Handy accessories for the Kärcher WD 3 Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner
Cartridge filter (KFI 3310)
The one-piece cartridge filter allows for wet and dry vacuuming without a filter change. It is easy to replace and ensures that the multi-purpose vacuum cleaner works just as well as on the first day.
Pack of 4 fleece filter bags (KFI 357)
For a permanently strong suction performance, the paper filter should be replaced regularly. Thanks to the 4-pack of filter bags, there is always a replacement in the house.
Car nozzle
The special car nozzle makes light work of cleaning the inside of the car. With the wider suction opening, even larger areas can be cleaned in no time.
Extension suction tube
The suction tube extension makes it easy to reach hard-to-reach places such as deep crevices or narrow spaces behind cupboards.
3.5 metre suction hose extension
For a larger operating radius and more freedom of movement, the vacuum cleaner’s suction hose can be easily extended by 3.5 metres with the help of the suction hose extension.
Suction brush set
The practical suction brush set consists of a suction brush with hard bristles for thorough cleaning of upholstered and carpeted surfaces and a brush with soft bristles for sensitive surfaces.

I’m really glad I got it, real life saver during house renovation, I was extremely impressed with how it reduced dust to almost nothing when sanding (I got a cheap adapter to fit it with two different sanders no problem).
I’m a bit cheap so at the start I was emptying the original bag, but it is big and lasts for a long time, so I started buying the bags, it’s not a bad value for money.
After almost a year of heavy use (most of the renovations is done, yay) I decided to replace the filter and will use it as house vacum. For a house vac it is a bit bulky and the power cable is not very long, but I take that over endless frustrations whith poor suction, small capacity or overheating of typical house vacs in that price range.
Bought purposefully for vacuuming my fake grass. Used a normal vacuum but was always worried about electrocuting myself and ruining the vacuum. Holds a large amount before you need to empty.
Used it to suck out rain water from my hot tub. Worked well initially then would only suck up a small amount.
Would definitely recommend as very powerful
This is the best vacuum cleaner so for. Highly recommend!
It’s all good really. Used hoover for inside car. Used blow function to dry patio..cool
Yes it’s made of plastic but it is sturdy. It’s so lightweight and it hasn’t toppled over once and I’ve cleaned everything in sight. The filter was very clogged with pet hair (all the stuff my other hoovers struggled to pick up) by the time I had finished and it did not lose any suction power. I’m chuffed with this purchase and it puts my Sebo and Dyson to shame.
My one gripe is that the power cable is ridiculously short making an extension cable essential.
My reference is Dyson, Bosch and Miele having had all of these in recent years. I bought this as my battery operated Dyson would have been a bit of a struggle when we moved into a newly bit barn conversion full of dust! This little yellow devil is exceptional value for money. It does the job as expected- and better Super strong suction power. Smooth gliding wheels. Long enough cord. If space is not an issue( it stores on the bigger size), you can’t go wrong! Wet, dry, stones, leaves, dust perfect job every time!
This Karcher model is easy to use, great suction, easy to empty, light weight for carrying up stairs and overall good value for money.
That said, it’s lightness has proven it’s weakness as it has tipped over a few times. This brings in a safety feature so you have to switch off and on again to continue.
Great suction power, and it sucks up pretty much anything, building rubble included. Quite a short lead compared to domestic vacuum cleaners though.
It works just as well for vacuuming up debris as well as liquid. this vacuum cleaner also has a blower function which is great for clearing leaves and wood shavings etc.
I think the best feature of this vacuum cleaner is that you can vacuum up wet and dry debris at the same time without having to change the filter. Brilliant.
Inside one large box you receive the following …
** Karcher WD3 wet and dry vacuum cleaner
** Cartridge filter
** Fleece filter bag
** floor and crevice nozzle
** suction hose
** 2 x suction tubes
This vacuum cleaner is bright yellow which would make it very easy to see inside a factory, packed garage or shed. It holds 17 L of wet or dry debris.
Our whole family has found this vacuum cleaner invaluable … my son has his own boxing gym and uses this machine every couple of days to give the floor a good going over. My husband also uses this vacuum cleaner in his very large shed … he’s a bit of a DIY fanatic and there’s always sawdust and shavings to clear from there. I’ve used this machine to vacuum spilt earth, ash from the fire, coal dust and fragments from around our hearth, plus leaves and other bits that have blown on our front and back doorsteps … plenty of use inside and outside of the house.
You can easily get replacement fleece filter bags (KFI 357) from Amazon at the price of 12.49 for four of them and each bag does last for a good while.
The wet and dry cartridge filter can also be replaced and purchased on Amazon for 8.99 each.
The machine itself is priced at 82.07 ( price correct at the time of this review) which in my opinion is a bit of a bargain to such a useful and good quality machine.
Thank you for reading and I hope you found my review helpful.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a vacuum cleaner that is almost as powerful as this. But this has been at the top of the list of being most impressive and useful to me. This has been amazing of my laminate floors. Normally I’d sweep with a broom but there’s only so much back is willing to allow so the vacuum comes in handy. I recently put a bed up and it caused a lot of mess on the floor. What would have taken me ages because of all the wood shavings, took me no time at all. I have yet to use it to clean up water and should hope that time never actually comes. But I have you the blower function and was very impressed. I have a TV stand in the living room that is incredibly hard to move as it’s heavy and would end up scratching the floor. The blower function made it easy to blow the dirt and dust out from underneath so that I was able to clean it up. It is a very good vacuum. It’s very bright. And sturdy. My 4 year old like to lean on it with her tummy and lift her legs up like she’s flying. The one thing I have is storage. It’s quite big and at the moment is just chilling in the hallway until I can find a place for it to go. Other than that it is an amazing vacuum. Very good value for money.
Just moved into a old house which has a few more urgent issues than I expected.
Thus have had to take up some very wide and long floor boards and cut out a rotten timber door frame.
I did have another brand wet & dry machine but gave it away thinking I would not need one for quite some time.
Under the floorboards was vast amount of rubble and dust (parts of the house are over 100 years old) and thus I soon filled up the provided bag.
The instruction leaflet does not seem to give the part number for extra ones so I checked the makers site who also had them in stock – Amazon alas out of stock – SKU: 2.863-314.0 (you may want to check the makers site for other reasons also).
Anyway, I got some more bags and am back in business and plan to also use it in wet mode to clean out the central heating feed and expansion tank which looks terrible.
The machine is easy to assemble, mains lead could have been longer and with the floor tool can suck up bits of rubble.
It’s basically a heavy duty vacuum cleaner, tackling the jobs that your regular vacuum isn’t tough enough to do. So it’s perfect for cleaning up wet and dry mess in garages, workshops, cellars or greenhouses and it doesn’t just suck, it blows too. I can’t wait for autumn to get the Krcher out for some leaf blowing.
You use it just like you would a vacuum cleaner and with floor and crevice nozzles it has the same kind of attachments. There was a lot of dust in the garage and it must have sucked up a couple of kilos of dust into the inner bag (that comes with the cleaner) in just over 10 minutes. I’ve never vacuumed a garage before so it was quite fun to do so and I’m going to do it every couple of months to keep it clean and dust-free.
It has a super-long 4m cable, it moves around really smoothly with the 4 x 360 degree wheels and it’s no noisier than a regular vacuum cleaner. I love how all the attachments are stored on the vacuum cleaner body so it doesn’t take up any more space than it needs to.
It’s a top quality item from Krcher. I’m so pleased I ordered this vacuum cleaner as I’ll get more than one use out of it. It’s pretty good value for money too as it’ll come in really handy for cleaning any mess outside the house.
Krcher Wet & Dry cacuum cleaner WD 3, blower function, power: 1000w, plastic container: 17L, suction hose: 2m, incl. cartridge filter, paper filter, floor and crevice nozzle.
I was hoping I was going to be pleased with the results from this wet and dry vac, as I’ve never tried one before but I have a few Krcher products.
Oviously with the name wet and dry vac I know it’s going to do both, but was suprised that it also had a blowing option available.
That was put to the test with next doors leaves sprawled across the drive.
For the vacuum to work doing both wet and dry at the same time this vacuum is fitted with a cartridge filter.
“This ensures that wet and dry dirt can be sucked up at the same time without having to change the filter.”
I clean and dry the filter if it has been used on wet things because you definitely don’t want it getting smelly.
Its easy to clean the filter under running water to remove any mess and leave to dry for at least 24 hours. Make sure the filter is completely dry before refitting into the vacuum cleaner.
I like that all the extra attachments fit to the hover so they don’t get misplaced.
Only thing I wish the plug cord was longer, as when useing it for cleaning the car I had to use a extention lead so I could take it all the way around.
Also the plastic body of the vac isn’t that thick I would have thought it be a beast.
This vacuum reminds me of “Henry the hoover” with the tub like design on wheels, but actually looks more like a minion.
So far so good
But I will update this review if needed.

The vacuum cleaner just needs the four castors fitting, very easy to do, and it is ready for use. The vacuum cleaner is in strong Krcher yellow plastic and has a 2m long vacuum hose and a 4.1m long mains cable. The vacuum hose can be fitted on the front for vacuuming or on the back for blowing. An optional dust bag is supplied for when the cleaner is used for sucking up dry dusty material, such as sawdust, or similar. The unit is powered by a large on-off switch on the front. I had a similar vacuum cleaner some years ago which spent its life falling over and lying on its side, however, the Krcher is very stable and moves around easily. The unit has plenty of holders for the tools and clips to hold the hose, so the tools are always to hand. It is easy to transport using the large handle and the clips holding the motor to the container are large and easy to open and close. It made short work of sucking up the mess after I’d weeded between the pavers on the driveway and for sucking up the moss balls that fall off the roof onto the decking, always tricky as they crumble and lie in the ridges on the deck boards. We have a number of Krcher items, a window vac, steam cleaner and a pressure washer, all have proven to be excellent quality and do a good job, just like this vacuum cleaner.
In the house, in the garage, from cleaning the car, to cleaning the patio and blowing the leaves this little beauty does it all. Wet, dry, suck it up and blow it, press a button, change the head and away you go.
Oh wow this is a beauty. The suction on any surface is great. It cleaned through the house, in corners, under sofas and the lot. It cleaned the car. It can be used as a wet and dry vac too.
Do take your time reading about all its functions and which bits to use for each job. This is one box I will keep so everything is together for when they re needed. I can’t recommend this enough, it makes you want to clean just to use it. Highly recommended.
This vacuum cleaner will spend its life out in my workshop, with the occasional trip to the back of my van. It’s been used once so far to clean up after some DIY work and it did a fantastic job. Karcher is a well-known brand name for a reason and this vacuum so far hasn’t disappointed.
Price-wise it’s around what I’d expect to pay and I’m happy with the performance.
Very easy to assemble. Comes with a different nozzles, suitable for wet/dry cleaning, which is great.
It has a long cord as well as a long hose so I don’t have to switch between outlets too frequently, It’s also easy to manoeuvre, the wheels are smooth in all directions and don’t get stuck awkwardly, It just follows me.
I am very impressed, the suction power is brilliant. Sold at great price, reputable company, recommended.
