Karcher SE 3 Compact (1.081-530.0)

The household cleaning vacuum cleaner from the well-known German manufacturer Karcher primarily stands out for its compact size, as indicated by the "Compact" suffix in its name. It features an original design, doesn't take up much space, and its construction is designed for ease of use: the flat top panel can serve as a place for napkins, sponges, and other small items, while special holders for the hose and power cord are placed on the sides.

The vacuum cleaner weighs more than 4 kg and is equipped with a carrying handle. Its main purpose is to remove dirt from textile surfaces, such as upholstery, runners, and small carpets. Besides that, it is capable of simultaneously collecting dry debris and liquids spilled on the floor. The working principle of the device is as follows: it first sprays water with a cleaning agent onto the surface, then vacuums up the dirty water with debris.

Thanks to its high suction power, the Karcher SE 3 Compact leaves only residual moisture behind, and the surfaces dry fairly quickly. It is equipped with two separate tanks: one with a capacity of 1.7 liters for clean water and another of 2.9 liters for dirty water. Notably, the dust collector is easily cleaned without hands contacting the dirt. At the end of cleaning, the apparatus itself is cleaned using a rinsing function. This helps eliminate residual dirt and prevent bacteria growth and unpleasant odors. The model's package includes a cleaning nozzle for soft furniture, a crevice nozzle for hard-to-reach places, and a concentrated cleaning agent for cleaning carpets and soft furniture. The vacuum cleaner operates from the mains and uses a 3.6-meter-long cord for connection.
