At IFA 2026, Kärcher unveiled several new cleaning products arriving from early 2027.
Wet & dry vacuums – FCV 5 & FCV 6
Both keep 1-hour runtime and four modes, but now tilt 180° to clean under furniture and along baseboards. Clean-water tanks hold 720 ml and rollers are machine-washable. Drying stations run hotter (80 °C / 90 °C). The FCV 6 adds hair-cutting scissors in the dock, voice alerts, auto detergent dosing and smart drying.
Available from January 2027 (FCV 5 limited pre-launch from October)
Compact steam cleaner
Smaller Deluxe model with two power levels and removable accessory storage. Launches January 2027.
