This Vacuum is Ultra-Lightweight!

When you are carrying your equipment on your back, then the weight and ergonomics of the harness are vitally important to the user. This is why Kärcher uses expanded polypropylene (EPP) for the BVL 5/1 Bp. This material is durable but is made of 96% air and is therefore extremely light. It also absorbs noise and is 100% recyclable.

Thanks to the EPP, the BVL 5/1 Bp boasts an base weight of just over 7 lbs. or 10 lbs. with the battery – this makes the new cordless backpack vacuum from Kärcher one of the lightest machines on the market.

Take the Strain Out of Your Work

The carrying frame can be adapted to the user's height and is also suitable for left-handed and right-handed users. The controller for the battery-powered backpack vacuum is located on the carrying strap, so it's always within easy reach, whether you're checking the charging state, switching the machine on and off or activating the energy-saving eco!efficiency mode.

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER WITH THE BACKPACK VACUUM!

The BVL 5/1 Bp can easily be adjusted for left-handed or right-handed operation. Simply open the clasp on the machine and turn the waste container so that the suction hose connection is positioned on the required side (left or right). Then simply reattach the suction hose and you're ready to go!

It really can be that simple. Watch the video and you'll see for yourself.

THE BACKPACK VACUUM’S 36 V BATTERY

The 36 V/6.0 Ah Li-Ion battery in the BVL 5/1 Bp cordless backpack vacuum is compatible with the other 36 V products in the Kärcher Battery Power+ battery platform. The battery supplied as standard with the Bp Pack versions can power your BVL 5/1 Bp for up to approx. 50 minutes in eco!efficiency mode. Using the quick charger supplied (with the Pack version only), the battery takes 44 minutes to reach 80% charge and 68 minutes for 100% charge. So, if you have one extra battery, you can keep working for hours on end. Want to find out more about our Battery Power+ batteries?

The battery requires zero maintenance and offers an impressive lifetime of 1,000 cycles, meaning lower replacement costs and a longer lifetime for your backpack vacuum.

MAXIMUM CLEAN WITH THE BACKPACK VACUUM’S HEPA FILTER

The BVL 5/1 Bp battery-powered backpack vacuum is also available with a highly effective HEPA 14 filter as an optional extra. With an extraordinary dust intake capacity of 99.995%, our HEPA 14 filter traps even the smallest particles. The high filter capacity means virtually all aerosols, viruses and germs are caught and are not released back into the ambient air. Certified according to standard DIN EN 1822:2019, the HEPA 14 filter also complies with the high safety standards required in hygienically sensitive areas.

THE BACKPACK VACUUM WITH A BRUSHLESS DRIVE

With a brushless EC drive, the BVL 5/1 Bp battery-powered backpack vacuum is very low-wear, which helps extend its lifetime. This makes the backpack vacuum ideal for applications requiring intensive use, while also increasing efficiency and productivity.

SIMPLE OPERATION WITH THE BACKPACK VACUUM

The BVL 5/1 Bp battery-powered backpack vacuum is very easy to operate. The controller for the cordless backpack vacuum is attached to the carrying strap, so that it can be operated easily from your hip. From the controller, you can read the charging state and switch the backpack vacuum on and off. The energy-saving eco!efficiency mode can also be activated from here.
