Bought in the sale. Wouldn’t want to pay full price. I use it on my artificial grass. Similar to a Henry hoover. However it does tip over a lot. It’s powerfull and easy to clean out. Not perfect but cheap enough and does the job

Very powerful, and seems fairly robust so far, pretty impressed. Can’t rate its longevity yet though as not had it long enough.

It does an excellent job, however you do have to empty it quite often as it compacity is not large.
In the box is also various attachments for the pipe.

Bought this to tidy up our artificial lawn, pick up dead leaves, windswept debris etc. Sadly, it is not very stable and topples over quite easily. The leaflet mentions being able to ‘blow’ too, but could not find any instructions for this. We used in on a dry day, debris and leaves were dry but it clogged up and with hindsight, think we would have done just as well with our old Dyson.

Very impressed by power of this vac for it’s compact size. I’ve not used it for any wet applications, but for general dry cleaning it works a treat. The filter bags hold a lot of refuse and are easy to install and remove once you have done it once. The supplied tools and optional accessory tools fit well on to the provided locations and can be easily carried with the unit. Overall this a great product.

I bought this to vacuum the water out of the interior of my old car as the door was damaged and it leaked when it rained. It did this with ease. It’s very lightweight and the filter is easy to clean and dry after use (on wet surfaces) I haven’t used it for normal vacuum cleaning as I have a Henry for that. It is lightweight and has easy storage for the various tools on the body of the vacuum itself. Very pleased as I also had a 30 discount to use so it was very good value.

The Karcher was very effective in picking up my woodshop waste. I did not like the use of the bag and I’ ill probably not use it again. Overall I recommend this vacc as a good workshop vacc

Cheap and cheerful. Its bit loud but not too bad fore use in garage/workshop

Fantastic suctio

We get leaves and stones etc blow under the garage door and into the garage.. brought this to tidy up.. was brillant, suction good and easier than sweeping. Once or twice the vacuum fell over when I went to pull it a bit closer and had to turn it on and back off and a few times some bigger bits did clog the pipe so had to poke down with a screwdriver to unblock. Main was to clear Ash from log fire and clean car which I can see will work fine. Did also buy to use on the slabs at back garden as we seem to get a lot of moss fall from roof onto them and though this will be brillant to once a month to go out and run over the slabs but some of the bits are bigger than the hose end so do tend to clog often. Other than that I’m happy with it and at least saves the indoor shark hoover from the task of the car clean now.

A bit bulky and noisy for use in the home, but ideal for the workshop, garage and car etc.

I bought this as a replacement for my Dyson. im never going back!!! I absolutely LOVE it!! multiple uses, I use it with my power tools.. its lightweight the suction is amazing, all the attachments are fab, the rubber is great for pulling dog hair from carpet etc! just great. bags are easy to use, filter is easy to clean. what more could you want?!

This bit of kit Karcher have struck gold with. Although it has the bags that come with it I never use them as they become soggy when it vacuums water, leaves and debris.

Classic peice of kit!!!

Cracking little hoover for picking up all the big bits and the dirty jobs you don’t want to use your house hoover for!! Wheels are a bit naff, it falls over a lot and doesn’t seem to like it. I had to keep turnimg it off reseting it, and off we’d go again.
Over all, it’s a great priced hoover for all the messy and clunky jobs. It’s doing exactly as I wanted, shame about the wheels though.

It is a lightweight hoover for all manner of rubbish. I have used it in the garden, particularly for keeping my artificial grass free from conifer droppings, and cleaning up after chopping wood in my garage, and valeting the cars. A brilliant piece of kit for not a lot of money. Great suction, tends to fall over if you are not careful when pulling it along, however once you are used to that it is not a problem. Highly recommended like most Karcher products.

Love this suction is top except if the machine falls over ther hoover bag comes off and I have to take the lid off and replace apart from that grea

Very good, easy to manoeuvre but it’s not clear how to fit the bag in the cylinder and its really difficult to push and pull the thing over carpets it clings to them I’m knackered after 5 minutes of vacuuming. But it sucks everything up?

Great for general household, garden, garage and car. I got it 30% of the price (42 listed on Amazon 58) due to minor cosmetic defects but worked beautifully. Thanks Amazon!
Caution: Remember to clean the tubes with water after use in the garden soil to prevent tubes clogging up! I used it to collect debris and small stones from loose pointing on patio. True time and back saver!! Worth every penny. Beware if wet pointing is sucked it may clog up the tubes and may become solid so use for dry pointing debris only.
Good suction and light weight. May topple if pulled or dragged suddenly so try to move it nearer the work area using castors rather than pulling on the cord suddenly. If topples it will switch off due to safety mechanism as complained by a viewer earlier. You can add some compact weight inside the container to provide extra stability.

It does fall over easily. I ended up taking the wheels off. But it does what is says on the tin.

I had a top brand vacuum and it was useless – I bought this after recommended by a fellow parent and it’s amazing. It will suck anything up, wet or dry, lumpy or otherwise. Great for skills, breakages or if your kids are dirty yolks like mine are. Love this and the value is exceptional!

Very good vacuum cleaner suction is fantastic and very light and easy to use. Only slight thing which doesn’t bother my is the noise it makes it is quite load

Immense suction. Bought this for the cars and I have to hold the mats down when doing the foot wells now. Previously used the household Dyson upright and that was pants in comparison. This does the job in a fraction of the time. I bought a few cheap non-Karcher attachments to add on for the jobs. The only negative really is that it’s a bit top heavy and, on my gravel driveway, will topple over sometimes. Theres an automatic shut off for when it does which requires you to power off and on again.
Not tried it on wet yet but will do a wash on the carpets soon and use the Vacuum to draw most of the water out when I do. I’d ignore the neigh sayers, they’ve probably done something wrong.

After researching this product I was not sure whether to go for this version or a more expensive wet dry vac. I really only needed it to help clean a drain of stones and debris. I was not absolutely sure it would do the job but at the price point it was worth taking a punt. I was not disappointed and it managed the job admirably. The extended pipe meant I could easily reach down to the bottom of the deep drain at the back of my house and there was no suction issues collecting all the small stones. A couple of the larger stones did get stuck but I was able to unblock them quickly. Used this together with the Krcher 7.5 m Pipe and Drain Cleaning Kit, a Karcher pressure washer and a couple of drain rods and the job was done.

A great vac, seems to cope well with everything I’ve thrown at it so far, I like its simplicity over more trendy vacs such as Dyson etc, the stuff I’ve used this for would block a normal vac in no time flat.
I haven’t tried the wet function yet so can’t comment on that.

I originally purchased this to vacuum my car carpet after washing it etc.

Do NOT buy this to vacuum your home. You will be disappointed.

It doesn’t hold a lot of water so I would not recommend it for industrial use.

It is good for sucking up spills, if you steam clean kitchen/bathroom floors use this after to suck up excess water.

I have used it to unblock outdoor drains of leaves etc.

The filter is rubbish and falls apart like wet cardboard hence 4 stars.

Overall I have put this wet vac through it’s paces and it is still working as new ( I am surprised)

People complaining about the suction etc, if you want an industrial wet vac this is not the product for you. This is for very light work hence the price ( you pay for what you get )

Overall for light work this is a very good wet vac

Used it to vacuum my car once.

That one time I did use it it was great and it picked up the dirt in my car with ease.
Even tried it out on a wet spill which it worked very well on.
Two attachments which was perfect enough for my use and the suction cable had good reach.
Would have loved it to have a longer power cable but my roll up extension cable sorted that out.

But alas… I stored it in my shed and that was the end of it.

Some cretin probably a junkie looking for a quick fix, decided to relieve me of my beloved vacuum I started to call my Minion. Broke my shed lock in the process, must have seen it through the window. It’s bright yellow and I guess you cannot miss it.

Too traumatised to get another one to replace it immediately, maybe later but it definitively will not be going in the shed.

Was fun while it lasted.

I’ve only had this for a couple of hours but it’s exceeded my expectations by far.

My flat’s got the most stubborn, claw-like carpet in the history of Victorian housing and NOTHING would get crumbs, wood chips, or other small hard pieces of debris out because they’d stick in there like velcro. One run with this vac and the carpet’s clean. Makes me feel like I was living in a swamp.

The “instruction manual” is phenomenally useless though. When you get it, lift the flaps on the side to take out the wheels which are inside the vac. Attach them to the bottom, then attach the hose to the vac and one of the pipes to the hose. Then either attach the floor attachment (and its brush insert) or the crevice tool to the pipe. If you’re using it on dry surfaces then make sure you affix the bag inside the vac. (& vice versa, if you’re sucking up liquids then take the bag out!) Insertion is a bit finicky and requires folding it so that it fits in at the edge of the vac, leaving room for the filter. But the whole thing from unpackaging took me less than 5 mins.

Re the reviews saying this topples over too easily, I haven’t found that to be the case unless you’re pulling it from the direction opposite where the hose is coming out from (i.e. you’re pulling it backwards.)

I don’t know what to say about the reviews saying it leaks as I haven’t used the wet vac feature yet. I may update this review later down the line if needed.

I bought i von haus hoover it was no good .blew air out instead of sucking it up.it was like trying to hoover up with a hairdryer.lol.this how ever is so powerful and i am pleased to inform everyone .as good as my old pet Dyson if not better plus if you smash your pint of beer this bad boy drinks it with the glass.i would recommend this to all.

This is a wonderful appliance that I note has had poor reviews from some. I agree it has its issues, the ones that I note are that it tips over easily–so go easy with it and not like a bull at a gate–and that the head detaches too easily, i.e. is press-fit and doesn’t latch into place. HOWEVER, the upsides are huge and I am not sure how anyone can expect more from an appliance at this price band. I bought mine first for around 80 (this is the second…just bought a new one) and was so impressed by it that I have bought the second.

I love that it has the multi-functional base, that can be used wet or dry, with a vast container that I use for many other things besides vacuuming! I detach it regularly and use it as a mopping bucket, and the fact it’s on wheels makes it so easy to move. It literally glides along… so if you have to transport heavy fluids, this base does the job.

The cleaning power on dry dust and debris is fantastic, and I have bought the second specifically for building debris and dust that will soon wreck a standard vacuum cleaner and stop its motor working. I used my first Karcher (same as this) on all manner of debris for years and never had an issue, no loss of suction.

I have even used it to clean the gravel drive up. As years go by, the gravel acquires all sorts of general crud and dust, also tiny leaf particles that stop it looking good. I got rid of the weeds and lay a garden sieve down on the dirty gravel areas, sliding it around with the vac head inside the sieve. heck, the muck this deposited in the container was a fine dust I could barely even see, and it left the gravel looking like new. Of course, nothing major could come up into the container because the sieve holes are small enough, but they were equally big enough to stop the gravel being sucked up. I recommend the technique! It’s time consuming but if you are selling your house and have patches of gravel covered in builder’s debris etc, give it a whirl on a nice dry day. The drive will end up looking like the gravel was freshly laid.

I have never used the appliance on wet spills but will give it a whirl as I have acquired an absolutely filthy sofa from ebay, ha… I plan to soak it outside and vac off the residue.

The filter unit in this is easy to clean and lasts a long time. I believe that the key to staying satisfied with most vacuum cleaners is that you look after them. If you use on wrong surfaces and crud up the filters etc, you won’t see them last. But for robustness, longevity and general efficacy I am very pleased with this. I have even considered buying several to have them in stock in case they cease being made. So take poor reviews with a pinch of salt, so to speak, because some users expect the earth and yet they’re paying low and probably expecting more than it’s designed to do.

I think I will weight the base with something too, and see if it stops tipping… if so, that makes it perfect for all sorts of home uses.

Got a cheap on from Amazon warehouse as I was not bothered about a few blemishes or having no retail box.First job clean the car, wire is long enough for me to use with out an extension lead. hose is long enough to clean inside all areas of my estate car. Lots of other jobs around the garage workshop. Cleaned up after a bit of dog brushing with a malting retriever. Not tried it wet yet but guess it will cope with that easy enough. It gives a good suck and what man wouldn’t want that in his workshop 😉
