Great suction and lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is really fantastic, the suction is amazing and the unit itself is quite lightweight. There are "parking spots" for the different attachments and putting it away is quite simple because of them. There is no need to try to coil the hose around the base and "tie it off" like with other wet dry vacs that I have used, there is a spot to simply attach the plastic attachment and it keeps the hose in place. The smaller size is ideal for typical household tasks and the casters work quite well, no spinning or sticking making it simple to move around. The only reason that I gave this unit 3 stars is because the second time I used it, the coiled hose came apart from the plastic end that is used to put the attachments in place for use. I was able to "screw" it back in place and glue it but this should not have been an issue that needed addressing. If I had been unable to fix the issue, the vac would have been virtually useless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great performance for a medium/small shop vac

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been making use of this shop vac in my garage for woodworking, and I've been very pleased with it.
The suction power of the vacuum is very good for this size of a vacuum. I also really like that you get the option of using a vacuum bag to help prolong the life of the filter and to make the exhaust air cleaner.
I also like the curved handle attachment, which makes it more ergonomic for certain tasks, and gives better clearance/placement when hooking up to the dust port on some tools. I like the size because it doesn't take up too much floor space, and, it's light enough that I can hang it from an anchor point on the ceiling to get it off the floor when necessary.
I do wish that the design for connecting the attachments to the hose was a little more robust and easier to operate. I worry the locking tabs are not as durable as I'd like, and some people might have difficulty squeezing the tabs sufficiently to disconnect the attachments.
Finally, the size of the hose end and attachments are 35mm, which is typical for the European market, while the US market typically uses hose ends of 1-1/4" (32mm). This means you have to buy (or 3D print) an adapter to use with many tools sold in the US. It would be nice if Karcher supplied an adapter with the vacuums that are sold to the US market.
Overall, this is a great little vacuum that I expect to use a lot in my shop. Definitely recommend.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this vacuum and it works so well! It rolls and has great suction. Perfect for our garage, shop, & storage room. It’s not too bulky to where it’s hard to store either.

Great compact vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a larger shop vac that is a burden to move around the house. However I used this one for my back patio. It’s great to maneuver with the lift handle, light and had adequate suction for my needs.

Small but good

Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This power vac is small but has very good suction. I would not recommend for big jobs as the filter bag is small and will fill up quickly. I used it to vac dog hair from my sofa and it worked really well. Happy with the performance, easy set up, attachments are plentiful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this vacuum, it came with everything you need to start using it! I love the color so it’s easy to find in garage!
But it works really good, it’s not loud either! An just the right size! Heavy duty cord also!

Excellent dry vac

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent dry vac! I have been needing one for the shop/garage to clean up wood dust as well as detail our vehicles. This is perfect! Has all the attachments you need to get into all of the hard to reach places. It’s also light weight so it’s easy to move around. I wouldn’t definitely recommend this vacuum.
