The Kärcher BV 7/1 HEPA is a heavy‑duty commercial backpack vacuum designed to maximize cleaning productivity while improving indoor air quality. Built for facility maintenance teams, cleaning professionals, and high‑traffic environments, this ergonomic backpack vacuum delivers powerful performance with standard HEPA‑level filtration to trap fine dust, allergens, and particulates — making it perfect for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, theaters, and transit vehicles.
The lightweight yet durable vac‑pac body and ergonomic harness system allow operators to move quickly and comfortably throughout long cleaning sessions. A hip‑mounted power switch and top‑mounted swivel hose offer intuitive control and flexibility for both left‑ and right‑handed users. Despite its robust motor, the BV 7/1 operates quietly at 67 dB(A), enabling daytime cleaning without disruption.
Standard accessories — including a hose, wand, and essential cleaning tools — make this backpack vacuum versatile enough for carpet, hard floors, and hard‑to‑reach areas, while its compact design enhances mobility and reduces operator fatigue.
