1.198-125.0

A small and bright vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning from a well-known and popular cleaning equipment manufacturer — the German company Karcher. One of the main qualities of this model is its economy, as the device consumes only 700 watts of electricity while providing high suction power. Despite the small dust container capacity (only 0.9 liters), the device can become an invaluable assistant even in a large apartment.

With a compact body size and light weight, the Karcher VC 3 vacuum cleaner boasts excellent mobility, enhanced by a long power cord—5 meters. Another important advantage is the cyclonic dust collection system and convenient transparent dust container, which hardly affects suction power when filled. The manufacturer has included a fine filter and equipped the model with three standard nozzles: the main one for cleaning floors and carpets, as well as additional crevice and dust nozzles. The noise level produced by the vacuum cleaner during operation is quite high—76 dB, which is comparable to a busy street, but is a fairly average indicator for such equipment.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Karcher VC 3 vacuum cleaner is highly regarded for its compact size, powerful suction, and low noise level, making it ideal for small apartments. Users appreciate its bagless cyclone system, which is easy to empty and maintain. The vacuum is noted for its energy efficiency with a 700W motor, yet it delivers performance comparable to higher wattage models. It features a transparent dust container, allowing users to easily monitor when it needs emptying. While the build quality is generally praised, some users have reported issues with the durability of certain plastic components over time. The vacuum's short power cord and lack of a suction power regulator are minor drawbacks. Overall, the Karcher VC 3 is considered a great value for its price, offering excellent maneuverability and ease of use.

Everything is great for regular use; with a power of 700W, the suction strength is like that of a 1.5kW vacuum cleaner from another brand. The container is quite spacious, but it's a bit difficult to clean some of its parts. The build quality, plastic, and hoses are excellent.

For this price this is an excellent vacuum cleaner.

We decided to use a vacuum cleaner, since the old one completely stopped collecting cat hair from the deep-pile carpet. It is trash in the apartment along with wood filler. This model was chosen based on price and reviews. Bought from an online store. In fact it turned out to be much more massive than expected. But it's not scary. The garbage is removed instantly, no need to drive the car 100,500 times in one place. It makes a lot of noise, the child is crying, the cat is under the sofa. I think we'll get used to it over time.
Low price for such quality
It makes a lot of noise, the child is afraid (this did not happen with the previous vacuum cleaner)

We ordered a vacuum cleaner directly on the official website. We were pleasantly surprised that the courier not only brought everything to our door, but also unpacked the vacuum cleaner and told us what and how to use it. The machine itself is powerful, sucks like crazy, and is practically silent! It’s extremely convenient to use, vacuum it, empty the tank - and you’re done) The cord is also very long - we’re happy with everything!)
Nice design, low noise
Short cord

The vacuum cleaner is made in the signature colours of Karcher — yellow and black. The model differs in the compact sizes and small weight (4,4 kg). The device can be carried by holding the handle of the dust collector, which is designed to add comfort during operation.

Economical yet efficient

Karcher VC 3 consumes 700 watts per hour, which is comparable to the parameters of many upright vacuum cleaners and guarantees economical energy consumption. At the same time, the cyclone system provides a high level of performance and decent traction regardless of the degree of filling of the transparent dust container, as debris is collected on the sides of the container.

According to users, the model does an excellent job of cleaning any smooth surfaces, cleans carpets well. Only owners of pets should think about purchasing a turbo brush (combined, crevice and furniture nozzles are included with the device).

Quiet, comfortable and practical

The vacuum cleaner is quieter than most competitors in this price segment (76 dB). To clean the air from fine dust, pollen or other particles that can cause allergies, a HEPA filter is provided.

After the end of the cleaning process, the container can be easily removed. To clean it, just press a special latch: the lid opens, and all the debris falls down. Also, the dust collector can be easily disassembled, and all its elements can be washed under running water. The only caveat: the presence of an opening in the upper part of the container through which dust and debris can crumble if handled carelessly.

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a telescopic tube, a cable winding system, special grooves on the body for fixing the hose. The disadvantages of Karcher VC 3 include the small capacity of the container (0.9 liters) and a rather short power cord (5 metres). That is why the model (as well as its sister version with extended configuration Karcher VC 3 Premium) is optimally suited for cleaning in small apartments, where these disadvantages are less critical.
