Drum vacuum Kärcher WD 3-18 S

The Kärcher WD 3-18 S battery wet and dry drum vacuum provides cordless cleaning on the 18 V Kärcher Battery Power platform. Designed for both wet and dry dirt, it features a 17‑litre stainless steel container, a single‑part cartridge filter and a fleece filter bag. The compact unit includes a 2 m suction hose with clip‑on floor nozzle, an ergonomic handle, secure hose storage on the device head and a Pull & Push locking system for easy opening and closing of the container. Additional features include a blower function, a tool storage shelf, a rotary on/off switch and a parking position on the bumper for convenient interim storage of tubes and nozzle.

Advantages

The single‑part cartridge filter supports both wet and dry use without needing filter replacement, and the robust stainless steel container resists shocks. Practical accessory storage and a compact design enable space‑saving transport and storage, while the blower function expands use where suction is not possible.
