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 place, even in tight spots. The 2-stage washable filter system, consisting of a fine steel mesh for coarse dirt and hair, along with a downstream HEPA filter, ensures particularly clean exhaust air. Additional advantages include high suction power and a longer lifespan thanks 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. With the convenient USB-C charging option, the vacuum is especially well-suited for cars and camping.
