Glossary

Performance

The performance of a cleaning machine is the area that the unit can process in an hour.

Usually, the specs indicate the maximum performance achieved under perfect conditions. It may turn out to be somewhat lower due to the specs of the room, the presence of old dirt and other factors. However, the theoretical difference is usually quite consistent with the actual one. For example, models for 1000 m2/h and 2000 m2/h will differ in performance approximately by two times. So, according to this parameter, it is quite possible to evaluate different models and compare them with each other.

Note that high performance requires a powerful motor and capacious tanks, which affects the dimensions, weight and cost of the unit. Therefore, excessive performance is just as undesirable as insufficient. In addition, more powerful machines usually have a larger working width and are not well suited for rooms with an abundance of narrow passages and nooks and crannies.

As for the actual values, models less than 1000 m2/h belong to the entry-level. It is the specs that most household machines have (see "Type"). A value from 1000 to 2000 m2/h is relatively low for professional sweepers and the average for scrubber dryers. 2000 – 3000 m2/h is considered a fairly solid performance, and models of more than 3000 m2/h is extremely ra...re. These are mostly high-end sweepers (it is extremely difficult to achieve such characteristics in scrubbers).

Working width (with 2 brushes)

Sweeping width with two brushes — full cleaning path when the side brushes operate on both sides of the body. Typical values are approximately 65–105 cm, allowing the machine to cover open areas faster and sweep debris equally well along the left and right edges. Compared with one brush, the coverage is wider, but in narrow passages the working elements may hinder maneuverability. If the brushes are removable, the compactness of the body remains unchanged.

Weight

The total weight of the cleaning machine. Usually, weight is indicated with empty tanks for detergent, waste, fuel, etc. At the same time, additional equipment, such as side brushes, may or may not be taken into account. Such equipment has a very small weight compared to the machines themselves. And, when installed/removed, does not seriously affect the mass of the entire machine.
