Frequently Asked Questions

An electric broom offers the following advantages over a regular broom:

  • Sweep more quickly: An electric broom can easily cut your sweeping time in half. 
  • Sweep under furniture: Sweeping under a sofa or bed can be difficult (if not impossible) with a regular broom. An electric broom with a swivel head can easily clean these difficult-to-reach areas. 
  • Less effort and strain: The motor on an electric broom does all of the sweeping for you. You simply need to guide the broom over the floors you want to clean. 
  • Easier on your back: No bending is required to collect or empty the dirt – an electric broom sweeps the dirt directly into a container that is easy to remove and empty. 
  • No dirt contact: With a traitional broom and dustpan, dust and other objects can spill out while you're carrying or emptying the dustpan. With an electric broom, you never come into contact with the dirt. The dirt container is open on only one end, so that emptying it into the trash is easy and doesn't make a mess.

An electric broom is ideal for quick pickups and offers these benefits:

  • Quick to use: An electric broom takes up so little space that most people store it in a kitchen or hall closet. There are no cumbersome cords, attachments or heavy pieces involved. The electric broom is ready to go, simply pull back the handle to start sweeping.
  • Light weight and easy to use: A cordless electric broom is so light weight that most anyone (including kids and seniors) can hold and operate it. Unlike heavy vacuums, an electric broom requires minimal effort to carry and push.
  • Clean under furniture: Unlike many vacuums, the handle on our electric broom can fold all the way down to the floor, allowing you to easily clean under beds, sofas and other low furniture. 
  • Low noise: Kärcher's KB 5 electric broom meets the standards for QuietMark®  – ensuring minimal noise during operation. In fact, many customers report that the KB 5 makes so little noise that it does not disturb dogs and other pets – something that usually can not be said for vacuums! 
  • Battery-powered cleaning freedom: No need to fuss with long, tangly cords – an electric broom's cordless operation means complete cleaning freedom. 

NOTE: Electric brooms are not well suited for carpet cleaning – we recommend using a vacuum to clean carpets and deep-pile rugs. Many customers tell us they use an electric broom for quick pickups and daily sweeping duties, then use a vacuum for a weekly deep clean.
