Specifications:

Pros:

• The Karcher vacuum cleaner is designed to clean carpets of all types, and if the fabric is made of wool or silk, it assures cleaning it without affecting the color of the carpet or wearing it out. The same goes for hard ceramic and marble floors.
• It is available in many attractive and wonderful colors, and you will surely find the color to suit your house’s decoration.
• The machine works with an internal spray to clean rugs, mattresses and all fabrics made of fibers. The spray cleans well, as the cleaning substances are well-distributed across the carpet.
• It is equipped with a spray hose and nozzle so that you can clean hard to reach places easily. The attachable parts are easy to change.
• It supports more than one function, including the drying of fabrics and floors.
• It can collect a large quantity of dust and small litter that may reach 4.4 liters, which is a good capacity.
• The vacuum is equipped with a foam filter to ensure an ideal cleaning process.
• It is equipped with steam cleaning feature and can be used to clean all floors or rugs or beds, because the steam helps kill germs and microbes, which is very suitable for those suffering from nasal allergies or chest congestion.
• The cable length can reach up to 7.5 meters, making the vacuum cleaner’s mobility more practical.
• The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a small tank to suck in the small parts, which will prevent clogging.
• It is equipped with a strong shock absorption system in case it is dropped or bumped. The most important thing is to modify the motor.

Cons:

• It is heavyweight (7.8 kg). It’s not a great con unless you want to take the vacuum cleaner with you in your travels. 
• The tube is made of raw plastic and can be cut off or damaged with abrupt or violent use.
• Its power is medium and may reach up to 1400 watts, but you should not run it for a long time to avoid overheating and motor combustion. Try to turn off its meter every once in a while — after cleaning each room, for instance.

After-sales Service:

• Maintenance: Karcher provides excellent maintenance. In case of any damage, you can contact the technicians and they will be sure to come to your house.
• Spare Parts: They are not widely distributed because the vacuum is considered the most recent in market, but they are available at the company’s outlet.
• Customer Service: You can contact the customer service to find out the nearest sales outlet or maintenance center through the numbers available by the company.
