New Karcher CVU 30/1 HEPA 11.8" Upright Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The CVU 30/1 HEPA is the narrow-head model in Kärcher's CVU HEPA line. Its 11.8-inch path fits between beds, desks and chairs in hotel rooms, classrooms, patient rooms and senior living apartments. One 1,000-watt motor runs both the suction and the 2,700 rpm brush, and the whole machine weighs 18 pounds.
What stands out is the filtration and the serviceability. Air goes through a three-layer paper bag and a 0.3-micron MicroFilter before reaching the HEPA exhaust filter, which Kärcher says stretches HEPA filter life to 200 to 300 hours. The electronics live in the base instead of the swivel, the cord swaps without tools, and the bag-full and check-brush indicators are mechanical.
The trade-offs are the narrow path and manual brush height. Open lobbies and corridors go faster with the 14.2-inch CVU 36/1, and the four-position pile knob has to be set by the operator. If you want automatic brush height, look at the Sensor XP 12.”
An 11.8-inch single-motor upright with HEPA final-stage filtration.
The Kärcher CVU 30/1 HEPA (1.012-595.0) is an 11.8-inch single-motor commercial upright vacuum, listed by Kärcher as its twelve-inch CVU model. A 1,000 W motor on 120 V produces 106 cfm of airflow and 225 mbar (about 90 in) of suction, and drives a 2,700 rpm brush through a non-slip belt. Debris collects in a 1.4-gallon three-layer paper bag.
Filtration continues through a 0.3-micron MicroFilter and a HEPA final-stage exhaust filter. Brush height is set with a four-position pile knob, by foot or with the attachment tube. Bag-full and check-brush indicators are mechanical, and the machine switches off if the brush jams. The hose, attachment tube, crevice tool and upholstery tool are stored on board, and the 40-ft cord changes without tools.
