Karcher WD4 Review

The Karcher WD4 Vacuum Cleaner is a powerful 1000W vacuum cleaner with a wet and dry mode, and Karcher's signature yellow and black style. It's a vacuum cleaner designed with the tough jobs in mind - think garage, garden and car. It's capable of vacuuming light dirt, dust, heavy rubble, liquid and much more. The WD4 deposits these items into an internal 20 litre container for later disposal.

One feature of particular interest is the filter. It's designed in such a way that it can be removed from the vacuum cleaner without you having to make contact with the dirt. Therefore, removing the filter is more hygienic. In terms of accessories, there's a crevice nozzle for smaller and more awkward spaces, as well as a long 2.2 metre hose for added flexibility.
