Was absolutely amazed by the sucking power of this! Purchased to remove the puddles left behind when we empty the hot tub. Saved me ages in the hot tub, trousers rolled up, using an old Christmas pudding tub to remove the last of the water on the seats. Chose the anniversary edition because it happened to be our 1st wedding anniversary and we like shiny silver! Definitely recommend it if you have a hot tub!
I bought this to help me remove the last pools of water remaining in my above ground pool. It has tackled it like a breeze. Yes, it fills up quite quickly, but the hours saved trying to do it by hand with a sponge and bucket makes it no issue for me. Incredibly and with its different functionality I’m sure it’ll be handy for other chores as well. TIP: if you can’t find the attachments on opening the box, they are inside the unit – Doh I thought they were missing!

I ordered this for an outside job I needed done straight away. I was not disappointed. It had great suction and anything that could fit, got sucked up and into the chamber, including fairly large pieces of cement. I had it running, almost continuously for 30 to 45 minutes and it didn’t overheat. I also love how there are so many places to put the different attachments on the body. I’ve only had it for one day so, hopefully it keeps performing for a long time.

Worked well to hoover up debris and remaining water at bottom of large pool of water. Would have liked the power cord to be slightly longer but overall looks like it’s well put together and didn’t topple over or have any strange quirks when moving it.
I did experience an annoying issue with the float protection that kept activating after using it for a while. I suspect that’s because the cartridge gets so wet the suction reduces and it thinks the water level has risen too high. After a bit of use I worked out that when you hear it start to change pitch you can remove the hose from the water and suck some air through which seems to dry out the filter enough to improve the suction again.
This probably won’t be an issue in normal use though as I was hoovering a lot more water than it’s probably intended to cope with – in the end I emptied 15 or so buckets full of water!

This is a great, durable and powerful vacuum cleaner. I have 3 of these for my businesses. I find that they provide powerful suction and have never had any issues.
I run 3 nail salons, so vacuum dust and dirt everyday. These are great machines at an affordable price.
Only minus would be the length of cable. If it can be longer, it be perfect.

This is a great vacuum but it needs improving. It’s not as steady on its roller feet as a Henry. It easily falls over when you pull it. The electric cord is far too short. Also, when it does fall over (which is quite a lot) the vacuum seems to have a moment. In other words, you have to switch it off, remove the top part of the vacuum where the engine is and reattach it. Other than these really annoying things, it is actually a very good vacuum and for the price also. Karcher still make very good quality products but could do with a little improvement

I really wasn’t sure whether to buy this. Was put off by reviews I had read that said it was cheaply made and all plastic. I’ve used the machine now for all kinds of jobs inside and out. It’s the only vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had that seamlessly lifts dog hair from every surface. The suction is incredible. I have put this machine through its paces and it’s made short work of cleaning my car, my house and sofa. Even hoovered the mud off the bottom of some very muddy trainers. Couldn’t believe what it picked up. Yes it’s made of plastic but it is sturdy. It’s so lightweight and it hasn’t toppled over once and I’ve cleaned everything in sight. The filter was very clogged with pet hair (all the stuff my other hoovers struggled to pick up) by the time I had finished and it did not lose any suction power. I’m chuffed with this purchase and it puts my Sebo and Dyson to shame. My one gripe is that the power cable is ridiculously short making an extension cable essential.

I bought a WD3 vacuum cleaner in February 2024. Used at home, dry vacuuming only. Yesterday, while using the vacuum cleaner, thick white smoke came out. The electric motor probably burned out. Does the warranty cover this type of damage?

Really good value and powerful. Only downside it doesn’t contain as many attachments as others and if reqd the ‘wet’ filter needs to purchased separately (£5 ish on Amazon) and electrical lead could be longer but using a short extension lead when reqd is no problem. Very pleased
