Namco FloorWash 5000 4588-BP Battery Floor Cleaner – 14-Inch Path, 780 RPM, 42V

Namco FloorWash 5000 4588-BP Battery Floor Cleaner – 14-Inch Path, 780 RPM, 42V

The Namco FloorWash 5000 (model 4588-BP) is a 42V battery hard floor cleaner with a 14-inch cleaning path running at 780 RPM. At 35 lbs with a 1-gallon solution tank and 0.5-gallon recovery tank, the 4588-BP is a lightweight, cordless scrubbing machine for restrooms, breakrooms, and tight commercial areas where larger auto scrubbers cannot operate.

4588-BP Brush Speed, Voltage, and Tank Configuration

• Brush speed: 780 RPM — high-speed disc scrubbing on tile, VCT, and sealed floors; faster than most compact scrubbers in this size class.
• Battery: 42V — lithium or comparable chemistry provides higher voltage than 24V AGM alternatives, supporting sustained 780 RPM brush speed under load.
• Cleaning path: 14 inch — fits restroom stall openings, between equipment, and in narrow service corridors.
• Solution tank: 1 gallon — adequate for restroom circuits and small commercial areas per fill.
• Recovery tank: 0.5 gallon — must be emptied more frequently than the solution tank refill interval; plan emptying into a floor drain during transitions between rooms.
• Weight: 35 lbs — among the lightest battery scrubbers in the 14-inch class; easy to transport between floors and carry up stairs.

FloorWash 5000 vs. FloorWash 1000 – 14-Inch Cordless Comparison

Both the 4588-BP FloorWash 5000 and the 4587-BP FloorWash 1000 use a 14-inch cleaning path at the same 780 RPM brush speed on 42V battery power. The primary differences are recovery tank capacity and overall machine size. The FloorWash 5000 (4588-BP) has a 0.5-gallon recovery tank and weighs 35 lbs. The FloorWash 1000 (4587-BP) has a 0.3-gallon recovery tank and weighs 33 lbs—2 lbs lighter with a smaller recovery capacity. Choose the FloorWash 5000 when recovery capacity is the priority; choose the FloorWash 1000 when maximum portability is needed for stairs or transport-heavy routes.

42V Battery System Performance at 780 RPM

The 42V battery system powers the 780 RPM brush motor with sufficient voltage to maintain rated brush speed under scrubbing load on dirty commercial tile. At 780 RPM, the disc pad agitates grout lines and removes daily soil buildup from VCT and ceramic tile more aggressively than 140–200 RPM auto scrubbers—appropriate for deep cleaning cycles rather than light maintenance. The 42V architecture also provides longer runtime per charge at sustained brush load compared to 24V systems of the same amp-hour rating.
