Product Description
Karcher Commercial Vacuums
Professional commercial upright vacuum series with 12-inch, 15-inch, or 18-inch cleaning widths, automatic brush-height adjustment, electronic monitoring, a 40 ft cord, and optional HEPA filtration.
The Karcher Sensor XP is designed for daily carpet cleaning in schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices, retail stores, government buildings, and other high-traffic commercial environments.

A detachable hose, onboard detail tools, flat-to-floor operation, model-specific double-row brushes, and a 40 ft commercial power cord support efficient floor and above-floor cleaning.
