The Bissell Lo-Boy floor buffer has an optional sanding recovery vacuum kit that can be purchased separately. The machine itself comes with a powerful 3/4 HP induction motor that is totally enclosed. This protects the brushes in the motor from the tiny particles that are created from sanding wood floors, ensuring that the motor will not prematurely fail!

When using this machine, it is recommended that you hook up a tank vacuum w/ dry pickup to the base of the machine to recover dust particles when sanding a hardwood floor. To attach our sand screens, which are sold separately, you must purchase the pad driver, then attach a 17 inch white pad to the driver, and then the sand screen to the white pad. This white pad will help prevent the pad driver from ruining your floor since the sand screens are so thin.

The orbiting transmission runs at over 1725 orbits per minute, which guarantees no gouges or swirls left in your wood floor after you're done sanding. When used as a floor sanding machine, the Bissell Lo-Boy produces such a smooth finish that it actually eliminates steps normally associated with drum or belt sanding. This floor machine has little to no torque, so even for someone who has never oused one before, should have no problem operating it. The 19 inch apron covers the 17 inch pad driver, insuring that all the debris and particles from sanding will be recovered. Also, in typical scrubbing or buffing situations, chemical usage is reduced by up to 50% since it does not throw the chemicals out away from the machine, rather it draws the solution back under the pad where it is needed.
