The Tornado EB 30/1 (marketed by Karcher as a Tornado-brand electric stick vacuum) is a battery-powered electric broom built for daily hard floor and carpet maintenance. At just 90mm tall, it slides under radiators and low furniture, and its foot-operated switch and locking vertical storage keep it easy to grab and put away.

• Telescopic broomstick with push handle adjusts to the operator's height; a universal joint lets the head move in every direction
• Nickel cadmium battery runs about 30 minutes on carpet or 45 minutes on hard floors per charge
• Standard charging takes 12 hours; an optional fast charger reduces that to 50 minutes, and batteries swap without tools for uninterrupted use
• Removable 1-liter dustbin, polypropylene base with a rubber bumper, and a brush-cleaning groove that clears wound fibers with a knife pass

Quiet operation at 56 dBA suits daytime use in occupied commercial spaces.
