| New Edge 28B sweeper from Kent cleans both hard and soft floors with unique broom system | Minneapolis,MN - The versatile new Edge 28B walk-behind sweeper from Kent cleans both carpet and hard floors, eliminating the need for separate machines. The self-propelled sweeper transitions easily between hard and soft surfaces without hesitation or adjustments. Its specially engineered broom system features a 28-inch cleaning path capable of handling fine particles and bulky debris alike, eliminating the need for cleaners to pick up large debris before sweeping. Edge 28B operates at a quiet 59 dB A – half the sound level of a conventional vacuum – making daytime cleaning in any environment possible. “Edge 28B will be a huge time-saver for cleaning professionals,” says Sara Thurston, brand manager for Kent. “A machine that can sweep both hard and soft floors without any adjustments makes for fast and simple cleaning, not to mention the savings in cost of labor, training and additional machines.” Not only does the special broom system eliminate time-consuming chores such as litter-picking before sweeping, but the side broom cleans along floor edges to prevent operators from having to back-track and vacuum where debris cannot be reached. According to a study by ISSA, 28-inch sweepers are 2.5 times more productive than a 28-inch wide-area vacuum. Easy access to both the filter and the hopper makes maintenance of the Edge 28B simple. An onboard filter shaker is also included to quickly comb and clean the filter between uses. Other features include a standard onboard battery charger, a maintenance-free gel battery and a handle that comfortably adjusts to any operator. This multi-purpose machine is ideal for any facility, including hotels, hospitals and assisted living facilities. |
