Drum vacuum Kärcher WD 3 P V-17/4/20

The Kärcher WD 3 P V-17/4/20 drum vacuum is a compact wet and dry cleaner designed for efficient home use. With a nominal maximum input power of 2100 W and an energy-efficient operating mode at 1000 W, this model combines strong suction performance and practical features. The vacuum uses a robust 17 L plastic container and a single-piece cartridge filter that allows switching between wet and dry cleaning without changing filters. It includes a 2 m suction hose, Clips floor nozzle, 4 m power cable and an integrated power outlet with automatic on/off switch for connecting power tools.

Advantages

The vacuum delivers versatile cleaning for fine and coarse dirt, wet spills and dry debris thanks to matched suction hose and floor nozzle design. The single-piece cartridge filter simplifies use by eliminating the need to replace filters when switching between wet and dry tasks. An integrated power outlet with automatic activation provides direct suction of waste produced by connected power tools. Compact dimensions, practical hose and cable storage, and the Pull & Push locking system for the container further improve ease of use.

How to use

Use the single-piece cartridge filter as supplied to switch between wet and dry cleaning without additional filter changes. Empty the 17 L container when it reaches capacity, and open/close the container using the Pull & Push locking system. Store the hose on the machine head and wind the power cable on the cable hook after use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate nozzles for different floor types and avoid suctioning large sharp objects that could damage the hose. For wet vacuuming, check that the cartridge filter is properly seated. Regularly empty the container and rinse or replace the fleece filter bag as needed to maintain suction performance. When working with power tools, ensure the connected tool and the vacuum are rated for the same supply and follow safety instructions for both devices.
