After purchase phoned to register but told can’t because bought from Amazon without receipt?
As described in advert, arrived as expected, very easy to use
Fantastic piece of kit very easy to use very effective lightweight absolutely thrilled with i
I bought this to replace the corded version which I found too heavy and awkward. This one is light and does just as good a job. The run time may seem a bit short but it is more than enough to do both my kitchen and bathroom. Note – this is not a heavy duty cleaner but is really meant to maintain a clean floor or deal with spills. Rather the same as a manual squeegee but much better.
Used the older plug-in Kaercher before and found it too heavy. This one is great in weight and easiness of handling. Happy with purchase.
Arrived sooner than expected and very simple to assemble. Had the bigger 240v one, this was heavy and tended to fall over if you didn’t put it back in the holder correctly. This is so much lighter and easy to use, pick it up, take it to the area you wish to clean and off you go. No swapping plug sockets or lugging around heavy, may I say industrial equipment. It does all my flat floors in one charge and although being a little slower than the original 240v one, gives me the same result. The floor is slightly wetter as it is not a vacuum cleaner aswell, if you empty it and remove the water tank, you can very quickly dry the floor and polish it. Takes a while to charge but who wants to wash floors all day, plug it in and it will stop automatically when fully charged. The charge level is bright and easy to read, when you are down to about 4mins of charge left, the indicator flashes, so it doesn’t just stop unexpectedly. Spare rollers can be stored on the base stand and the dirty ones can go straight in the washing machine at 60c. Ideal floor cleaner for your home.
Had tried the FC5 mains which was good but slightly heavy for me so went with the FC3 cordless. Takes a while to charge but lighter weight. Bought another set of rollers with firmer bristles within the microfibre which work better on uneven ceramic tiles. It still doesn’t clean the grout between the tiles but it is better than mop and bucket.
Efficient cleaning of quarry tiles in the kitchen and wooden floors. Really pleased.
Having just had wood floors laid throughout our downstairs I wanted a cleaner that didn’t take up a lot of room, was cordless, lightweight, easy to use and went right to the edges of the rooms. This cleaner fits this requirement perfectly. Its easy to fill with water and easy to remove then dirty water. The rollers can be removed easily too so they can be washed. I would recommend purchasing some spare rollers though. The best thing about this cleaner is that although it uses water to clean, it doesn’t leave loads of water on the floor, which means the floor is dry in minutes. I would definitely recommend.
fantastic piece of kit. Easy to use, brings up Amtico floors to a superb clean finish.
Whilst the cleaner is light and easy to use, the battery life while in use is not long enough and it does leave the floor quite wet. Also the cover you have to remove to empty the dirty water, can be quite difficult and the dirty water reservoir is quite small. Overall I do like it. Great for a quick clean.
Love this, it zooms round at the the touch of a finger and cleans far more thoroughly than I’ve ever managed. My cleaning lady retired, but this is honestly a lot better, and is working out a whole lot cheaper than paying someone to do it. It’s so quick and it’s easy to whisk it round in a few minutes – I’m a total convert!
So easy to use .I have MS and a bad back.
This does the work for you,I love it!
Easy and quick to use, great tool for engineered wooden floors. Have tried all cleaning solutions available find the one for oiled and waxed wood the best for our floors.
Had been looking for alternative to a standard mop for ages. Needed a simple mop that would clean without steam and would leave the floor reasonable dry. This worked a treat. The vinyl wood flooring was dry with a few mins compared to a standard mop, which took 10-15 mins to dry completely. No heavy bucket of water to lift.
Battery life could be a bit longer as we have a lot of hardwood floors but otherwise good – very easy to use
Really happy with this purchase. Our newly laid off white stone flooring is clean again! We have a black lab so a good test as she leaves muddy footprints often. Need to hoover floor first…mainly dog fur. I have arthritis in my hands which makes it little difficult sometimes. Husband is happy to use it. Like to say it doesn’t leave the floor wet and able to walk over it after 5mins.
This is abs fabulous for doin all my wooden floors
Excellent, no buckets of water or floor drying. Makes cleaning tiled floors a breeze floors nice and clean.
Absolutely love this. After spending hundreds of pounds on steam cleaners for our hard floors and handles continually breaking off. It’s so good to have a heavy duty cleaner that really does the job. Just make sure you order an extra bottle of liquid cleaner, as the 30ml one that comes with it only lasts for about 10 cleans.
The first time I used it I could not believe how dirty my kitchen floor was.
It’s the best thing ever, it’s quick and efficient.
( Don’t understand thickness in star’s )
Very pleased with this item would like a fresher smelling deterge
This mop takes the hard work out of mopping. No mess; no back ache; no streaks; it really does what it says on the tin. We have noticed a big difference on both wood, tiles and laminate flooring. Very happy with the purchase.
Very disappointed with this product!, a lightweight cheap floor cleaner , I have had experience of other Karcher products iwith no problems that is why we chose this ,all I can say if people are happy with this tool they are easily satisfied
Easy to operate and fun to use . Impressed with performance and ease of cleaning floors efficiently and effectively . I would recommend most strongly
Brilliant, really good. I have polished white floor tiles. Before buying the cleaner, the tiles were polished by hand. The cleaner, cleans and polishes in minutes, it used take an hour..
Handy to use but the small water tanks above the rollers is far to small & needs emptied often whilst washing a larger area
Easy to store. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Reasonable price for a quality produc
Just used it once so far, did a good job and the colour of the water YUK !
Like item needs getting used to connecting rollers but otherwise gives good finish
Excellent quality, I have 2 dogs and this floor cleaner is perfect for keeping the floors clean. I have a large house and did the whole of the downstairs floors with 1 charge and 1 small tank of water. Very easy to use and leaves the floors spotless. Highly recommended
found it easy to use.better than any other cleaner I have had
I bought this to replace another, more complicated, model.
I prefer this simpler, cordless design.
It’s easy to clean, and to fill. Being cordless, it’s very easy to use even for a quick clean up rather than the whole floor (although it happily deals with that too.
A great buy
This floor cleaner was so easy to set up and use. Does a really good job of cleaning all my hard floors and the battery life is long enough to do the whole house.
Ease of use, quiet, not heavy. Takes two minutes to empty water when finished and the rollers I just rinse them off in the sink then wash with washing up liquid. Very quick to use and clean the rollers. Would recommend buying this mop.
It does what it says dry in less than 2 mins. A bit fiddly to start with until you get the hang of dismantling it but is so quick .
I had the FC5 but it stopped charging after a year, so have moved onto the FC3. I honestly don’t believe these floor cleaners are any better than a standard mop and bucket.
It’s easy enough to put together, and is less heavy and bulky than the FC5. It moves forward quite easily making cleaner more simpler. You fill the tank with cold water and some cleaner, and then empty the dirty water tank afterwards. I never have much dirty water in the tank!
Floors are clean, and not too damp so dry quickly, but I don’t notice any large difference from using a manual floor cleaner.
The product is efficient but is quite heavy and cumbersome to use
I hadn’t realised my hard floors were so dirty until we tried the Karcher floor cleaner. Now I wouldn’t be without it, it is great and easy to use and recharge. Great stuff, thank you.
Far better that the corded version, which is much heavier and does not work as well. Highly recommended.
It lightweight and very simple to use; cleans even stubborn marks off the kitchen floor through the rotating action, without needing to scrub. And the floor is dry within a minute. The reason I gave a 4 and not a 5 is that it takes quite a long time to charge after it’s run down but if you’re only washing the floor once a day or at either end of the day then this wouldn’t matter.
Great for a quick clean up from kids and pets spillages.
It definitely cleaned the laminate flooring but I had to go back with clean mop to get rid of streaks .
A very good floor cleaner. once assembled. The floor dries very quickly. A bit of a hassle to clean the rollers afterwards which is why I only give it four star rating
This is a godsend to anyone who doesnt like washing floors with a mop and bucket. It is easy to use and more importantly it doesnt leave the floor wet for ages. It gets into all the corners. My only criticism would be the water tank could do with being a bit larger. Another great product from Karcher. Thankyou
Want sure how well this would clean but it seems to do a good job. Like that it only uses clean water.
Bought this product for my mum, as she was finding cleaning her floors hard work. Feedback from mum is Best Buy eve
It’s just what I wanted i can use it , thank you
I have a white kitchen floor, before finding this cleaner I was considering getting a new floor as it was too difficult to keep clean. The karcher gives a deep clean every time with very little effort. Would definitely recommend.
Like the cleaner save me lifting and wringing a mop due to joint problems
Best thing I’ve ever bought. So easy to use and do effectivep
Bought this to keep our laminate flooring clean in all (4 plus hallway) our downstairs rooms. It is superb. Easy to use, simple to clean and does a tip top job on the laminate floors. The rollers are easy to get off and you just pop them in the washing machine to clean them. All-in-all very pleased with the Karcher hard floor cleaner.
Brilliant piece of kit. Easy to use and powerful too.
I use to clean my hardwood floors and it’s brilliant!
Edge to edge cleaning. Not lightweight but has a durable feel.
Works well on every day dirt on floor but sadly doesn’t like the more stubborn stains, scrub by hand
The best for cleaning hard floors. Minimal smears. Easy to use
Fantastic to use, lightweight, leaves a good finish and much easier than a mop and bucket.
Great for hard floors. Easy to set up and use.
Not perfect but it’s for flat so adequate. Need to vacuum the floors after.
Really brilliant n most importantly
Simple to yse as im disabled n got 3 dogs
Expensive but great floor cleane
Love, love, love. As with Karcher products it is light, easy to use and completely self explanatory. Love the two little free gifts. Easy to take apart and clean.
This is the second one I have bought for our property in Spain which is all tiled floors .. brilliant machine and so much better than steam mops
What an excellent solution this is to my floor cleaning. Considerable improvement on my old steam cleaner and on its first run really picked up a lot of noticeable dirt.
After the first run it is quick and easy to keep on top of a floor that up to now has been a lot of effort to clean.
Tried a number of methods of cleaning wood and ceramic floors, this is the bes
This thing is really good to use cleans my floor Brilliantly no problem with it at all
GreT manchineel, easy to use f dad I’d think it steam cleaned .
So this wireless cleaner is fantastic at what it chooses to do. Essentially, its a motorised mop, cleaning up the spills, smudges and blots that mar your hard-flooring. And at that, lets not beat around the bush, it excels.
Putting it together is fairly straightforward. The instructions were a bit pictorial for my liking, but it still didn’t take more than twenty minutes. Of note, the water tank is removable, as are the cleaning rollers. The unit sits on a charging mount, with the rollers removed.
The tank is sturdy plastic, and seems to hold a litre or so of water. Enough, in any event, to do three or four rooms worth of laminate and tiled floors. The rollers are modular, so if one were to break, you could probably replace them easily enough. They slot on to the handle once it’s off the charging mount, taking a second or two. After a few months of use, they’re still holding up alright.
The handle is sturdy and an ergonomic fit to the hand. It would be nice if it were lighter, but with the motor, it’s enough to move the unit around with one hand. The motor is powerful and drives the unit forward from the hand, with very little effort needed to clean a room.
From an effectiveness point of view, its much faster than a manual clean or a steamer. The water is cold, though, so you do miss a bit of lift for stubborn stains. However, overall, this gives a great clean to hard flooring, with very little effort from the user. Cracking engineering, very effective
On boat and have a lot of wooden flooring. This does the job really quickly and is also easy to store.
This floor cleaner works very well at keeping wooden floors and slate, laminate etc looking pristine. Although when fully charged it only lasts twenty minutes, the rollers provide a lot of vigorous scrubbing and diverts the dirty water back into the container provided with the other container providing the clean water. It’s very light to use and the only downside is the four hour charge it needs when the battery is exhausted. It’s easy to assemble out of the box and easy to store being all slimline.
When we got this I wanted to wait to give it a good testing. My son had a birthday party with about two hundred of his mates at the house (yes I must have been mad lol ). Anyway the next morning when I looked at the floor I knew exactly what I was going to use to clean it.
I swept the room first filled up and gave it a try. Well after doing a patch I went looking for my partner to let him see how fab MY KARCHER was. The rollers pulls the mop forward and it cleans really well. After cleaning the main room that the kids destroyed I emptied the water tank which was filthy.i then proceeded to clean my sons bedroom, kitchen and two toilets.
I have this awful knack for leaving floors soaking wet after moping them. I could never squeeze out the mop enough. Delighted to say the floors dry so much quicker now.
This mop makes my life so much easier. In fact I think I mop my floors even more than I previously did.
In all honestly this is a brilliant mop.
It charges pretty quickly and I absolutely love that it’s cordless. So much better than carrying a mop and bucket around the house
This is easy to assemble. It comes in two parts for ease of packaging and the handle clips on the top and fixes with a sharp click. The on/off switch is on the end of the handle, where you hold it, so it is within easy reach. There’s a stand supplied with it, which allows it to be stored upright, making it very convenient to store in a corner or a cupboard. The stand also contains round projections which are used to store the rollers upright to dry between uses.
It is not used for picking up dust/debris, so the floor needs to be cleaned prior to using, by vacuuming or brushing.
The floor cleaner works very well, producing a good result on the floors. It is comfortable to use. The rollers are also very easy to remove and clean after use.
There is also a dirty water tank above the rollers. The dirty water tank stores the water that has come off the rollers during the cleaning process. Neither of the water tanks are very big but not much water is needed to clean the floor.
There are three LEDs to indicate charging, when they are all on, it’s fully charged. The rechargeable battery will last for 20 minutes on one charge, which should give you enough time to do the floors. Charging time for a fully empty battery is 4 hours.
It is supplied with two small bottles, one of detergent and one of defoamer, which stops it foaming up too much.
There is an extensive manual supplied (274 pages), of which only 8 pages are relevant, as the rest are different languages.
This seems to be a well designed efficient machine, ideal for cleaning hard floors. It is not for use on carpets.
This cleaner is very easy to use, and is very impressive. I have laminate flooring in the living room/lounge, lino in the kitchen, and tiles in the dining area.
The Karcher is more than a match for all of these surfaces, and leaves the floors very clean and streak-free.
It is nice and compact, charges efficiently, is easy to clean and easy to store away. All in all, a very impressive piece of equipment.
Very highly recommended!
Now Karcher has released this little number – the same but slimmer and cordless. What can I say? I love it. The FC5 was limited by the cable (cables are so last century), but this one does the same thing without having to juggle a cord – perfect!
The battery lasts around 20 minutes, which is for me just enough, and anyway I would need a break if it lasted longer tbh…
This slim number can also be stored easily and does not take much room. Agreed Karcher sell their wares at a premium, but for a reason.
Perfect tool to have!
Packaged really well with a quick start guide, put together in seconds! Just a matter of attaching the handle, parking into the parking station and plugging in to charge. Left it on overnight but I think it would be charged in a couple of hours.
The battery is supposed to last for 20 minutes, it took me 10 minutes to clean two utility rooms and a fair sized kitchen and the battery still showed fully charged!
The ease of using the unit is to be applauded, so lightweight and it has a motor that automatically carries it slowly forward which is totally brilliant! So easy to use. Filled water tank with cold (can use luke warm) water, one capful of detergent and we’re off.
We have recently had a new kitchen and new tiled floor, I have been mopping the floor with a spray mop and, to be honest, has made a pretty good job of it.
But this cleaner is in another league entirely.
Before using the cleaner I vacuumed the floor to get rid of any grit, dust etc then used the cleaner, I was pretty confident that the floor was cleanish – but see the pic of the dirty water in my kitchen bowl! Wow! (In my defence I do have two large Goldendoodles with muddy paws!)
The floor was fairly wet and took 15/20 minutes to dry completely but it may well be less than that in future as I think I did go over and over the same places more than once – not necessary – my technique will improve!
When finished (only took 8 minutes) I emptied the dirty water, rinsed out the dirty water tank then washed the rollers (colour coded so you know which goes where) but it is possible to put the rollers into the washing machine, how good is that! Emptied the clean water tank (not much left) machine parked and all ready for next clean.
How clever to have two water tanks which means only clean water gets dispensed onto your floor!
No surprises here and five stars all the way for this floor cleaner, we have always been Karcher fans, we also have the window cleaner and a pressure washer which are also great.
This is very easy to assemble – in fact all you do is bend the top into place and press down – no dangling components or screws! Simply put this onto charge and load the water container and add a little cleaner and away you go. You can get about 23 minutes continuous use but you might need to reload with water in that period.
This is not a replacement for a vacuum cleaner, but more a replacement for a mop and bucket – and it is very good at mopping and drying your wooden or vinyl floors. This is definitely an extra that you buy for solid floors, but frankly it is very effective, although a little excessive.
Floors are really washed and dried in about 2 minutes and the rollers are very efficient indeed – however they will not pick up that which you need a vacuum for. You need to empty all water after use or it leaks out into the stand.
So in conclusion, this is an extra for a solid floor, a fairly expensive extra, but also a very good one that is efficient at what it does. You will need to factor in the cost of the cleaning fluid, and periodically the roller pads too.
