The progressive Karcher vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter is an effective alternative to classic units. They remove particles of dust and small debris from the room, deeply purify and moisturize the air, freeing it from common household allergens.

The function of the dust collector is performed by a water tank. The collected dust comes into contact with the working fluid, gets wet and settles at the bottom of the water filter. Air passes through a multi-stage filtration system and enters the room absolutely clean, light and fresh.

Next, we will consider some of the best models from this manufacturer, give their technical characteristics and give some tips on choosing vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter.

TOP 8 best models from Karcher

The ranking includes 8 models with an aquafilter, released under the brand name Karcher. They differ from each other in appearance, functionality, equipment, weight and cost.

It is impossible to clearly name the best option. Each vacuum cleaner is relevant for certain cleaning conditions and copes well with its range of tasks.

1st place - KARCHER DS 6

Vacuum cleaner DS 6 from the brand Karcher is significantly different from its classmates. With minimal power consumption, it provides good suction power and does not consume unnecessary resources.

The innovative filtration complex consists of several blocks. This allows you to hold almost 100% of dust particles, leaving the air in the room absolutely clean and very fresh.

The model can be used safely for health and the respiratory system not only in residential premises, but also in rooms where children, allergies or asthmatics live.

The owners of the device speak well of him.Most of all I like the combination of economical energy consumption with high cleaning efficiency.

The vacuum cleaner impeccably processes hard, soft and fleecy floors, cleans textile surfaces, quickly removes dirt and dust in corners, narrow spaces and corridors in one go.

The unit has no technical flaws. Some customers note only the large weight of the module. However, this is not important, because the vacuum cleaner is equipped with maneuverable wheels and moves freely on the floor without turning over during the cleaning process.

2nd place - KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean

An updated version of a household vacuum cleaner for high-quality cleaning of rooms. Flawlessly removes dust particles, specks, small debris, hair and pet hair from surfaces.

The progressive aquafilter installed in the model moisturizes the air in the room and guarantees a high level of purification from irritants. The HEPA 13 filter even retains such an active household allergen as dust mite excrement and does not allow any odors to pass through.

  • weight - 7.5 kg.

Users praise the device and give it high marks. I really like the collection of nozzles and brushes for different types of cleaning, a large suction power and economical energy consumption.

A multi-level filter system perfectly cleans the exhaust air. This makes it possible to use the unit to people suffering from allergies, asthma and chronic pulmonary diseases.

Of the shortcomings, users most often indicate a large weight and large dimensions of the product. Some owners do not like the aquafilter, which needs to be washed after each use.

Sometimes owners complain of too long a network cable, tangled underfoot and interfering with the movement of the vacuum cleaner.

3rd place - KARCHER DS 5.800

The strong, low-noise and maneuverable unit is suitable for cleaning large rooms. Easily copes with intensive operating loads and carefully removes dust particles and other debris from hard and soft surfaces.

The optimal length network cable simplifies the process of processing rooms, is not tangled and allows you to maintain order within a radius of 8.6 m from the outlet.

Detailed specifications

  • energy efficiency - A;
  • power consumption - 900 W;
  • suction hose - 2.1 m;
  • level of working noise - 66 dB;

  • additions - antifoam, power adjustment on the case, automatic winding of the cord;
  • weight - 7.4 kg.

High build quality, good working power with minimal noise effect, a long soft hose that does not break during cleaning - this is not the whole list of positive qualities that most buyers call.

This list also has low power consumption and a stable position on both smooth and fleecy surfaces.

The disadvantages of the device include an unreasonably high price, high weight and the need to wash the aqua tank after each cleaning. Some customers had to deal with the poor performance of cable auto-winding, but this nuance did not become widespread and appeared only in some models.

4th place - KARCHER DS 6.000 Mediclean

The DS 6.000 Mediclean module is considered one of the most successful aquafilter devices from the Karcher brand. It has a durable, shockproof housing made of modern plastic, and high-quality connecting elements.

It is equipped with only the most necessary functions to facilitate and speed up the cleaning process. It qualitatively filters the outgoing air flow and frees it from the unpleasant smell of burning dust.

Detailed specifications

  • energy efficiency - A;
  • power consumption - 900 W;
  • suction hose - 2.1 m;
  • level of working noise - 66 dB;

  • functional - deep cleaning of fleecy surfaces, cleaning of soap and small debris in large empty spaces and in inaccessible places;

  • weight - 7.5 kg.

In this model, customers praise excellent suction draft, low noise effect during operation and a progressive class of energy consumption, providing economical consumption of energy resources.

I like the presence of not only a standard set of nozzles in the kit, but also a progressive turbo brush that increases the efficiency of harvesting events.

The complaints are caused by the large dimensions of the model. The owners say that it is very inconvenient, especially in small rooms with lots of furniture. Many are unhappy with the high cost of branded antifoam, necessary for proper operation.

5th place - KARCHER FC 5

This progressive vertical unit with a long power cord provides dry and wet cleaning. It effectively collects water and processes premises up to 60 sq.m. at one gas station.

Allows in one procedure to combine floor cleaning and dust removal. Uses the minimum amount of water. After cleaning, the floors dry for 2 minutes and shine for a long time.

Detailed specifications

  • energy efficiency - A;
  • power consumption - 460 W;
  • suction hose - no;
  • level of working noise - 70 dB;
  • network cable - 7 m;
  • type and volume of the dust collection tank - 0.2 L aqua block;
  • basic equipment - roller brush 30 centimeters wide, cleaning and parking station;
  • functional - wet cleaning of hard flooring and sanitary areas, dry cleaning of soft and hard surfaces, automatic cleaning of work rollers;
  • add-ons - separate tanks for dirty and clean water, progressive output HEPA filter;
  • weight - 4.6 kg.

Buyers say that the device, despite its external attractiveness and good technical qualities, does not replace the classic vacuum cleaner and, rather, plays the role of a “smart” mop. It performs best during wet cleaning on smooth surfaces.

With intensive cleaning of carpets and rugs can not cope due to the specific design. Only suitable for owners of small to medium sized dwellings with a hard, lint-free floor.

Some users note the severity of the model. This is especially felt during the long cleaning process.I really do not like a too small dust collector that does not allow to process a large area at a time.

The fragile design of the working elements does not cause delight. Cleaning rollers with a slight pressure start to jam, and silicone seals quickly lose their physical properties and come off already in the second month of operation.

Only 63% of buyers agree to recommend this unit to friends and acquaintances.

6th place - KARCHER FC 5 Premium

Karcher is positioning the vertical model as a combine that allows you to simultaneously vacuum and wet-clean.

The device is equipped with special soft rollers. During the cleaning process, they are automatically wetted, while sucking in dirty water, dust particles and small debris from solid wooden, laminated, stone, plastic and tile floors.

The rotating mechanism is clearly configured and provides tight contact with the surface. The unit does not leave puddles or drops, and the floor dries up 2 minutes after processing.

Detailed specifications

  • energy efficiency - A;
  • power consumption - 460 W;
  • suction hose - no;
  • level of working noise - 70 dB;
  • network cable - 7 m;
  • type and volume of the dust collection tank - 0.2 L aqua block;
  • basic equipment - parking cleaning station, measuring cup, tanks for clean and dirty water;
  • functional - wet cleaning, dust cleaning, the option of quick fluid collection, minimal water consumption;
  • additions - a spare pair of working rollers;
  • weight - 4.6 kg.

Customers call advantages ease of use, good maneuverability, optimum sound effect and attractive external design.

The disadvantages include a very small volume of the tank for clean water. To remove the average 2-3 room apartment, it has to be filled twice, and this is time consuming and inconvenient.

A lot of complaints are caused by the long network cable, which is not equipped with an automatic winder. When processing the room, he gets confused under his feet, and if accidentally hit under the rollers, he is pulled into the compartment under the protective cover.

According to the owners, the device only works correctly on smooth, hard surfaces. It only removes dust and spilled water well; it is not suitable for cleaning carpets and rugs. She doesn’t collect the hair and coat of animals; she does a poor job cleaning corners and baseboards.

It differs from the FC 5 model by the availability of spare rollers in the kit and a higher price, which users consider unjustified.

7th place - KARCHER SV 7

A very progressive model, capable of simultaneously sucking in dust, collecting small particles of garbage, conducting wet processing and drying surfaces.

A large set of nozzles for various purposes makes it possible to do global general cleaning in living rooms and sanitary facilities, taking good care of not only the floor and upholstered furniture, but also plumbing, mirrors and windows.

  • additions - a four-stage filtration system, control of the suction power on the handle, a 0.6 l tank for refueling with water, the option of protection against children;
  • weight - 9.4 kg.

Home appliance owners praise the unit for excellent suction power in the process of dry cleaning and good steaming ability, allowing you to clean the seams and remove grease stains on the tile.

It pleases a large number of various nozzles that allow you to clean up even in the most remote, not convenient and inaccessible corner of the room.

In parallel with positive reviews, customers note that the unit requires a very careful and cautious attitude. Wrong nozzle selection or too intense steam can easily spoil the finish.

The disadvantages of the model include high weight, poor maneuverability, especially on soft and fleecy coatings, a cord that does not retract into the unit, and weak latches on the working tubes.

According to users, an aggregate of such a price level should be better and more reliable.

Of the minuses, customers most often call the high cost of the device and the bulkiness of the design. Users have no complaints about the technical capabilities of the unit.

  1. At one time in the noughts, I was very impressed with the advertising of Karcher's washing vacuum cleaners. A man came to us who showed and told only good things about him, even we cleaned the carpet. Now that I have the money, I’m thinking of buying, but I’m sure that Karcher is not there. During this time, many brands have appeared and it is not clear which one to choose.
