Frequently Asked Questions

Yes

The HEPA filter can be cleaned by holding it under running water. The dirt cup can be cleaned in the same way. 

The filter should be air dried only – do NOT put the filter in a clothes dryer or attempt to dry with a hair dryer, as this could permanently damage the HEPA filter.

Our cordless vacs excel at picking up pet hair! For floor cleaning, pet owners often clean with the brush roll powered on to assist in actively picking up the hair.

If you find the brush roll accumulating hair while you vacuum, it's easy to detach so that you can quickly clean it without the floor nozzle getting in the way. 

The upholstery nozzle is also great for removing dog and cat hair from sofas, chairs and more. 

Yes

The brush roll can be easily removed for cleaning or to replace with a new brush roll. Please see the owner's manual for specific instructions on how remove, clean and/or replace it. 

Kärcher cordless vacuums typically require three to five hours to fully charge from empty. Less time is required if the battery is already partially charged.

Up to 71 minutes, depending on the model, power mode and attachment configuration. Please see the operating time chart above for detailed information.

––––––--–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-

Living a Fit and Full Life

"It's a terrific vacuum for those with allergies as it truly removes an amazing amount of dust and debris from surfaces ... I absolutely love that it's cordless ... and that it can operate as a hand vac or a stick vac."

What's New Dr. Frank? CBS, Washington DC

"Very light weight and the thing that’s amazing about it, is the suction. People are amazed about how much suction it actually [has]."
