Lägler HUMMEL
The main belt sander for taking a floor to bare wood.
4 fields the manufacturer does not publish.
Will it run on the circuit you have?
12 professional floor sanding machines from Lägler, Bona, American Sanders, with the electrical requirement each manufacturer actually publishes — and the arithmetic for what happens when two of them share one circuit.
No prices, and no square feet per hour. Not an oversight: none of these manufacturers publishes a machine price, and not one of them publishes a productivity figure for any machine in this list. Every such number you have seen is an estimate. What they do publish — voltage, power, minimum fuse, the connector a machine cannot run without — is here, each figure linked to the document it came from.
The question before the truck is loaded

Why a flooring company publishes this
Because we run these machines
Ecowoods sands floors with equipment from this list, in houses where the electrical service was designed for a radio. The machine sequence we use is set out in the refinishing machines paper, and what a floor does between the passes is computed by the movement calculator.
Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, and nothing here is sponsored. If a manufacturer wants a figure corrected, the source URL for every number is on the machine’s own page — send the document that supersedes it.
