FILTER PERFORMANCE

The K 5500 vacuum cleaner features a completely new Kärcher water filter system which picks up even the smallest particles. The additional HEPA- Plus high-performance filter catches all allergens.

99.99% of all particles over 0.3 microns in size are removed from the exhaust air which is then cleaner than the ambient air.
