The Bissell BigGreen Commercial BG-497 is a 38-inch, triple-brush manual push sweeper that cleans large floors fast with no cords, batteries, or exhaust. Its patented Turbo sweeping system uses two counter-rotating front brushes to pull debris straight in front of the unit while a bottom brush roller picks up fine particles, sweeping twice in a single pass. A 13.2-gallon hopper means long runs between empties, and the belt-free, push-powered design keeps maintenance and operating costs low.
