Floor Sweeper: It's An Unusually Exciting Dust Buster Hero

Growing up, we had wooden floors in our home until my junior year of high school when our bedrooms on the farm were carpeted. Our second floor lacked heating, so we appreciated the rugs next to our beds on frigid winter mornings. Without them, standing barefoot on the cold wood was unbearable. Our floors weren't high-end; they had a rough surface that easily collected dirt. Sweeping required a skill I lacked, much to my chagrin. Without even seeing the results, my mother could tell from downstairs if I hadn't swept thoroughly enough. She would send me back upstairs to "do better". If she ever inspected my work herself, she would sweep the same area and produce a dustpan full of evidence that my efforts needed improvement.

The Terra? 28B walk-behind sweeper from Advance is not your average cleaner, let me tell you. According to ISSA data, this bad boy beats wide-area vacuums easily. With its 28-inch sweep path, it's 2.5 times more productive on carpets than your typical wide-area vacuum. And get this – it comes with an integrated side broom, so there's no need to waste time cleaning up the edges separately. Pretty slick, right?

And don't get me started on how easy it is to manage. It's compact and maneuverable, even for us "experienced" folks. Plus, it runs super quiet at just 59 dB A, which is a big plus when you're working in a noisy warehouse.

But here's the kicker – the Terra 28B features this A.S.A.P. sweeping technology. Basically, it means you can switch between different floor types without messing with the broom settings. No fuss, no hassle. And that main broom? It's got dual rows of bristles – one soft, one tough – so it'll pick up everything from dirt to paper and plastic bottles on both carpets and hard floors.

Oh, and did I mention it comes with a long-lasting gel battery and an onboard charger? No need to worry about running out of juice mid-clean. Just plug it in wherever you can find an outlet, and you're good to go.

Overall, the Advance Terra? 28B is more than just a cleaner – it's a significant change for any warehouse or industrial space. Trust me, you won't regret adding this beast to your cleaning arsenal.

It's built by Advance, approved by Mom's everywhere.
