Designed for large carpeted areas, the CarpeTriever 28 thoroughly vacuums a 28 inch (71 cm) path in one pass. No need for back and forth movement. The CarpeTriever maneuvers easily around obstacles. Its motorized carpet brush helps propel the machine, minimizing operator fatigue, and it adjusts to any carpet pile. The chevron bristle pattern draws dirt to the vacuum intake for efficient cleaning. A 1/3 hp brush motor drives the carpet brush at 1,300 rpm for effective dirt and debris recovery. Squeeze-grips control the brush on/off. Built-in hose stretches to 56 inches.
