The Karcher WD5 Vacuum Cleaner is a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, which comes in Karcher's distinctive yellow and black design.

These are deposited in the WD5's durable and spacious 25 litre container, ready for disposal.

One feature of particular note is the innovative filter system. It can be quickly and easily removed from the vacuum cleaner without you having to make contact with dirt, allowing for hygienic emptying. Dirt can be deposited straight into the container. To facilitate a more thorough clean, there's a crevice nozzle which tackles dust and dirt in hard to reach spaces. The WD5 uses fleece bags, rather than paper bags.
