Product Description
Karcher KM 70/20 C Manual Walk-Behind Sweeper
The Karcher KM 70/20 C is a compact manual walk-behind sweeper designed for quick cleanup of indoor and outdoor hard surfaces. Built for reliability and ease of use, this commercial sweeper is ideal for spot cleaning and smaller facilities ranging from approximately 2,000 to 20,000 square feet.
The machine uses a main roller brush and side brush to collect debris with minimal effort while helping control dust through its integrated filter system. Compared with traditional broom sweeping, the KM 70/20 C delivers faster cleaning performance and more consistent debris pickup.
