Karcher Sensor® XP 18 Commercial Upright Vacuum
The Karcher Sensor® XP 18 is a commercial upright vacuum designed for contract cleaners, schools, offices, hotels, and facilities with large carpeted areas. Its 18-inch cleaning path, automatic brush-height adjustment, 1,200-watt motor, and lightweight handle feel help operators clean efficiently without manually adjusting the brush for changing carpet conditions.
Large facilities need equipment that covers more floor without adding unnecessary steps to the cleaning process. Narrow cleaning paths require more passes, while incorrect brush settings can reduce performance or slow operators down. The Sensor XP 18 addresses those challenges with automatic brush-height adjustment, a wide cleaning path, and a proven single-motor platform designed for reliable commercial use.

Built for Commercial Productivity
Automatic carpet adjustment. The Sensor XP 18 automatically adjusts its brush height as flooring conditions change. Operators do not need to stop and select a manual setting, helping maintain consistent brush contact across looped pile, textured carpet, and thin, medium, or thick cut-pile carpeting.
Wide-area efficiency. The 18-inch cleaning path allows the vacuum to cover more carpet with each pass. Its rated practical working capacity of 3,659 ft² per hour makes it well suited to corridors, conference spaces, hospitality areas, classrooms, and other large carpeted environments.
Single-motor simplicity. A single 1.6 hp motor powers the machine while helping reduce handle weight. The lighter operating feel can improve operator comfort and reduce fatigue during longer commercial cleaning shifts.
Dependable vacuum performance. The 1,200-watt motor produces 105 CFM airflow and 90 inches of water lift. A brush speed of 2,700 rpm supports routine removal of dirt and debris from commercial carpeting.
Fewer interruptions. The 40 ft power cord provides a larger working area from each electrical outlet. A 1.4 gal (5.3 L) dust bag also gives operators useful capacity for routine facility cleaning.
Detail cleaning included. The supplied upholstery nozzle and crevice nozzle help operators clean furniture, edges, and narrow spaces without bringing a separate vacuum to the job.
