Compact, portable, and powerful—the Nilfisk GM80 Industrial Vacuum helps rid your environment of hazardous dust and debris while protecting the quality and health of your indoor air. Designed for industrial use, lead abatement, and contamination control, both the Nilfisk GM 80 and GM80i vacuums feature a large 3.25-gallon total tank capacity and accommodate Nilfisk's 2.25-gallon dry collection dust bags. Multi-stage HEPA filtration, a compact design, and a heavy-duty trolley make both vacuums ideal for fast, effective, and extremely mobile vacuuming in industrial environments.
When you're vacuuming a sensitive environment, the last thing you want is to risk releasing harmful airborne particles and pollutants back into your environment through the system's exhaust. That's why the Nilfisk GM80 Vacuum is equipped with a robust, four-stage filtration system to ensure that your vacuum's exhaust—and your environment—remain clean. This four-stage system includes:
Both the GM80 and GM80i vacuums can be upgraded to use an ULPA, or Ultra Low Penetration Air, filter. The tightly woven ULPA filter (sold separately) can filter 99.999% of particles as small as 0.12 microns in size and lasts approximately 1,000 hours, depending on use. This filter is especially beneficial for maintaining a clean, contaminant-free environment in cleanrooms and other sensitive spaces.
The Nilfisk GM80i differs from the standard Nilfisk GM80 platform because of its heavier-duty accessories and attachments. Mounted on a fixed trolley for extreme portability (the standard GM80 has a detachable trolley), the GM80i goes where you need it to during any given cleaning task. The GM80i platform also swaps out the GM80's 6.5-foot plastic hose for a 6.5-foot neoprene hose that adds durability. Additionally, with its standard curved steel suction tool, the Nilfisk GM80i provides more cleaning reach and suction power in smaller spaces, such as corners and crevices. Please note that the included vacuum attachments vary for each model package:
Both the Nilfisk Advance GM80 and GM80i Industrial Vacuums include a number of features to ensure reliable and effective vacuuming for years to come.
If you are a contractor, the Nilfisk GM80 and GM80i Vacuums can help you comply with the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule. In addition to using a HEPA filter, these vacuums can accommodate a turbo floor nozzle with beater bar to improve lead dust removal on carpeting. The Nilfisk Turbo Floor Nozzle – Part # 56649625 (sold separately) works to dislodge heavy lead particulates that may have accumulated in carpet fibers overtime. Using a HEPA vacuum like the GM 80 equipped with a floor nozzle that features a beater bar when cleaning carpeting is required to remain EPA RRP-compliant.

Comments about Nilfisk Advance Nilfisk GM-80 Vacuum (Industrial):
We have purchased multiple GM80 vacuums for our manufacturing facility and they operate remarkably. Sometimes we run them 16 hours a day for a month straight and they keep on sucking. The noise level produced is very minimal, sometimes you have to touch the vacuum to feel if it is on or off, it is SO quiet.
