I have therefore made the Kärcher for one year in use and have good experience. Bought the sucker was the garages to keep clean, especially in winter, if you transported with the tires much gravel inside. The ground is not always dry, the vehicle of falling snow can also be eingsaugt as the gravel. Here, the long hose comes in handy as it comes under the standing in the garage vehicle without major dislocations. Should purchase one to a second filter, because it takes a relatively long time until the supplied filter is dry again. The price performance ratio is very good from my point of view, considering the features and suction. Only the noise level is quite high.
