Product Description
Karcher Compact Carpet Extraction
Compact 10.5-inch self-contained carpet extractor with a floating brush system, 4.5-gallon solution tank, 120-inch water lift, and optional upholstery and stair-cleaning capability.
The Karcher BRC 30/15 C is a compact self-contained commercial carpet extractor designed for deep cleaning smaller carpeted areas, hallways, offices, guest rooms, entryways, and other spaces where a full-size extractor may be difficult to maneuver.
Its narrow 10.5-inch cleaning path, floating brush system, and powerful three-stage vacuum motor help loosen embedded soil and recover moisture in a single pass. The fold-down handle and large non-marking transport wheels make the machine easier to move between rooms, floors, and cleaning locations.
The BRC 30/15 C can also be expanded for upholstery, stairs, edges, and detail cleaning with the optional hose-and-hand-tool kit.
