the toughest carpet care challenges.”
