Tornado Vortex 13 Multi-Surface Scrubber

The Tornado Vortex 13 (model TS050-W13-U) drives two counter-rotating cylindrical brushes at 650 RPM from a 950W motor across a 13-inch path, cleaning 3,775 sq. ft. per hour. Brush pressure runs 190 g/cm², higher than the wider Vortex 18, concentrating force through the narrow deck for grout-heavy floors. A 1-gallon solution tank, 0.75-gallon recovery tank, 58 lb frame, and 40-inch cord make it the most compact cylindrical scrubber Tornado builds, and it runs quietly at 69 dB.

Who the Vortex 13 Is For

Very tight rooms are the reason to pick the 13 over the 18. At 17 inches wide and 58 lbs it reaches under food-prep counters, into small commercial restrooms, and between retail fixtures that stop a wider deck. The higher 190 g/cm² brush pressure trades coverage for bite, putting more force per square centimeter into confined, grout-heavy surfaces.

How the Cylindrical Brushes and Tanks Work

The two brushes counter-rotate at 650 RPM, agitating soil into the roll on contact while a 26W pump feeds solution from the 1-gallon tank. Dirty water lands in the 0.75-gallon recovery tank as the deck passes.

A 40-inch cord supplies steady power, so the brushes keep their pressure without the runtime limits of a battery.
