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.

Product details
Especially in corners, it's nearly impossible to remove damp plant debris. To quickly eliminate this residue, you need a whole cleanup crew or the battery-powered BLV 36-240 Battery, which can handle it on its own. With high power and an airflow of 770 m³/h, this powerful leaf blower effectively tackles wet green waste. The required power can be adjusted continuously via the speed control, allowing you to choose between maximum battery life or performance. Another switch allows you to toggle between blowing and vacuuming settings, which can also be used in combination. When vacuuming, the large leaf bag comes into play, shredding all green waste into small pieces. To ensure that handling during longer work intervals isn't tiring, the design focuses on comfort with an ergonomic two-hand grip for optimal weight distribution and removable guide wheels. This makes working easy and efficient. The suction and blowing tubes can also be removed separately. A battery is not included in the set.

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.
Very good89/100
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.
