Product details

Especially from corners moist plant remains are hardly to get out. In order to remove this sediment quickly, a whole cleaning crew is needed.
Or the battery-operated BLV 36-240 Battery, it does it all by itself. With high power and an air flow of 770 m3/h, this powerful vacuum cleaner removes even wet green waste. The required power is infinitely variable via the speed, so that you can choose between maximum battery life or power. A further selection lever allows you to switch between the blowing or vacuuming settings, which can also be used in combination. When vacuuming, the large leaf bag is used, into which all green waste is shredded equally. To ensure that handling is not fatiguing during longer working intervals, attention has been paid to carrying comfort by means of an ergonomic two-handed handle for optimum weight distribution and removable guide rollers. These make working easy and efficient. The suction and blow pipe can also be removed separately. A battery is not included in the set.

The Kärcher BLV 36-240 Battery is one of the most powerful devices in the test field and does its job reliably. In particular, Kärcher's unique display of the remaining battery life is a real help during work. However, a few details detract from the otherwise good impression.

Solid, but in comparison somewhat expensive combi device without any major weaknesses. However, the weight and the overheating problem with the batteries are somewhat annoying during operation: if the device is operated for longer than 5 minutes at a time, the battery switches off.
