Have you actually watched the Karcher how to use video. The blue filter is the water filter which you don’t need to use whilst your using it as a normal hoover coz you have a bag to collect the mess to which you obviously wouldn’t use with water extraction hence why the bag then comes out and water filter goes on if anyone reads this don’t waste your time go to the proper karcher video on KZbin before you beak your new machine

[@ibaisaic]

The majority of vacuum cleaners that use a bag also have a filter before the motor. Leaving the course foam filter in place while dry vacuuming will not cause harm to the machine but it will prevent debris entering the motor should the bag split. The instructions state to clean the foam filter after wet use, let it dry and then re-insert. The instructions do not say to remove the blue filter when you have fitted a bag and they also mention that for improved filtration you can buy the optional cartridge filter. In the FAQ section of Karcher’s website it says “ We recommend using a filter bag when vacuuming fine dusts. When dry vacuuming using the foam filter, always use a filter bag in addition. Do not use a filter bag when wet vacuuming.”

I have the bigger SE6100 and I’ve always used it only for cleaning my mattress and carpets. Never thought of using it for cleaning hard floor as it is bulky. Thanks for showing that it is good for washing hard floors too.

Best unboxing and demonstration I have seen, thank you

[@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss]

Always get the SE4002 over the 4001 when possible. The main difference is the 4002 comes with the upholstery extraction tool and uses a direct connect system for connecting the attachments. Much easier to use than the 4001.

[@krell2130]

Hi, been wondering what the differences were, thanks! So, for spray extraction on carpets and upholstery, you'd recommend the 4002 over the 4001?

Hi there, what's the difference between SE models and WD models?

[@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss]

@@wendyntswane4719 WD are general purpose wet/dry vacuums usually meant to be used for the garage. SE models can be used as dry domestic vacuums but are specifically meant to be used as carpet cleaners.

I have a kärcher wd6p. Your kärcher is Nice. 👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖

Good thing that the castors are not pre-mounted. Prevents transportdamage. Looks like a decent extractor for the price. I am a fan of the Kärcher steam cleaners, sc4 and above (they form a good team together with the Numatic George).

[@Master_aviation1]

I love the video pls do more karcher videos pls

[@mtgibbs]

Looks like a nice unit! Keep in mind that airflow is also very important for good cleaning so even though the suction might be average it may have much better airflow than other units.

Great informative video! Could you add KZbin "Chapters" to this video so that it's easy for us to seek the specific part that we need, please?

[@indricotherium4802]

Your video saved me just in time from sending it back to the shop and ordering a different model. I could not get the fluid tube to attach to the spray head and the manual didn't clearly explain the locking device like your video does. I felt if pushed it any harder something would break and I reported the part as faulty to the retailer. Also the tank connector nozzle looks as if it doesn't fit home properly. The hose clips are really mickey - you know they're going to fall off in use and while using the dust vacuum function, I found that they do. The first time I started the pump it sounded like a bag of marbles rattling and nothing happened. I left it and then after watching your video tried it without the spray head attached and the pump sounded and worked normally, pushing water out of the end of the tube. So I reassembled and, fingers tentatively crossed, it appears to be working. However, the experience hasn't exactly enamoured me of the make and model and I now wish I'd bought a Thomas or a Vacmaster.

[@ChrisDied]

I bought this just for carpet and upholstery cleaning, for just normal vacuuming i use a karcher vc3 which is very light and small

[@don.timeless4993]

Thank you so much for the video For me I don't trust companies that uses filters for the hard floor cleaners because that means buying filters from time to time

[@ahmeddhaifaldamestani6557]

[@joevanseeters2873]

Looks like Karcher got their inspiration for that machine from the Pneumatic George machine. Looks very similar in design including the internal bucket and handle, bag, etc, although the George is much more well built than this machine. I do really like how that handle on the Karcher clicks into place and locks the top. I have a George which aren't real popular here in the USA but I love my George. It's both an excellent vacuum (the primary way I use it) and as an upholstery extractor (used that way a couple times per year). I got my George strictly for my car detailing after seeing several detailing professionals in the UK and Australia using them. Overall the Karcher looks like a decent unit and it definitely did a great job on that carpet. Is this unit cheaper than a George? I have a Karcher K5 Pressure washer and I am very happy with it, so if someone wanted to stick with one manufacturer, this would probably be a good option, but for me.....nothing beats that George machine. Have you ever found a dual unit like these that is more powerful than the George?

Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

How is this machine

[@anejz1637]

With 4001 plus you get a small wet attachment as standard, the one that you paid extra.

[@hsab5927]

thanks for the Demonstration. I have a question, how much water does it leave behind when washing Carpets?

[@ahmadsyaz_ash1248]

My wish come true. Thanks Mr. Ibaisaic. But there's another one version (SE 4002) has a upholstrey shampoo nozzle and the curved handle is different.

[@geminigirl7857]

I would like to buy this for home use, and use it mostly on hard floors for vacuuming dirt and hairs and cleaning stains at the same time. I don't have any carpets and only a few couches and mattresses. I would use it to clean floors and bathroom tiles, maybe furniture with the squeegee attachment? I wonder if this would be a good choice for me.

[@thechronic6708]

Hi does the bissell proheat have better suction power?

[@mbdulka]

I was looking at the Karcher Puzzi 10/1, but a bit spendy for home use only ... this looks like a good medium? Worth it?

Can we use additional accessories for pet hair? Are there any at Karcher centres/shops that fit this model?

[@phionahnakitende6973]

thanks for your time for us. God bless you in I am in UAE how can I get it please

[@Boodieman72]

I think it's more of a carpet and hard floor washer that can also do some dry pickup.

[@Drakey_Fenix]

You're right. Buying this to use as a vacuum cleaner is a mistake, at least I found out that they hard way.

[@maecinen9926]

We have a little bigger Kärcher than this but for car/garage use and normal wet/dry model. And it haves very good suction actually. Depends on model of course...

[@maecinen9926]

And reasonable noise level too, no need for ear plugs etc

[@fllf1854]

Thanks for the demonstration

[@asgerjrgensen1414]

Thanks for all your great videos, but you need to have an airflow gauge, as well as your vacuum gauge, so you can combine the two numbers, in order to get the true power of the unit.

[@user-qz6ix7od3b]

how does the airflow gauge actually help with "true power"? really curious wht's your point here. i've always used it only to free curtains easier from the nozzle without stopping the vacuum

[@asgerjrgensen1414]

@@user-qz6ix7od3b If you take a vacuum pump it can usually produce a vacuum over 0.500 bar but the airflow isn't more then 50-100 litre / min and it does not work for vacuum cleaning, but it does work for lifting using a suction cup. Whereas a small industrial dust extractor have only 0.02-0.03 bar of vacuum but the airflow is more than 5000 litre / min and it works exceptional for cleaning. The reason for the relatively high vacuum in a domestic cleaner is because of the small hoses. If you need to clean e.g. small nails of the floor you need lots of airflow.

[@shlogoldschmidt9143]

Wow so satisfying the carpet one. Just wondering does the carpet dry automatically after you hoovered it? Or was it wet? Thanks.

[@ibaisaic]

The carpet will always be damp after washing and the time it take to dry will depend on the carpet, the temperature of the room and how thorough you were at going over the carpet with suction only after applying the solution.

This is my opinion for now, too....

When you say dry use, do you mean it sucks as a regular vacuum? Is the suction as a carpet cleaner good? Cause I have another brand now that leaves you with a very wet dirty carpet cause it has poor suction.
