Product Description
Karcher Autonomous Commercial Vacuuming
24-inch autonomous stand-on vacuum with BrainOS teach-and-repeat navigation, integrated lithium power, HEPA filtration bags, and productivity up to 18,000 ft²/hr.
The Karcher KIRA CV 60/1 is a large autonomous commercial vacuum designed for productive dry cleaning across wide carpeted and hard-floor areas. Its stand-on design allows an operator to drive and teach cleaning routes manually before the machine repeats those routes autonomously.
Powered by an integrated lithium-ion battery, the KIRA CV 60/1 combines a 24-inch cleaning width, up to 18,000 ft² per hour of productivity, HEPA filtration bags, and BrainOS autonomous navigation. It is designed to help facilities reduce repetitive wide-area vacuuming while allowing staff to focus on detailed cleaning, touchpoints, restrooms, stairs, and other tasks that still require manual attention.
The machine may be operated in either autonomous or manual mode. Autonomous operation requires the appropriate BrainOS software license and setup services for the selected ownership period.

Autonomous Cleaning Productivity
The KIRA CV 60/1 is designed to automate repeatable wide-area vacuuming routes while allowing cleaning professionals to focus on detailed tasks that require human judgment.
Supports productive vacuuming across large carpeted commercial spaces.
Balances cleaning coverage with maneuverability in corridors and open spaces.
Actual productivity varies based on route design, obstacles, floor type, debris level, operator setup, autonomous speed, turns, and facility layout.
