Description
Small shop vacuums choke on thick floor slurry when light-gauge motors lack the suction to pull water through long hoses. The Lavex 13 Gallon Stainless Steel Commercial Wet / Dry Vacuum with Toolkit recovers wastewater and construction dust in a compact stainless footprint. It handles 13 Gallons under 1200 Watt power. Liquid payloads require manual tank lifting to empty.
The recovery canister uses deep-drawn 304 stainless steel that resists rust from concrete wash water and harsh cleaning detergents. A 1200 Watt bypass motor separates cooling air from moisture-laden vacuum air to protect electrical components from water mist. Four heavy-duty swivel casters press into a reinforced polymer base ring to resist impact damage from door frames and warehouse racks.
Compact Stainless Wet Recovery Hardware
A compact tank profile allows custodial crews to navigate crowded office hallways and tight school restrooms with low effort. The comprehensive tool package handles both wet water recovery and dry carpet detailing.
- 13 Gallon 304 stainless steel tank resists corrosion from harsh disinfectants and wet floor slurry.
- 1200 Watt bypass vacuum motor generates strong suction for rapid water extraction across hard floors.
- Reinforced polymer caster dolly provides 360-degree rotational mobility across commercial flooring.
- Washable cloth filter bag traps fine dust particles during dry building renovation cleanup jobs.
- Complete contractor toolkit includes a flexible suction hose, two chrome wands, floor squeegee, and brush.

- Heavy-duty metal tank latches clamp the motor head down firm to maintain an airtight canister seal.
Bypass Motor Performance Bench Telemetry
Pumping water through the floor squeegee tool draws 10.0 Amps from a standard 120 Volt electrical receptacle. Motor casing temperature stabilizes at 132°F after 35 minutes of continuous flood water extraction. The vacuum core delivers 80 inches of waterlift suction at 95 CFM airflow. Operating sound levels register 74 dBA at five feet.
Custodial Operations Bounds Field Directives
Hospitality cleaning teams, automotive detail shops, and commercial property cleaners clear spills fast with this mid-sized stainless vacuum. Do not attempt to vacuum hot furnace ash or burning embers that can ignite internal filter cloth. Never run liquid recovery without washing the sponge float screen afterward.
- Rinse chemical residue from the stainless tank with clean water after each floor scrubbing shift.
- Clean the cloth filter element with dry compressed air every 20 hours of dry vacuuming service.
- Inspect the power cord outer jacket for cuts or pinch damage before starting each workday.
