Restoration contractors use it for post-flood floor prep before sealer or new finish goes down.

Is the Tornado 97590 suitable for stripping VCT or polishing concrete?
Yes. 97590 runs strip, scrub, and bonnet cycles on VCT, sealed concrete, and most hard-floor surfaces. Match pad grit to the operation: aggressive for strip-out, soft for spray-buff, natural hair for polished concrete.
How is the Tornado 97590 different from a residential or light-duty unit?
The 97590 is engineered for daily commercial duty cycles, with factory-spec consumables availability, and a parts catalog stocked through commercial distribution. Residential-grade units lack the duty cycle and filtration certification that B2B facilities require.
Are replacement parts and consumables in stock for the Tornado 97590?
Yes. Replacement bags, filters, brushes, belts, and other consumables are stocked under matching Tornado catalog numbers and ship from the same warehouse as the main unit. Keep a quarterly PAR on hand to maintain fleet uptime.

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 home’s 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!!
