WD 5 P

Having run through several shopvacs (Bosch, Craftsman, Shop Vac, DeWalt) over the last 20 years, I truly wasn't expecting much. I put it through some paces during a recent skim and paint project. First use was for basic pre-cleaning of the space - handled very well and maneuvered around without issue. When it was time to start sanding, I attached the hose to my sander and went to work. Amazing job!! The dust extractor eliminated so much of the dust. I almost feel like this is a dust extractor that also vacuums vs. the other way around. This machine has so much going for it: incredible suction, ability to perform as a dust extractor, easy access filter (can sub with HEPA grade), several accessory tools - including a crevice tool!, onboard storage, super cord and hose length, good quality, and easy to use. The only downsides for me are: would have been nice to have a brush accessory (I'm being greedy) and the onboard storage slot for the floor head attachment doesn't really work out. The head falls off all the time. In fact, the entire onboard storage could use a little revamp. But, it's easy to overlook for the quality of this machine at this price point.

This Kärcher vacuum cleaner is easily the best I’ve ever purchased. The durability is outstanding—it feels solid and built to last. Despite its powerful performance, the noise level is surprisingly low, making it comfortable to use for longer periods. The suction power is excellent and handles everything from fine dust to heavier debris with ease. It’s also very portable and easy to move around, which makes cleaning much more convenient. The design is smart and practical, and the attachments are versatile and well-made, covering all my cleaning needs. Overall, an exceptional vacuum cleaner that delivers on every level—highly recommended.

Easy to setup and use. Bought it to connect to an Bosch orbital sander for dust collection and it’s working better than I expected. The sander plugs in to the front of the vacuum, so you only need one grounded outlet, and the power supply for both tools syncs well with no issues when you control the switch on the sander there’s a 5 second delay before the vacuum shuts off, which is practical. Basically no dust whatsoever. I wear goggles and a particle mask when sanding with it and feel like I don’t even need to- the suction is that good. Works well on its own with the various attachments. The rollers make it easy to move around and use while you’re working. It’s also very lightweight and I can pick it up with one hand. It also fits easily in a broom closet. Works incredibly well.

Very pleased with this vacuum after one year of regular heavy use. The power this thing has is just fantastic. It's cleaned my car, taken lots of water out of my basement, and a dust control unit for the woodshop. I wish they came up with a better way to pack the hose away, but that would be my one small critique. I ran a shop vac brand unit previously and it gave out after seven years. It was always just....okay at what it did. Really wish I had this a long time ago as it just makes life easier.

Works very well in my hobby woodworking shop. The plug in auto start is a game changer; I used it with a Makita track saw, a Dewalt trim router, a Bosch 5” ROS, and a Wen OSS with no problems. It has more than enough suction for my needs and even at max power is noticeably quieter than my Ridgid wet dry vac. It can get even quieter with the power dialed down - and max power isn’t necessary for quite a few tasks. Very good price for a budget dust extractor.

I am very disappointed with the vacuum cleaner. It was clearly used — there was a lot of dust on it. In addition, the wheels were missing, apparently stolen. This purchase left a very unpleasant impression.

Well thought out vacuum. High quality materials and a well-engineered dust system. Just so much nicer than any of the shop vacs I've ever used before. The extra wheel goes a long way for stability. The 33-ft cable is a godsend. The unit's hose and attachment organization is also convenient and effective.

I have a festool dust extractor. It is too big for travel/installs, great in shop. This Karcher vac is almost perfect for installs. Has plenty of power and light and small enough for travel.
