Hi, im about to buy a wet and dry vac, Karcher 1600watt is £200, seems a good price and the make is good, anyone think this is a bad buy and if so what you recommend, cheers.

I use the same nilfisk vac , has high suction rating for its power.

Ideal for domestics .

Ditto- DO NOT BUY KARCHER DOMESTIC PRODUCTS!!!!!!!

I bought that Karcher vac, ended up taking it back as being not fit for purpose. It was pathetic! couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding! Very poor design & quality. Bought a Nilfisk for less money which blew the pants off it in EVERY respect! Nilfisk pressure washers are also far superior to Karcher.

Dont buy a karcher, get a numatic, they are the most reliable vacuums i've found by a mile and I have been through many in the last ten years. When the motors do decide to pack in they are a lot easier to source and fit.

I was shocked by the poor quality & performance of Karcher. Someone was telling me that it all went tits up when they moved to cheap Chinese production, basically, now you're just getting the equivalent of an Argos own make but paying for the name.
