Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Rabbit-1 weigh?
The Rabbit-1 weighs 93 lbs or 42.2 kg with the handle and electric power cable.
When you detach the handle, the Rabbit-1 base weighs just 79 lbs or 36 kg and the separated handle & power cable weighs 15 lbs or 7 kg.
Which machine is better for cleaning baseboards? The Rabbit-1 or Rabbit-3?
Both the Rabbit-1 and Rabbit-3 floor machines are designed for baseboard cleaning (with the Flex Hose, Water Tank and the Scrub Jay attachment)
The choice of a Rabbit-1 or a Rabbit-3 machine really comes down to what else you need your machine to do. If you’re ONLY looking for a baseboard cleaning machine, the Rabbit-1 is an excellent choice.
How do I downsize the Rabbit-1?
The Rabbit-1 has a removable SplashGuard.
When you remove the SplashGuard you can now attach a 13″ drive pad, or 13″ brush and use the machine to get into those hard to reach areas that need a “smaller” cleaning path.
What size drive block can I use on the Rabbit-1?
The Rabbit-1 comes standard with an 18″ drive block. When you downsize the machine, you can attach the 13″ drive block.
How quiet is the Rabbit-1?
The Rabbit-1 sports an AC motor which is completely enclosed. This reduces the sound level of the machine to just 60 dBA, making it the ideal machine to work in environments such as hotel lobbies, hall ways of apartment buildings, and other busy environments where equipment noise needs to be kept at a minimum.
How much additional weight can I put on a Rabbit-1?
The Rabbit-1 is designed to accommodate an additional 80 lbs of weight (two 40 lb horseshoe weights, part #2F03072). This allows you to grind and strip floors in up to half the time.

Leading Institutions That Select Centaur Floor Machines
Versatile and a Time Saver
“I’ve been using Centaur floor machines for 15 years with great success. Attachments like the water tank and the 40lb weight makes the machine’s versatility quite impressive. The baseboard attachment (Scrub Jay) is phenomenal. As you know wax and liquids get splashed on the baseboards throughout the year and it is very time consuming to remove them by hand, but with this attachment, all that is required is to apply baseboard cleaner and go.”
—Dustin Chang, FCH Maintenance
