Bissell BG-497 Triple Brush Walk Behind Sweeper 38 in

Product Description

The BISSELL BG-497 is a manual, walk-behind floor sweeper built for commercial and institutional hard-floor maintenance. It uses a triple-brush sweeping mechanism to pull debris into a hopper rated at 13.2 gallons (approximately 1.76 cubic feet) of capacity. The 38-inch sweeping width lets a single operator cover large surface areas efficiently without powered assist. At 43 pounds, the unit is substantial enough for consistent contact across uneven surfaces while remaining manageable for daily use by janitorial and facility maintenance staff.

The BG-497 is suited for hard-surface floors in commercial settings such as warehouses, retail spaces, schools, and light industrial facilities. The wide sweeping path reduces the number of passes needed to clear open floor areas. Because it is manually operated, it requires no battery charging or fuel and produces no emissions, making it appropriate for indoor environments. Facility managers and janitorial contractors are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

Installation Notes

Operators should inspect brushes periodically for wear and replace them when sweeping performance declines. Follow the manufacturer documentation for hopper removal and debris disposal procedures.
