Why we recommend it
- Clean during the working day, not after hours — at 60 dB(A) in silent mode, the SC401 is quiet enough for offices, schools and reception areas without disturbing anyone.
- Use detergent only when you actually need it — the on-board mixing system lets you clean with water alone for daily maintenance and dose chemicals only on tough jobs, slashing chemical spend.
- Up to 4 hours of continuous cleaning on a single charge with 1,290 m²/hr productivity — clean a medium facility end-to-end without stopping.
