When spills, flooding, or unexpected messes interrupt daily operations, facility maintenance teams need equipment they can count on. Whether it's recovering water after floor scrubbing, cleaning a flooded restroom, or responding to an emergency spill, speed and reliability matter.
The ONYX HERO R25 Wet/Dry Vacuum is engineered for these demanding environments. With a true 25-gallon recovery tank, rugged commercial construction, and operator-focused features, the HERO R25 helps maintenance professionals tackle large cleanup jobs efficiently while minimizing downtime.
High-Capacity Recovery for Greater Productivity
Every time a recovery tank needs to be emptied, productivity comes to a halt. That's why the HERO R25 features a true 25-gallon recovery capacity, the largest recovery capacity tank in its category, allowing operators to recover more water and debris before stopping to empty the tank.
The larger capacity makes the R25 an ideal solution for:
- Water recovery after floor scrubbing
- Flood cleanup
- Large spill response
- Restroom and locker room maintenance
- Entryway and lobby cleanup during inclement weather
With fewer interruptions, maintenance teams can complete jobs faster and keep facilities operating smoothly.

Wet recovery can be tough on vacuum motors, especially when water, foam, and debris are involved.
The HERO R25 incorporates an innovative motor head design that helps reduce water and foam ingestion, supporting improved reliability and longer equipment life. By helping protect critical components, the R25 is designed to minimize maintenance issues and maximize uptime.
For facility managers and custodial teams, that means greater confidence that the equipment will be ready when it's needed most.
Wider Coverage, Faster Cleanup
Efficiency isn't just about suction power—it's about covering more area in less time.
The HERO R25 features a 29-inch recovery squeegee, allowing operators to collect liquids quickly across large floor areas. Combined with a 1.5-inch inlet hose, 1.5-inch drain hose, and convenient tip-and-pour drain system, the R25 streamlines the entire recovery process from pickup to disposal.
These features make it well suited for:
- Long hallways
- School corridors
- Healthcare facilities
- Warehouse floors
- Commercial kitchens
- Industrial workspaces
- Retail environments
Improved Visibility for Every Shift
Cleaning crews often work during early mornings, overnight hours, or in areas with limited lighting. Dual LED headlights help illuminate the work area, making it easier to identify standing water, debris, obstacles, and floor edges. Improved visibility supports safer, more effective operation while helping crews deliver consistent cleaning results.
