The powerful cleaning vacuum cleaner from the renowned German manufacturer Karcher provides thorough cleaning of various textiles, soft and garden furniture, carpets, and runners. Additionally, thanks to its wireless operation, the vacuum cleaner can perform a deep cleaning in the car's interior and trunk. It comes in a quite compact design and weighs just over 3.5 kg.

The device cleans textile upholstery deep into the pile, removing all dirt. It also efficiently sucks up dirty water, leaving only minimal residual moisture, allowing the surface to dry quickly and without unpleasant odors. Karcher SE 3-18 Compact is equipped with two tanks: a 1.7 L tank for clean water and a 2.9 L aqua filter that collects dirty water and liquid gathered during cleaning.

They are easily removable, refillable, and emptyable. The package includes two nozzles for dry and wet cleaning: a washing nozzle with a cover for upholstery cleaning and a crevice tool for soft furniture and hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, the manufacturer has included a carpet cleaning solution in the package. A convenient feature is self-cleaning: at the end of cleaning, the hose and the device undergo a hygienic wash.

This helps eliminate residues of dirt and prevent the growth of bacteria and the formation of unpleasant odors. The model is cordless and compatible with Karcher Battery Power 18V batteries. With a 5 Ah battery, the autonomous operation time reaches up to 24 minutes. However, please note that neither the battery nor the charger is included in the package — they must be purchased separately.

Mobility and Efficiency

The cordless washing vacuum cleaner from Karcher is a powerful solution for caring for textile surfaces. It handles cleaning upholstery, carpets, and soft coverings, and efficiently collects spilled liquids. With its compact size (41×22.5×26 cm), weight of 3.64 kg, and lack of wires, the device is particularly convenient for cleaning in the car.

The set includes two nozzles — a main one and a crevice one. Both are suitable for spraying liquid and collecting it, making the vacuum cleaner versatile for both wet and dry cleaning. The volume of the tanks (1.7 liters for clean water and 2.9 liters for collecting dirt) is suitable for most household tasks.

Convenient Operation

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a handle for easy carrying and a flexible hose, providing freedom of movement during cleaning. The tanks are easily removed and emptied without contact with dirt. An auto-cleaning function is provided, which helps maintain the cleanliness of the internal containers and eliminate unpleasant odors. To activate it, simply pour in clean water, attach the crevice nozzle, and turn on the device.

All nozzles can be stored directly on the body, simplifying space organization. The top of the device features a place for storing small items — wipes, sponges, and other cleaning accessories.

One of the drawbacks is the absence of a battery in the set. The vacuum cleaner is compatible with Karcher's Battery Power 18V batteries, which are also suitable for other branded equipment, including garden tools. For those who own such batteries and those looking to complement their main vacuum cleaner, the Karcher SE 3-18 Compact is a worthy choice.
