Cylinder vacuum Kärcher 1.198-300.0

The Kärcher 1.198-300.0 is a cordless multi-purpose cylinder vacuum designed for flexible, mobile cleaning. Powered by an 18 V Battery Power battery (battery not included), the WD 1 Compact Battery model offers 10–20 minutes of runtime depending on the battery used. It features a robust 7-litre plastic container and a cartridge filter that allows convenient vacuuming of both dry and wet dirt without changing the filter. The vacuum combines a compact, lightweight design with practical functions such as a blower mode, an ergonomic carrying handle, Pull & Push locking system and integrated accessory storage.

Advantages

The cordless design provides freedom of movement and use without mains connection, while the compact and lightweight construction simplifies transport and handling. A flow-optimised suction hose and specialised accessories — including crevice and upholstery nozzles — improve dirt pick-up, especially when cleaning car interiors. The flexible rubber band secures the hose in place. Compatibility with the 18 V battery platform enables use of batteries from other 18 V Battery Power devices.

• Quick dry cleaning in cars and small spaces

How to use

Insert a compatible 18 V Battery Power battery into the vacuum according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Attach the required nozzle (crevice or upholstery) and secure the suction hose with the flexible rubber band if needed. Switch on the device and vacuum dry or wet dirt; the cartridge filter allows cleaning without filter changes for most tasks. Use the blower function for blowing out debris where appropriate. After use, turn off the vacuum, remove the battery, empty the 7 L container and store accessories in the integrated storage compartment.

Recommendations

Use only approved 18 V Battery Power batteries and follow safety instructions from the manufacturer. For longer cleaning sessions, use a fully charged battery or alternative compatible batteries. Empty the container regularly and rinse the cartridge filter when allowed by the manufacturer to maintain suction performance.
