Info & Guides

When you clean wide carpeted floors, forward operation helps you keep a steady pass. The Tornado Marathon line uses a rotomolded, two-piece body for durability during daily transport. A sealed transaxle drive helps you steer between rooms and through elevators.

Key Features and Benefits of the Tornado Marathon Self-Contained Carpet Extractor

  • Vacuum Motor: The three-stage motor provides up to 136 inches of waterlift, supporting strong recovery.
  • Variable Solution Pump: Solution flow adjusts up to 100 psi, so you can match the application to heavily soiled or maintenance carpet.
  • Roto-Molded Body: The two-piece rotomolded main body supports durable daily transport through commercial cleaning routes.
  • Sealed Transaxle Drive: A sealed transaxle drive and two 10-inch rear wheels help you steer, while two front swivel casters aid turning.
  • Motor Power: The 2.0-horsepower motor draws 15 amps at 120 volts, giving you electric power for commercial carpet work.
  • Long Cord: The 50-foot (98168) or 75-foot (98190) cord gives you more room between outlet changes.
  • Cleaning Path: The 19-inch cleaning path (17 inches on the 12-gallon model) helps you cover broad carpeted areas.

Choose Your Capacity

You can choose between the 12-gallon and 20-gallon capacity options, with differences in cleaning path, brush speed, waterlift, cord length, and movement.

  • Marathon 1200: Your 12-gallon solution tank and 14-gallon recovery tank pair with a 17-inch cleaning path and 900 RPM speed brush for smaller carpeted areas. At 100 pounds, you can reposition this extractor easily.
  • Marathon 2000: Your 20-gallon solution tank pairs with a 19-inch cleaning path and 1,000 RPM brush speed for larger jobs. Self-propelled operation with operator-controlled speed covers up to 8,500 square feet per hour behind a 22-inch vac shoe, supporting broad solution recovery. A pre-spray hose and wand help you clean edges, corners, and spot-treatment areas. At 190 pounds, this extractor is better suited to extended floor routes than frequent lifting.

Note: The Marathon 2000 provides self-propelled operation, while the Marathon 1200 uses walk-behind operation.

Sylvane's Expert Take

Choose the Tornado Marathon Self-Contained Carpet Extractor series when you maintain commercial carpet and need controlled solution application across broad floor plans. The Marathon 1200 fits smaller areas, while the Marathon 2000 offers operator-controlled propulsion that can reduce fatigue during extended passes in larger areas.
