Detailed review of Karcher's 14,000 yen stick cleaner "KB5" in the editorial department!Impressive that you can get garbage even if you do not smoke!

Karcher Japan, a Japanese subsidiary of Germany, known for cleaning equipment, released the home stick cleaner "KB 5 Yellow" and "KB 5 White" on March 1, 2018.The actual selling price is 14,010 yen (tax included).

Battery cordless cleaner that stirs garbage with a rotating brush

This unit is a battery -style cordless stick cleaner that collects garbage in a dust box by stirring with a rotating brush instead of smoking.Weight 1.It is 2kg lightweight and compact, and the power is turned on just by defeating the stick, and if you return the stick, the power will be turned off, so you can clean it with the minimum operation.The operation sound is quieter than a general vacuum cleaner.

The impression is surprisingly light, with the impression of moving forward without permission.

This time, the actual machine arrived at the editorial department for the monitor, so I actually used it.The first thing that surprised me was the lightness of the operation.The body is also 1.In addition to 2kg, the head is easy to move forward with the power of the brush rotation, so the operation is easy.The worrisome thing is, "Can I really get garbage without sucking?"If you put the carpet for about 5 minutes and look at the dust box ... you can get cotton garbage more than you think.It seems that hair and sand grains are also removed.

Note that you can get enough paper garbage and powdered dust, but the walls are different on the left and right.

Next, I put paper garbage in a space about 50 cm wide and about 1m long.As you can see from the photo below that the road is formed after this unit is passed, the collection of paper garbage is excellent.With just a few round trips, I got a paper garbage.

The interesting thing is that the way of removing garbage is not symmetrical.When you get the handle, the right side of the head can collect the garbage of the wall, but if you clean the wall on the left, you will be left behind.This is because the right side has a garbage import and brush to the last minute of the head, while the left side has a blank area of about 2 cm from the end of the head (there is no brush).It seems that there is a belt to turn the roller here, or a structural feature.When cleaning the garbage of the wall, you should try to clean this point in mind.

So what about powdered spomes?If you sprinkle the powder cream used for coffee on the carpet, you will have a slight flour by applying it once, but if you go back and forth with two or three times, the white part will be removed.It turns out that ordinary powdered domplies can be collected without any problems.

The driving sound is a regular sound with low motor sounds and brushes on the floor.Unlike a vacuum cleaner, there is no loud noise of keen, and there is no harsh impression.In that sense, it seems that it can be used in highly public places such as offices.

I am good at cleaning under the object while not good at changing directions

On the other hand, I was regrettable that I was not good at changing the direction of the head.If you try to change direction just by twisting the grip, the head will float.In addition, since the head is almost a square "surface", it is difficult to proceed if there is an unevenness on the floor, and it is difficult to screw it into a small gap between things.

However, since the operation feeling is super light, it is not difficult to change the direction while making a round trip.In addition, the stick can be defeated to the last minute of the floor, and the gap between the height (about 10 cm) with the head and the joint part can be cleaned, so slide the chairs and racks down without any objects.I have done it.

The design is simple, but the coloring is unique.According to Mr. M, a deputy editor -in -chief of GETNAVI's magazine and "a huge object of film lovers," he said, "I hope there is one."(In the room), it blends in. "Certainly, this color is where the taste is divided.White is also available, so you can consider this.

The advantage of the light operation feeling and the simplicity that can be completed in 5 seconds

As for the feeling of using it, the gathering power is more than expected.It supported a wide range of types, from paper garbage to cotton trash and powdered dust.And above all, the operation should be easy and simple.Mass 1 of this unit.Speaking of 2 kg, it is the lightest class for a suction type stick vacuum cleaner.In addition, the center of gravity has the center of gravity on the head, so there is almost no burden on hand, and if you use it once, everyone will be surprised at the lightness of the operation.Also, if you put it in the corner of the room, for example, when the powder is spilled in the kitchen, when the pet spills the dry food, it can be used quickly just by defeating the main unit, and the storage is completed (just set up 5 seconds.)The price is reasonable at 14018 yen, so it is perfect for those who have the main vacuum cleaner and want to buy more cordless as a sub vacuum cleaner.
