Kärcher 1.198-300.0 WD 1 Compact Battery

I’ve had the WD1 for a few weeks, I’ve used it as a wet vac and dry both are very good. I was concerned it would t have enough suction for the car floor mats, but it does a great job despite it being battery powered. Its battery life is short, and the extra battery is expensive but for the quick jobs it’s fantastic.

I bought this last year for £56.99. How is this vacuum so expensive now?

Given to me as a gift. Pleased with cleaning results. Battery does not seem to last as long as instructions suggest though.

Have quite a few Karcher products and overall been pleased with them - unfortunately this is the exception. Totally useless, low suction (and clogs up easily), slow charging, no indication that its actual charging or plugged in, very short run time Expensive and wasteful battery design. The body clips are very weak, the designer tried to fix with elastic bands to hold the thing together - yes really! If you want to design a useful wet and dry vacuum this is not how to do it, the design was probably given to someone as a 1st year tech college project, and they failed the course. Ok it's not the most expensive vacuum cleaner in the world, but still a total waste buying if it doesn't do the job.

Works brilliant. Bought it for my caravan but it's handy around the house to do the stairs etc and any small areas. Battery does well too.
