These machines are renowned for their robust construction, powerful engines, and innovative features.

The CR450S is a compact model well-suited for smaller properties and tight spaces. It boasts a powerful 4.5 horsepower engine that ensures impressive suction capability. The vacuum's 27-inch wide nozzle allows for quick collection of leaves, grass clippings, and debris, while its lightweight design facilitates easy maneuverability.

This makes it ideal for professional landscapers and contractors who require prolonged usage without frequent stops. The CR550H offers enhanced filtration and a more robust design, ensuring dust control and improving air quality during operation.
