The Tornado Torrent 28 (model TW050-W28-U) is a 24V battery walk-behind sweeper that clears up to 30,139 sq. ft. per hour and runs for 4 hours on a single charge. Its Tandem Roller System drives two counter-rotating brushes, and a foldout side broom widens the path to 28 inches for edge work along baseboards and shelving. At 54 dB(A) it stays quiet enough to run while a store, school, or office is occupied.

Who the Torrent 28 Is For
The Torrent 28 fits floors that are too large for a push broom but do not justify a ride-on sweeper. Warehouses and light manufacturing plants sweep production aisles between shifts without pulling staff off the line. Big-box retailers and supermarkets run it after hours, where 54 dB(A) sits under the background music. Schools clear corridors before students arrive and rely on the LED headlight to spot debris in dim pre-dawn hallways. For wet or sticky messes in hospital service corridors and parking decks, the suction-off switch keeps that material out of the filter.
How the Side Broom, Hopper, and Battery Work
The two rotary side brooms swing out to reach the full 28" path, then pull back on their own when you reverse or press the retract control, so they never catch on a pallet leg or door frame mid-turn. Paired with the 16" main brush, they pick up everything from fine dust and sand to gravel, staples, and loose paper.
Emptying the 10-gallon hopper takes under a minute. Release the front latch, tilt the hopper forward, and dump it straight into a waste bin — no tools and no liner to wrestle with.
The sealed 12V / 75Ah AGM pack needs no watering and will not spill, and it handles partial charging better than flooded lead-acid, which helps on routes that cannot spare a full 6-hour charge window every night. The charger is built in, so you plug into a standard outlet without removing the batteries.

What is the hopper capacity of the Tornado Torrent 28?
The Torrent 28 has a 10-gallon hopper. The hopper releases via a front latch, tilts forward, and dumps into a waste container without tools in under 60 seconds, allowing quick turnarounds during sweeping runs in warehouses and distribution centers.
How long does the Tornado Torrent 28 battery last, and how long does it take to recharge?
The 12V / 75Ah (C20) AGM battery pack in a 24V configuration delivers up to 4 hours of continuous runtime. Recharging via the onboard charger takes 6 hours on a standard outlet. The AGM chemistry tolerates partial-state-of-charge operation without damaging the battery.
What types of debris can the Torrent 28 Tandem Roller System collect?
The TRS dual counter-rotating cylindrical brush system collects debris from fine particulate dust and sand through coarse material including gravel, staples, and paper. The suction off switch disables the vacuum system for wet or sticky debris that would clog the flat-pleat filter if vacuumed.
How does the foldout side broom work on the Torrent 28?
The two rotary side brushes fold out to extend the sweeping path from 23.6" to 28". They retract automatically when the machine reverses or via operator control, preventing contact with obstacles during turns and maneuvering. When deployed, they clean along baseboards, shelving bases, and columns without a separate manual sweeping pass.
How quiet is the Tornado Torrent 28 during operation?
The Torrent 28 operates at 54 dB(A), which is comparable to a quiet office conversation. This qualifies it for use during business hours in schools, hospitals, retail stores, and other occupied environments where louder equipment would be disruptive.
What is the productivity rate of the Tornado Torrent 28?
The Torrent 28 covers 30,139 sq. ft. per hour with the side broom extended to a 28" path. This is approximately 0.7 acres per hour, making it suitable for large commercial floor areas such as warehouses, distribution centers, and big-box retail stores.

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!!
