Maintain large carpeted areas efficiently with the Kärcher CV 38/1 commercial upright vacuum. Its powered roller brush reaches into carpet pile to remove dust, hair, threads and embedded debris while helping lift and refresh the carpet’s appearance.
The wider 15-inch cleaning path covers more floor with each pass, making the CV 38/1 a practical choice for hotels, offices, retail stores, healthcare facilities and other commercial environments with extensive carpeting.
Adjustable Brush Cleaning for Commercial Carpets
The roller-brush height can be manually adjusted to suit different carpet pile depths. A filter-status indicator helps the operator identify restricted airflow, while Kärcher’s patented centrifugal clutch protects the brush head if the roller becomes blocked.
An automatic pressure-release mechanism protects the carpet and helps prevent the roller brush from becoming deformed when the vacuum is standing still.
Convenient Cleaning Beyond the Floor
A removable suction tube and stretchable hose provide the reach needed to clean upholstery, stairs, corners, edges and other difficult-to-access areas. The included crevice and upholstery nozzles are stored on the machine for convenient access during cleaning.
The height-adjustable handle supports comfortable use by different operators, while a 39-foot power cord reduces the need to change electrical outlets when cleaning large rooms and corridors.
