About this product
The Karcher WD 5 Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner is built for the jobs your indoor vacuum can't handle. It's designed for cleaning around the car, garage and garden, and it switches between wet and dry pickup without you having to change filters or empty the tank. The 1100w motor works with a 25l impact-resistant container to tackle everything from fine dust to heavy rubble and liquid spills.
The filter cleaning system is clever because it clears dirt from the filter at the touch of a button, so you get suction power back without taking anything apart. It weighs 9.6kg and comes with a 2.2m hose, 5m power cord, crevice nozzle, and a combination floor nozzle that adjusts for different surfaces. The adjustable floorhead works on most types of flooring, and it uses disposable dustbags with one included. It runs at 71 decibels, which is quieter than most standard vacuums, and the plastic extension tubes give you extra reach for awkward spots.

Great tool
Great machine with good capacity it has great suction and coped with all sorts of debris from shed and patio I would recommend the bags as it makes it easy to empty and keeps the large filter from getting too dusty

Great multi purpose vacuum
This is a powerful vacuum and easily clears building dust and patio debris. Also lifts water very well. I’ve given four stars as the hose and attachments are quite flimsy. The unit itself will last but I imagine the hose will be split within 12-18 months.

Poor material quality
The suction power is good, but the build quality is poor. After just one month of use, the suction tube developed a crack. The suction tube material seems to be of low quality.

Great piece of kit
Bought this a while back and have used several times. Powerful and effective, not had to change a bag yet. Plenty of accessories, easy to use, is a big unit, compliments the garage equipment line up.

Good
Missis say it bit heavy but sucking like a pro vacum
Wowusser
Amazing vacuum.
Simply the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. Really strong suction. I’m seriously considering using this as my indoor vacuum instead of my Dyson.

Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Karcher WD 5 Corded Bagged Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner: This is primarily a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, designed for tougher jobs like:
Workshop floors
Garages
Outdoor areas
Sucking up debris, dust, and liquid spills
It can be used on carpets, but it’s not specifically designed for household carpet cleaning like a regular upright or cylinder vacuum cleaner would be.
Key points:
It will pick up dry dirt and dust from carpets just fine.
It doesn’t have a motorised brush head, so it won’t be as effective at deep-cleaning carpets compared to a carpet vacuum.
It’s better suited for utility areas, car interiors, hard floors, and more heavy-duty clean-ups.
If you need a vacuum primarily for carpets, a dedicated domestic vacuum might be a better option. But for occasional carpet cleaning, the WD 5 can do the job.
Thank you for using Q&A.
