Electric Brooms
Our electric brooms quickly sweep your home's hardwood floors, stairs and rugs. These lightweight, cordless sweepers pick up pet hair and dirt much more quietly than a vacuum. Perfect for everyday floor cleaning!

Electric brooms are quicker to use than a vacuum cleaner
We all know the problem: as soon as you've finished vacuuming, there are crumbs already on the floor again. The cordless electric broom from Kärcher is ideal for intermediate cleaning – without having to get the vacuum cleaner out again. Thanks to its compact and modern design, the KB 5 can be stored wherever it is needed and is always ready to use.

The innovative Kärcher Adaptive Cleaning System delivers brilliant cleaning results. Thanks to the movable sweeping edge, optimal dirt guidance and special cleaning brush, dirt is moved into the waste container without getting into the air or leaving traces behind.
Don't get locked in
Some electric brooms can move forward, backward and maybe sideways – but thanks to its swivel head, our cordless electric broom can move in all directions!
Once you've used this swivel feature, you'll never go back. Now you can reach every corner and clean between chair legs with ease.
What's more, the swivel allows the handle to go down low enough to completely sweep under beds, sofas, furniture and more.

Off to a running start
There's no need to waste time hunting for an on/off switch – our electric brooms are equipped with an auto-start feature.

Staying power
When it comes to sweeping floors, we don't believe in skimping on cleaning power. No one wants to sweep half their floors and wait for a broom to recharge before sweeping the other half.
Our electric brooms are powered by advanced lithium-ion batteries that store enough energy to clean the floors in an average home before requiring a recharge.
Our lithium-ion batteries are maintenance-free and designed to last the life of the electric broom.

Much quieter than a vacuum
You'd be hard-pressed to find a quiet vacuum – they're typically one of the loudest home appliances, just ask your pets!
Our electric brooms are significantly quieter because they sweep rather than vacuum. A rotating brush sweeps debris into the dustpan, whereas a vac needs a loud motor and fan to suck up debris.
Our customers tell us they can operate their Kärcher electric broom without waking their children or terrorizing their pets. We put our brooms to the test and they were awarded a Quiet Mark for their low noise output.

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.
The KB 5 is made in a Kärcher manufacturing plant in Germany.
Yes, the brush can be easily removed for cleaning, in the event hair, string or other objects become entwined in the bristles. The brush slides out, similar to how the dirt container slides out.
