Solid, but in comparison somewhat expensive combi device without any major weaknesses. However, the weight and the overheating problem with the batteries are somewhat annoying during operation: if the device is operated for longer than 5 minutes at a time, the battery switches off.

The Kärcher BLV 36-240 Battery is one of the most powerful devices in the test field and does its job reliably. In particular, Kärcher's unique display of the remaining battery life is a real help during work. However, a few details detract from the otherwise good impression.

Despite its size, this cordless vacuum cleaner is easy to handle and has a non-convertible blowing function. In operation, the device shows hardly any weaknesses and convinces not least with its well-functioning aluminium shredding mechanism. The runtime indicator on the battery is a good feature.
