Wet and Dry Commercial Vacuum Cleaner
The Centaur SL-8 Wet and Dry Commercial Vacuum Cleaner is a heavy-duty, Canadian-made canister vacuum designed for professional cleaning in the most demanding environments. With a 20-liter (5-gallon) tank capacity, this powerful unit efficiently handles dirt, dust, and liquid spills across commercial carpets, hard floors, bare floors, and wet surfaces.
Built for janitorial teams, government facilities, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and industrial sites, the Centaur SL-8 combines rugged durability with superior suction performance.
