Trommelzuiger Kärcher WD 3-18

The Kärcher WD 3-18 S is a battery-powered drum vacuum designed for wet and dry cleaning. Running on the 18 V Kärcher Battery Power platform, it combines a 17-litre stainless steel container with a 2-metre suction hose and a clip-on floor nozzle to remove wet, fine or coarse dirt quickly. The unit includes a single-part cartridge filter and a fleece filter bag, and features space-saving suction hose storage on the device head. A blower function, tool storage shelf, rotary on/off switch, ergonomic carrying handle and the Pull & Push container locking system complete the equipment. The delivery scope includes an 18 V/5.0 Ah Kärcher Battery Power battery and a battery charger.

Advantages

The battery operation provides freedom of movement and flexibility without a power cord. The 17 L stainless steel container is robust and shock-resistant for demanding use. The combination of cartridge filter and fleece filter bag ensures efficient dirt separation for both wet and dry cleaning. Practical design elements such as hose storage on the device head, a parking position for tubes and floor nozzle, and a blower function increase usability in a variety of cleaning situations.

Empty the container and change or clean filters according to the level of dirt accumulation.

Recommendations

Use the vacuum on hard floors and in workshops for best results; avoid vacuuming hot ash or large sharp objects that could damage the filter or container. Charge the battery fully before first use and follow Kärcher's instructions for battery care to maximize runtime and service life.
