WHY FACILITY MANAGERS CHOOSE THE RT15AC
-
Zero Downtime Between Shifts
Plug in and clean — no waiting for batteries to charge, no scheduling around an 8-hour charge cycle, no spare battery inventory to manage. For facilities cleaning during business hours or back-to-back shifts, corded operation eliminates the most common cause of skipped cleaning routes.
-
Lower Total Cost of Ownership Than Battery Models
No battery replacement every 2–3 years ($300–$600 each). No battery degradation in cold storage areas. No charger maintenance. Over a 5-year service life, the RT15AC typically costs 30–40% less than a comparable battery scrubber.
-
Built for Tight Commercial Spaces
At 27.6" long and 18.2" wide, the RT15AC navigates aisles as narrow as 24 inches, fits through standard 32" doorways, and turns in place around fixtures, displays, and equipment that larger ride-on or 20"+ walk-behind scrubbers can't reach.
-
One-Operator Setup — No Training Required
Fill, plug in, squeeze the handle, walk. New cleaning staff are productive within 10 minutes. No certification, no battery handling protocols, no maintenance schedule beyond rinsing the tanks.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE ORDERING YOUR RT15AC
Straight answers on fit, pricing, shipping, warranty, and parts — so facility managers, procurement teams, and operations leads can move forward with confidence.
How do I know if the RT15AC is the right floor scrubber for my facility?
The RT15AC is built for commercial spaces between roughly 2,000 and 15,000 sq ft with reliable 110V outlet access — retail floors, medical offices, fitness centers, schools, restaurants, and back-of-house areas. The 14-inch cleaning path fits aisles as narrow as 24 inches and turns easily around fixtures and equipment.
It is generally not the right fit for open warehouses over 20,000 sq ft, outdoor surfaces, or facilities without consistent outlet access. For those, our battery-powered RT15, RT15+, or the larger RT35AC are usually a better match.
If you'd like a second opinion before ordering, email sales@sunmaxus.com with your square footage, floor type, and outlet layout — our team will confirm fit within 1 business day.
How does the RT15AC compare to Tennant, Karcher, or Viper compact scrubbers?
The RT15AC is positioned as a factory-direct alternative to entry-level corded compact scrubbers from major brands, typically at 40–60% lower upfront cost. Core specs — 14-inch cleaning path, 18-inch squeegee, 14,500 sq ft/hr theoretical productivity, and tank capacity — are comparable to entry-level models in those lineups.
The main differences are direct-to-buyer pricing (no dealer markup), shipping from our California warehouse, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty backed by U.S.-based support. We're happy to walk you through a side-by-side spec comparison if you're evaluating multiple brands.
What payment methods do you accept?
At checkout we accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and Amazon Pay. Available options may vary by device.
For business, school, hospital, and government buyers, we also accept purchase orders, ACH transfers, and wire payments outside of standard checkout. See the next question for details.
Do you accept purchase orders, Net-30 terms, and tax-exempt orders?
Yes. SUNMAX works directly with businesses, schools, hospitals, municipalities, and non-profits across the U.S.
- Purchase orders (PO): Email your PO to sales@sunmaxus.com — most accounts are set up within 1 business day.
- Net-30 terms: Available for qualified businesses and institutions after a brief credit review.
- Tax-exempt orders: Send your resale or exemption certificate before checkout and we'll process the order tax-free.
- W-9 and vendor documents: Provided on request for your procurement file.
- Volume pricing: Available on orders of 2 or more units — request a quote for current pricing.
Is shipping included, and where does the RT15AC ship from?
Yes. The RT15AC ships free by LTL freight to all 48 contiguous U.S. states from our California warehouse. Additional charges may apply for Alaska, Hawaii, remote ZIP codes, limited-access locations (such as construction sites or military bases without a loading dock), redelivery attempts, storage fees, or address changes after dispatch.
Please use a valid street address and a phone number that's actively monitored at checkout — the freight carrier will use it to coordinate delivery.
How soon will my RT15AC ship and arrive?
In-stock orders are processed and handed to the freight carrier within 2 business days. Estimated transit time is 3–8 business days after pickup, depending on your destination.
Delivery timing may vary with inventory status, carrier pickup schedules, weather, and regional freight conditions. If you need a guaranteed delivery date for a project deadline, contact us before ordering and we'll confirm what's possible.
What happens when the freight carrier contacts me?
The carrier will call to schedule a delivery appointment. Please respond promptly so the shipment isn't delayed in their terminal (storage fees can apply after 48 hours of unsuccessful contact).
Standard freight delivery is curbside — the driver is not required to move the RT15AC indoors or onto a loading dock. Have a hand truck or pallet jack ready, and make sure someone is available during business hours to receive and inspect the shipment. If you need liftgate service or inside delivery, let us know before shipment and we'll quote the upgrade.
What should I check before signing for delivery?
Before signing the delivery receipt, walk around the pallet and inspect for any visible damage — torn shrink wrap, crushed corners, holes in the box, or anything that looks out of place.
If you see damage: note it on the delivery receipt before signing, take clear photos of the packaging and the machine, keep all packaging materials, and contact SUNMAX support within 24 hours at sales@sunmaxus.com with your order number. This protects your freight claim and lets us resolve the issue quickly.
How does the 2-year warranty actually work?
The RT15AC comes with a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty starting from the date of delivery.
Covered (free replacement parts shipped from our U.S. warehouse): brush motor, vacuum motor, switches, wiring harness, solution and recovery tanks, squeegee assembly, handle, frame, and other non-wear components under normal commercial use.
Not covered (available for separate purchase): consumable wear items such as brushes, pads, squeegee blades, and filters; damage from misuse, neglect, modification, accidents, or operation outside specifications.
How to file a claim: Email sales@sunmaxus.com or call (800) 788-0856 with your order number, photos or a short video, and a description of the issue. Our team diagnoses most issues within 1 business day, and replacement parts ship free from California within 2 business days. Most fixes are operator-replaceable with a short video walkthrough from our team — no shipping the machine back required.
How fast can I get replacement parts and accessories?
Most RT15 series parts ship from our California warehouse within 2 business days. Common wear items — 14-inch brushes, burnishing pads, squeegee blades, and pad drivers — are stocked year-round.
For less common parts, our team will confirm availability and lead time within 1 business day. You can browse compatible accessories on the RT15AC product page, or email sales@sunmaxus.com with your machine model and order number for a faster match.
Do you provide training and documentation for new operators?
Yes. Every RT15AC ships with a printed User Manual covering setup, daily operation, and tank maintenance. We also provide video tutorials covering pad changes, squeegee adjustment, troubleshooting, and routine cleaning of the machine itself.
Operator training typically takes under 15 minutes — the RT15AC is designed so that new cleaning staff are productive on the first day without certification or specialized training. If your team needs a live walkthrough, we're happy to set up a video call.
