The Minuteman ROS 17 is a random orbital floor machine that pairs slow rotary scrubbing with fast orbital oscillation. Its 17" driver turns at 80 rpm while oscillating at 1,725 micro orbits per minute, powered by a 1.5 HP, 115 V motor.
The combined motion suits deep cleaning, finish removal and restoration, from tile and terrazzo to carpet, and an optional 3.9 gal handle-mounted spray tank lays down solution ahead of the pad. At 93 lbs on 10" wheels, the ROS 17 moves easily between rooms and job sites.
Features
Rotary Plus Orbital Motion
Rotation at 80 rpm combines with 1,725 micro orbits per minute on a 3/8" orbit, a pairing Minuteman credits with higher cleaning performance and productivity.
Built-In Spray System
A 90 psi oscillating pump needs no priming and feeds a single anti-drip, adjustable tip; the 3.9 gal solution tank is optional.
Free-Floating Base
The base floats for full contact with the floor, and it flips up for quick pad changes on the Velcro driver plate.
Add Weight When Needed
Optional 37 lbs weight sets, up to two, raise pad pressure for stripping and restoration.
Easy to Move
Large 10" wheels and a lift handle make it simple to roll to the next room or lift into a vehicle.
Low Noise
Minuteman rates it at 62 dB.
Low-Profile Motor
A motor height clearance of 12.5" helps the head work under counters and fixtures.
