Your search till now must have led you to the Power Vac but which model and accessories? The Power Vac is ideal as a litter and debris control device but is not recommended for fine dust and powdery dirt. For dust free cleaning we recommend you visit our Power Sweep unit.

The Elgee Power Vacuum Sweeper is a versatile machine enabling you to attack many different jobs in various environments. But because the areas to be cleaned can vary from indoors and out, the Elgee Power-Vac is powered with different engines. Depending on your needs, you can select the model that best fits your cleaning application(s) along with various options to aid in your cleaning. The Elgee Power-Vacuums are powered with Gasoline, Battery, Electric or Propane engines.

The Power-Vacuum is engineered for extra power using its exclusive booster baffle, patented tapered intake and the horizontal body design with impeller mounted directly over the area to be cleaned. It is built to last, featuring an all formed and welded steel modular design with a heavy duty 12" diameter 1/4" thick steel impeller which pulverizes debris. The Impeller Shaft Guard prevents string, wire, etc. from wrapping around and binding the shaft. The Power Vac line is proudly manufactured in the USA.

Through it's design and size it affords the operator the ability to pick up dissimilar debris and litter with little or no adjustments to slow them down. With it's optional attachments, the operator need only use the one machine to clean surrounding areas such as corners, small areas where the machine can not fit or easily convert the machine into a blower as required especially for leaves. A Snap-on dolly supports the heavy duty collector bag for ease of operation and maneuverability.

 
Gasoline Powered Model:
