    Made in Europe
    The Kärcher WD 3 is the superior choice for tough jobs around the home that could damage a standard vacuum. Whether you are clearing up after a plumbing leak, vacuuming DIY debris, or cleaning the garage, the 1000W motor produces 220W of suction power to ensure the mess is cleared the first time. The specialised one-piece cartridge filter protects the motor from fine dust and moisture, while the internal float valve automatically cuts off suction when the 17L tank is full to prevent liquid from reaching the motor. Built with "Stability by Design," the canister prevents tipping, and the blower function gathers scattered debris into one place for easy pickup. Use a filter bag for all dry tasks to keep the suction strong, removing it only when the job involves liquids or debris.
    Cartridge filter
    Top-mounted filter stays dry during liquid recovery; no filter changes needed. One-piece filter design allows for quick installation and removal by turning.
    Engineered for efficiency with an 11.2m total operating radius.
    Accessories are kept secure and within reach for efficient working. Combines an 8m cable, 2.2m hose, and 1m suction tubes for a wide cleaning reach.
    Hose storage on the device head
    Secure and space-saving hose storage for both left- and right-handed users. Intuitive securing mechanisms designed for convenient handling during transport.
    Integrated storage shelf for safely storing tools and small parts like screws.
    Safe, integrated storage on the machine head for small DIY parts and tools.
    Practical blower function for removing dirt where vacuuming is not possible or inefficient.
    The practical blower function helps wherever vacuuming is not possible. Effortless removal of debris and shavings, even from textured surfaces.
    Fleece filter bag
    Extra-durable, triple-layered fleece material for demanding tasks. ‘Steel Ball’ tested to guarantee consistent pickup without motor fatigue.
    Quickly park the handle on the device head for stoppages and interruptions.
    Handle-parking feature for quick stoppages during secondary cleaning tasks.
    60W of suction power providing the portable performance your home kit is missing.
    Clears the heavy-duty mess and liquid spills that would damage indoor cleaners. Ultimate secondary cleaning essential for heavy-duty tasks where power is out of reach.
    Pull & Push locking system for easy opening of the impact-resistant container.
