Drum vacuum Kärcher SE 3-18 184 W Bagless Wet Cleaning

The SE 3-18 Compact Home spray extraction cleaner performs deep cleaning of textile surfaces down to the fibre without leaving irritating residues, offering cordless freedom when used with an 18 V Kärcher Battery Power battery (battery not included). Designed for versatile use, it cleans upholstery, mattresses, carpets, garden furniture and vehicle interiors with the same effectiveness as a corded spray extraction cleaner while remaining compact and easy to handle. A long flexible suction hose with an integrated detergent hose increases reach and manoeuvrability, and the built-in hygienic system cleaning function removes dirt and bacteria from the device to help prevent unpleasant odours.

Advantages

Compact and cordless operation (battery not included) enables cleaning where no power outlet is available while maintaining the performance of a corded spray extraction cleaner. The bagless drum design simplifies maintenance and emptying. The integrated detergent hose within a long, flexible suction hose improves access to hard-to-reach areas. The hygienic system cleaning function helps keep the device interior free of residues and bacteria, reducing the risk of odours after use.

How to use

Fill the cleaner with the recommended amount of cleaning solution, connect a compatible 18 V Kärcher Battery Power battery if cordless operation is required, and select the spray extraction function. Apply the cleaning solution to the textile surface and extract using the suction nozzle, moving evenly across the area to lift dirt down to the fibre. After cleaning, run the hygienic system cleaning function to remove residues and maintain the internal hygiene of the device. Empty and rinse the bagless drum and clean attachments according to the manufacturer's maintenance instructions.

Recommendations

Use appropriate Kärcher cleaning detergents for textile spray extraction and test on an inconspicuous area before full treatment. Allow textiles to dry completely after cleaning and store the device with the drum and hoses rinsed and dry to preserve performance and prevent odours.
