Karcher WD3P Review

The Karcher WD3P Wet and Dry Vacuum is a powerful and efficient wet/dry vacuum cleaner available with Karcher's signature yellow and black design. It's capable of vacuuming light dirt, dust, leaves, nut & bolts, sawdust, car grit, liquids, sludge, gravel, and similar. It can also be connected to some power tools in order to vacuum sawdust shavings as you work. We like the low noise level, running at around 75dB.

The WD3P comes with a number of attachments and accessories. There's a 2 metre long suction hose and two suction tubes so you can stand more upright, which is good for long vacuuming sessions. For more intricate cleaning, there's a floor tool and a crevice tool. For use on power tools (as mentioned above), there's an adaptor and a hose. There's also an internal cartridge filter which can be removed as needed.
