What you need to know about Kärcher cordless technology
In 2019, the Kärcher Battery Universe line of household appliances was released. The key idea of the series is the ability to use the same battery for any device. The main thing is to match the voltage class.
Let's say you have a Kärcher KHB 6 portable car wash with an 18 volt battery. Then you can buy the Kärcher TLO lopper without a battery, as the battery you already own will work with it. This way you will collect all the necessary household tools with solid savings.
Compared to gasoline devices, battery technology works almost silently, does not require additional consumables and does not harm the environment. It's also completely wireless! In total, the line includes more than 40 devices for household and professional use.
What to buy from the Kärcher garden equipment range
Chain Saw
It is convenient to take care of the trees in the garden and prepare firewood for the winter with powerful cordless saw
. It does not make noise, does not stink of gasoline, and is well balanced. The serrated stop allows you to lock the saw so that it does not slip, and the start safety device prevents unintentional start-up.An important nuance for those who have no experience with saws: the chain is easily tensioned by the rotary handle, and it is also automatically lubricated, so you do not have to take additional care of the device. The oil level can always be viewed through a special window.
There are two models in the line - for 35 and 100 cuts of wood from one battery charge. The measurements were carried out on a log with a diameter of 100 mm with a small 2.5 Ah battery. For a saw with a large battery, this figure is twice as high. The more powerful machine is slightly heavier, but it has a much higher chain speed, so you can cut through even the hardest woods.

A perfectly cut lawn is the goal and pride of many gardeners. For small and medium-sized areas, 18-volt are suitable, for large areas - 36 Volt Lawn Mowers. The devices weigh relatively little (from 11.3 to 18.6 kg), easily maneuver on rough terrain and give a clean cut around the perimeter of the lawn.
The cut grass is collected in a collection box with a capacity of 35 to 55 liters. When it is full, the level indicator will tell you that it is time to empty the container. But if you need the grass as a natural fertilizer, you can immediately distribute it over the lawn during mowing with the help of a mulching kit.
The models differ from each other in the cutting diameter of the grass. You can also adjust the lawnmower to your height by locking the handle at a comfortable level. The LMO 36‑46 has a Push Assist function: if you find it difficult to push the mower (for example, you are going uphill), then you can connect the rear wheel drive.

There are three models in the line: the LTR 18‑25 for simple jobs, the LTR 18‑30 for the more challenging and the LTR 36‑33, the most powerful tool in the series. You can cut evenly in the field with any machine, but the LTR 36-33 allows you to smoothly adjust speed tailored to the task - whether you mow tall and dense meadow grass or gently cut the lawn in corners and narrow places. And to help keep you fatigued for extended periods of time, the LTR 36-33 has a padded second handle and a shoulder strap to help reduce strain on your back.
