Highly manoeuvrable, user-friendly and easy-to-maintain, the BD 38/12 C scrubber drier is a professional and efficient machine for cleaning small areas and cluttered surfaces. The lithium-ion battery has a prolonged running time, making it 3 times more durable than normal lead batteries.
It is completely maintenance-free and quick to recharge whilst the eco!efficiency mode increases running time and reduces energy consumption by up to 40%. The 38/12 is perfect for healthcare, retail, contract cleaning and a wide range of other applications.
Disc brush head
The disc head of the BD 38/12 C is ideal for use on smooth, flat surfaces and can be used in conjunction with brushes or pads.
Easy storage and transport
The steering column of the BD 38/12 C folds up quickly and easily which allows for easy storage and transportation.
Faster, longer, lighter - Li-Ion technology
The high performance battery for the BD 38/12 C is extremely light - resulting in reduced weight and increased handling and mobility of the machine. The Li-Ion technology also allows for quick recharge times, the ability to opportunity charge and a life span that is approximately 3 times longer than standard lead-acid batteries. This means a machine that is always ready to use.
The next level of efficiency
Kärcher’s eco!efficiency mode is a milestone on the path towards sustainability: it utilises energy and resources intelligently. Noise levels, energy and water consumption is reduced which result in greater run times and the ability to use the machine in noise sensitive areas.
