Why this Polivac Steam Cleaner makes everyday cleaning faster and safer
The Mini Terminator is purpose-built for professionals who need powerful cleaning performance in areas where larger machines are impractical. Its lightweight, manoeuvrable design makes it easy to transport between sites, lift into vehicles and move through tight spaces without sacrificing cleaning effectiveness.
This makes it an ideal solution for operators working in confined environments, multi-level buildings or detail-focused cleaning tasks where speed, access and control matter most.
Ideal for:
-
Contract and commercial cleaners needing a portable, easy-to-handle steam cleaner
-
Cafés, hospitality and food service areas with limited space behind counters and equipment
-
Healthcare, aged care and schools where mobility and hygiene are critical
-
Spot cleaning carpets, upholstery, stairs and detailed areas
-
Vehicles, workshops and specialised cleaning where access is restricted
How the Mini compares to the full-size Polivac Terminator
While both machines are part of the trusted Polivac Terminator range, they are designed for different cleaning needs. The differences are mainly in size, capacity and workload capability.
Choose the Mini Terminator if portability, ease of handling and access to tight spaces are priorities. Opt for the full-size Terminator if your work involves large floor areas, continuous operation and maximum productivity with fewer interruptions.

Mini Terminator: Compact and lightweight, easy to transport, store and manoeuvre in tight or elevated spaces (24kg / 420mm x 530mm x 890mm dimensions).

Full-size Terminator: Higher overall vacuum (2 x 1100W) capacity designed for heavier workloads and larger carpeted areas
