How to choose a vacuum cleaner for a car wash?

Start by analysing the traffic at the site, the space available and what your customers expect. Basic and Basic Plus models work well at smaller locations, while the Premium variant is the more common choice for higher throughput and wider control over how the unit operates.

When deciding, consider not only power and container capacity but also payment options, booms, the compressor option and integration with management systems. This way the unit will match the way your car wash actually works.
