A strong helper for everyday life: The cordless handheld vacuum cleaner CVH 3 powerfully removes all types of dirt, such as hair, crumbs, and dust, without leaving any residue on any surface and in any location, even in tight spaces. The 2-stage washable filter system, featuring a fine steel mesh for coarse dirt and hair, along with a downstream HEPA filter, ensures particularly clean exhaust air. Additional benefits include high suction power and longer lifespan due to the quiet BLDC motor, the compact and lightweight design of the device, as well as 2 suction levels with up to 20 minutes of battery life. Thanks to the convenient charging option via USB-C, the vacuum is especially well-suited for cars and camping.
