Hawk F60-17-01 17-Inch Severe Duty Buffer for Concrete and VCT
The Hawk F60-17-01 runs a 1.0 HP motor at 165 RPM on a 17-inch pad to strip, scrub, and buff concrete, terrazzo, VCT, and hardwood floors. At 90 lbs and 64 dB, it's quiet enough for occupied facilities while delivering the torque needed for heavy-duty stripping work. The 50 ft power cord keeps you moving without frequent repositioning.
F60-17-01 Motor, Pad Pressure, and Drive System
Motor: 1.0 HP β drives 165 RPM through a direct drive that eliminates belt wear and maintenance intervals.
Pad pressure: 90 lbs of machine weight β full downward force applied through the 17-inch pad for stripping and scrubbing on hard floors.
Noise: 64 dB β conversation-level sound output lets crews run during occupied hours without complaints.
Cord: 50 ft β covers most commercial room layouts without an extension cord.
Weight: 90 lbs β heavy enough for aggressive stripping work, light enough for a single operator.
Where the F60-17-01 Gets Used
The 17-inch deck fits through standard doorways and into restroom areas that a 20-inch machine cannot reach. Maintenance crews use it in schools, medical offices, and retail hallways for routine scrubbing and spray buffing. The 165 RPM pad speed is the right range for stripping with a black pad, scrubbing with a red or green pad, and applying finish with a white padβall without changing machines. The single-speed motor eliminates the need to decide between stripping speed and buffing speed.
RPM, Pad Compatibility, and Floor Types
At 165 RPM, the F60-17-01 accepts standard 17-inch rotary floor pads across the full aggression range: black stripping pads, red buffing pads, green scrubbing pads, and white polishing pads. Compatible floor types include VCT, sheet vinyl, linoleum, terrazzo, concrete, and finished hardwood. UL listing confirms the machine meets electrical safety standards for commercial facilities. Hawk offers pad holders for driver configurations if retrofit is required.

Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our homeβs central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
