Karcher CV 38/2 Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Its 15-inch cleaning width, optical brush-adjustment aid, ergonomic controls, and service-friendly design help operators clean efficiently while reducing maintenance time.

Built for Commercial Productivity
Accurate carpet adjustment. The optical brush-adjustment aid provides a visual indication when setting the roller-brush height. This helps operators match the brush position to looped pile, textured carpet, and thin, medium, or thick cut-pile carpeting.
Efficient large-area cleaning. The 15-inch working width helps operators cover commercial carpet efficiently. The dual-motor system separates vacuum performance from brush operation, with a dedicated 150-watt motor driving the roller brush.
Fast cable servicing. The pluggable 39.5 ft (12 m) power cable is designed for quick replacement. This service-friendly system reduces the time and technical knowledge normally required to change a damaged cord.
Tool-free brush maintenance. The roller brush can be removed and replaced without tools, helping cleaning teams complete routine maintenance quickly. A filter-status indicator also lets operators know when the filtration system requires attention.
Floor and detail cleaning in one machine. The removable suction tube, stretchable hose, crevice nozzle, and upholstery nozzle allow operators to clean carpet, furniture, edges, corners, and niches without switching equipment. The hose can also be removed quickly when a blockage needs to be cleared.
Ergonomic daily operation. The handle places the on/off switch within easy reach, supporting comfortable control during extended cleaning sessions. Onboard clips keep the crevice and upholstery nozzles secured to the machine and ready for use.
Optional HEPA 13 filtration. An optional HEPA 13 filter is certified according to DIN EN 1822:2019 and provides a stated separation degree of 99.95%. HEPA filtration is optional and is not included as standard.
