Centaur SL-8 20L Commercial Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner | High-Performance | Made in Canada
Centaur SL-8 — The High-Performance Commercial Wet/Dry Vacuum Built for Tough Jobs
The Centaur SL-8 is the most powerful vacuum in the SL wet/dry series. Its 1340 W by-pass motor delivers 150 CFM and 90" of water lift — significantly outperforming the SL-6 — making it the go-to choice for janitorial companies, cleaning contractors, and facilities professionals who need a machine that handles wet spills, dry debris, and everything in between without slowing down.
Made in Canada. Built to last 10–20 years. Backed by a 2-Year Ironclad Warranty.
Why Pros Choose the SL-8 Over the SL-6
- Higher-performance motor: 1340 W by-pass motor vs. the SL-6's 1050 W two-stage — more suction, more lift, more CFM.
- 150 CFM airflow & 90" water lift: Handles wet spills and heavy debris that would choke lesser vacuums.
- True wet/dry versatility: Switch seamlessly between liquid pickup and dry debris collection — carpets, bare floors, spills, slush.
- All-metal construction: Steel motor housing, steel intake nozzle, steel casters, and metal latches built for decades of daily use.
- Double ball-bearing casters: Glide effortlessly on any surface — carpet, tile, concrete — without tipping or dragging.
- 1.5" steel intake: Picks up larger debris faster than standard vacuum hoses.
- Power brush receptacle included: Plug in a powered brush accessory to deep-clean carpets without a separate machine.
- 40 ft power cable + 10 ft hose: Maximum reach across large commercial spaces with minimal re-plugging.
- Compact 20 L tank: Right-sized for commercial environments — easy to maneuver, quick to empty.
- Quiet at 72 dBA: Clean offices, schools, and healthcare facilities without disrupting occupants.
