Dust extractor Karcher 1.628-401.0 – dry & wet, 12 L, 1,000 W, 35 mm accessories, 1.8 m hose

The Kärcher 1.628-401.0 dust extractor is a compact wet and dry vacuum designed for everyday cleaning tasks in homes, workshops and cars. With a 12 L container and a 1,000 W motor, it handles liquid spills and dry debris while maintaining efficient suction. A fleece filter captures fine dust particles, and the unit’s lightweight construction and small footprint make it easy to transport and store.

Advantages

The extractor combines wet and dry cleaning in a single device, allowing quick transition between tasks without changing machines. Its 12 litre capacity reduces the need for frequent emptying when cleaning larger areas. The fleece filter improves dust retention and simplifies maintenance. A 2 m power cable and 1.8 m hose provide useful working radius and maneuverability for most household and small workshop jobs. The compact dimensions and 3.6 kg weight support easy handling and compact storage.

How to use

For wet pick-up, ensure the tank is empty before starting and monitor fill level to avoid overfilling. For dry vacuuming use the fleece filter in place; clean or replace the filter as needed following the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Empty the container after use and rinse or dry components that contacted liquids before storage.

Recommendations

Use the unit on stable surfaces and avoid sucking up flammable or hot ashes. When vacuuming fine dust from renovation work, check the fleece filter regularly and perform maintenance to preserve suction performance. Store the extractor in a dry place and ensure all parts are dry before long-term storage.
