Why don't you have a Karcher?

[vacuumdevil]

I don't understand why kärcher doesn't make its way into more collectors hands?
They are widely available in the United States and often sell refurbished ones and a steep discount on there eBay store. On top of it these little canisters are making are fantastic. I will definitely be getting more Karcher products in the future. Here is what I picked up for $62. USD

I

Have a karcher 110v pressure washer. I've had it 3 years and it works great. The market is saturated with shop vacs. I have a milwaukee battery powered shop vacuum cleaner for my car. I do think their niche is more commercial quality products.
I like karcher but there not who I think of when I think of vacuums.

I had a Karcher pressure washer in 2004. Electric. It overheated and caught fire. Never had another Karcher product again.

Mostly all of what Karcher makes is rebadged "free use" molds. They are a power tool company and not a vacuum company, so what vacuums they do have are strictly limited to mainly shop vacs and floor washers.

I like the Karcher tub vac shown in the video below…it’s got neat clickable attachments and controls on the hose handle. We need to see more diversity in traditional bagged cleaners here in North America. Wish they would bring back more European and Japanese canisters to our continent!

So I first posted about my Karcher purchase back in 2017...

It's still works like new, and I beat the hell out of that thing...

Highly recommend them for regular home clean up use....

There's that new direct air upright I'd love to get someday. As far as wet dry vacs go, I'll admit that yellow color isn't my favorite looks wise. But there's a few Stihl models that I'm interested in, also a German company.

@danorob1 Hey that's great to see the old version of this machine!

Even more intriguing are the different squeegee options you got with yours for the floor tool.

Thanks for sharing your post from 5 years ago. I remember when vacuum land was a little bit more active back then.

Wait

Vacuumland was more active back then? I demand proof you can't just go throwing out false accusations.
