The Karcher T 12/1 is a quiet and efficient vacuum cleaner perfect for hospitality, contract cleaners, shops, restaurants, offices, hospitals and private households, and more. Small, maneuverable vacuum for daily maintenance and cleaning. Save space and time without sacrificing power! The T 12/1 comes with a standard fleece filter bag with three times the capacity of a traditional paper filter bag. The filter bag adds further benefit when working through longer operation sessions, offering longer periods between bag changes. Air flow, motor performance, and the 6-stage filter system (with optional microfilter) have been designed to prevent loss of suction power. Where needed, HEPA filtration can be used with a paper filter bag. The low center of gravity design prevents tipping as it follows the user. The T 12/1 has cable storage built in and can also be stored on a pull-out cable hook for convenience when the user moves from room to room frequently. To prevent the hose from being detached while the machine is being pulled behind the user, the suction hose on the unit has a simple but effective plug-in clip system. The new clip system also allows for an easy extension of the suction hose which makes cleaning stairways and steps much easier.
