Side-by-side comparison tests using a gloss meter on a burnished floor show that the VS20 and 20UHSB produce a brighter shine than competitive battery burnishers.
One reason the VS20 and 20UHSB are so effective is the carefully balanced ratio of weight to pad speed, which produces a spectacular shine on a properly prepared floors. A fully floating pad holder follows uneven floor surfaces, for an even shine. Results are an even, beautiful shine that resists scuffing and wear.
Both models feature a special dust-control system that collects dust in dual collector bags. No need for dust mopping the floor after each burnishing, it's left clean and shiney.
The VS20 model features variable-speed drive to the wheels, for easy transport and working maneuverability. Self-propelling drive on the VS20 glides over the floor with minimal operator effort. Both models have simple controls for easy operation.
