Product Description
Karcher Commercial Carpet Care
Dual-method 20-inch walk-behind carpet machine for low-moisture encapsulation cleaning and restorative extraction with 36V AGM power, 100 PSI solution delivery, and large-capacity tanks.
The Karcher Commodore DUO is a commercial walk-behind carpet cleaning machine designed to perform both interim encapsulation cleaning and deep extraction cleaning with one platform.
Operators can switch between cleaning methods without a mechanical changeover. This helps facilities use low-moisture encapsulation for routine appearance maintenance and extraction for scheduled restorative cleaning.
The 36V AGM battery system, 20-inch cleaning path, 19-gallon solution tank, 17-gallon recovery tank, dual counter-rotating brushes, and overlapping vacuum shoes make the Commodore DUO a strong fit for hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and other large carpeted buildings.
