When carrying out any kind of renovation work, there's usually a room you use as your workspace for the rest of the home.
This room can end up with sawdust across the floor, mixed in with plaster dust where bags have been damaged during storage – and even nuts, bolts, screws and bits of plastic cut from caulking nozzles.
And when it comes to clearing this room ready for decoration, it can be a very heavy duty and time-consuming job, potentially taking hours on your hands and knees picking up DIY bits with a dustpan and brush.
That's where having a wet and dry vacuum cleaner from Kärcher – like the Kärcher WD 3 – will really help. Your Kärcher WD 3 will simply suck everything up in minutes to leave the room totally clear and ready for painting or laying a new floor.
A lightweight vacuum cleaner for easy deployment
One of the great things about the Kärcher WD 3 is how it is not only robust but also incredibly lightweight. This makes it quick and easy to grab from the garage or a cupboard, not to mention the hassle-free storing away afterwards.
The highly versatile WD 3 has a handle on top for carrying, and glides around a room during use. There's no need to make any separate trips back and forth to where you store the WD 3 either, as all the attachments fit onboard the machine.
Incredible suction power for all your DIY mess
Despite its compact size, the Kärcher WD 3 packs a punch. It has a 1,000 watt motor that can generate 200 air watts of suction power, plenty for sucking up the most heavy duty of DIY mess. There's two metres of hose plus a lengthy four metres of cable – meaning there's no need for extension leads.

Blower function to gather up debris
A surprising but handy feature of the Kärcher WD 3 is its blower functionality. This means you can give your tools a good blast to clear out any sawdust from all the grooves and crevices.
And, importantly, you can dislodge stubborn DIY mess from hard to reach places around the room – gathering it all up ready to be vacuumed away.

Quick and easy to empty once the job is complete
The Kärcher WD 3 is easy to empty and clean out once you've finished the task.
Simply lift the head off the main body by releasing its side clips. Unclip the hose, lift up and empty.
The 17 litre plastic container gives you loads of capacity for all sorts of DIY waste, from bits of rubble, to glass or small offcuts of wood. It'll also pick up wet waste without needing to change the filter. Everything is designed for dual purpose. And that’s one less thing to worry about – saving you time and effort on all your building and DIY projects.
