Pros and cons

According to our carpet cleaner expert

This carpet cleaner is compact and lightweight, so you can easily lift it while you clean.
You're not bothered by a cord, so you can easily clean indoors and outdoors.
Because the cleaner sprays water into the stain and vacuums it back out, you can clean thoroughly and effortlessly.
This is unsuitable for you if you don't have a battery from the Kärcher 18V battery platform yet.

Description

With the Kärcher SE 3-18 Compact, you can clean your upholstered furniture and carpet quickly and comfortably. The carpet cleaner has a compact size and a lightweight design, so you can lift it easily. You also don't need a socket. That's because the cleaner runs on a battery. This way, you can also clean your car easily, for example. You can remove stubborn dirt easily because the carpet cleaner sprays clean water onto the stain. After that, it vacuums the dirty water back out of the fabric. This way, dirt disappears quickly and without effort. Your carpet also doesn't stay wet for long. Done cleaning? The device cleans itself on the inside with the rinse function. This way, you won't have to deal with unpleasant odors. You can store the included accessories on the device. Note: you don't receive a battery with this model. Don't have a battery from the Kärcher 18V battery platform yet? Then buy the model that includes a battery.

Solid device

Does what it's supposed to do
Battery life is indicated in minutes
Highly efficient cleaning
Takes 2 hours to fully charge battery

Very easy to use, does what it should do. Sometimes you have to suck the same part several times to suck up all the water.

Works great for the money, but without Karcher batteries

Cleans well.
Lightweight
No mains cord
Too small clean fluid tank. Empty quickly.

Works reasonably well. The battery does drain quite quickly, about 40 minutes on a 5A battery. However, you do need to use the pump and suction simultaneously for that. Initially, I had a leak in the handle. The O-rings were pushed into the hole at the factory when the hose barb was installed. I freed them and replaced them correctly. This fixed the leak. The first test quickly showed how dirty the mat was. Dark fluid came out of the dirty fluid tank. Cleaning produced visible results. The second cleaning confirmed the first time's success. The fluid was colorless... in short, this confirms to me that the system works perfectly.

I wouldn't have bought it because of the Karcher batteries, by the way. Because I have Makita batteries, I used these batteries with an adapter to connect to the Karcher. That works really well, by the way.

Disappointment

Drying power minimal

Disappointing due to weak suction.
