THE NEW BATTERY-POWERED BACKPACK VACUUM

Whether cleaning classrooms, offices, stairwells, warehouses or public transport from buses right through to aeroplanes, there are countless situations where a light, compact vacuum cleaner is called for. The new battery-powered backpack vacuum from Kärcher combines extremely low weight, high suction power and long battery runtime and is part of Kärcher Battery Power+, our 36 V battery platform. With the vacuum cleaner carried comfortably on your back, dragging a cumbersome vacuum cleaner behind you and searching for power sockets become things of the past.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT AND EXTREMELY POWERFUL!

THE BACKPACK VACUUM IS ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT!

When you are carrying your equipment on your back, then the weight and ergonomics of the carrying frame are vitally important to the user. This is why Kärcher uses expanded polypropylene (EPP). This material is robust but is made of 96% air and is therefore extremely light. It also absorbs noise and is 100% recyclable.

Thanks to the EPP, Karcher cordless backpack vacuum boasts an unladen weight of just 3.3 kg, or 4.6 kg with the battery – this makes the new cordless backpack vacuum from Kärcher one of the lightest machines on the market.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT!

TAKE THE STRAIN OUT OF YOUR WORK WITH KARCHER BATTERY-POWERED BACKPACK VACUUM!

The carrying frame can be adapted to the user's height and is also suitable for left-handed and right-handed users. The controller for the battery-powered backpack vacuum is located on the carrying strap, so it's always within easy reach, whether you're checking the charging state, switching the machine on and off or activating the energy-saving eco!efficiency mode.

TAKE THE STRAIN OUT OF YOUR WORK!
RIGHT- OR LEFT-HANDED? CHANGE THE SUCTION HOSE IN NO TIME!

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER WITH THE BACKPACK VACUUM!


Karcher battery backpack vacuum can easily be adjusted for left-handed or right-handed operation. Simply open the clasp on the machine and turn the waste container so that the suction hose connection is positioned on the required side (left or right). Then simply reattach the suction hose and you're ready to go!

It really can be that simple. Watch the video and you'll see for yourself.

THE BACKPACK VACUUM’S 36 V BATTERY

The 36 V/6.0 Ah Li-Ion battery in the cordless backpack vacuum is compatible with the other 36 V products in the Kärcher Battery Power+ battery platform. The battery supplied as standard with the Bp Pack versions can power your BVL 5/1 Bp for up to approx. 50 minutes in eco!efficiency mode. Using the quick charger supplied (with the Pack version only), the battery takes 44 minutes to reach 80% charge and 68 minutes for 100% charge. So, if you have one extra battery, you can keep working for hours on end. Want to find out more about our Battery Power+ batteries? Click here.

The battery requires zero maintenance and offers an impressive lifetime of 1,000 cycles, meaning lower replacement costs and a longer lifetime for your backpack vacuum.

MAXIMUM HYGIENE WITH THE BACKPACK VACUUM’S HEPA FILTER

The BVL 5/1 Bp battery-powered backpack vacuum is also available with a highly effective HEPA 14 filter as an optional extra. With an extraordinary dust intake capacity of 99.995%, our HEPA 14 filter traps even the smallest particles. The high filter capacity means virtually all aerosols, viruses and germs are caught and are not released back into the ambient air. Certified according to standard DIN EN 1822:2019, the HEPA 14 filter also complies with the high safety standards required in hygienically sensitive areas.

How does the battery-powered backpack vacuum work?

Our new, ultra-lightweight and powerful cordless backpack vacuum is the ideal choice for anybody who is looking for a vacuum cleaner that can deliver power to hard-to-reach spaces. Thanks to its extremely low weight of just 4.6 kg and its innovative battery technology, the cordless backpack vacuum is ready for anything. Driven by a high-performance 36-volt lithium-ion battery from the Kärcher Battery Power+ battery platform, the BVL is particularly suitable for regular cleaning of small areas in offices, shops and practices, as well as in hotels and restaurants or canteens, schools and hospitals. Essentially, anywhere a conventional vacuum cleaner cannot be used.

Ideal for airplanes

Ideal for aeroplanes

Even awkward spaces like overhead lockers are easy to clean using the backpack vacuum. Because I don't have to pick up the vacuum cleaner any more, I have an extra hand free, which makes my job so much easier. Its light weight and the freedom of no cable make it ideal for us to use in the aeroplanes.

Even up a ladder

Even up a ladder

With the backpack vacuum, I can get to every last nook and cranny in our hotel rooms. And if I can't reach it on my feet, I can simply grab a ladder.

Freedom of movement

Freedom of movement

When I use the backpack vacuum, I can vacuum everywhere in our wellness suite without disturbing our guests. There's no cumbersome power cable that could trip up guests and we can now get around areas, such as the pool, that we would never normally be able to access with a regular vacuum cleaner.
