would come to a star. I have purchased the equipment for 310 euros in June 2013 by mail order. In particular, the washing and Nasssaugfunkionen have influenced the purchase decision. Even if the device can easily be converted for dry eyes laying down on a mode is useful. A short-term change is only from dry to wet feasible when wet to dry the interior of the housing must be dusted dry because otherwise the paper bag gets wet, soggy and tearing. Therefore, I will confine myself here so only on the wet functions. The removal of the engine block (upper part) is after turning on two lateral well-to-use rotary "buttons" without any problems. Both to prevent wrong connection in the lower housing part liquid container used (fresh or waste water) are easy to take to the stand-up handles, fill or to empty and also to reinstate. Screw the top back and LOCK, and then the vacuum cleaner is ready for use after 2-3 minutes. Infected Optional hose with the extension parts and the corresponding nozzles (bottom, cushion), and the work can begin. - Picking up liquids from hard floors or carpets - problems due to high suction force - Cleaning hard floors - with a side pushed onto the large floor nozzle brush strip with simultaneous spraying of slight contamination OK, stubborn dirt / stains soak (just spraying without suction - the device has two separate on-off button for the function or combination) and then to suck later. - Cleaning carpets / upholstery - with etws patience and the suitable (non-foaming !!) detergent is refreshing (lighter dirt / dust) to the "washing" of the textile lining (Car mat) possible. Decisive are cleaner and exposure times. The liquid with the dissolved dirt is then take a matter of suction. And which is abundantly present. The noise level is acceptable, but is noisier than a price level the same vacuum cleaner. As far as the predominantly positive rating. That the suction inclusive water filling is no lightweight (transport via stairs), is to be understood as an indication of the "strong" sex, here helping contribute in the household. And after use is the emptying of the container makes sense and a certain period of storage to dry the filter with the lid open. I put the shell therefore only transverse to the base so that air rankommt. After using the spray residual liquid remains in the hose, which unfortunately completely expire when depositing / Remodeling or disassembly of the tube parts and then again usually requires the suction. Although I know that this does happen again and again, you do not think holding it ... Some maintenance should be. In particular, the bottom wire on the suction hose in the water tank must be cleaned occasionally. Even some "dust" in the fresh water is to the grid and then the suction is very noisy and it is sprayed with little or no water. VERY IMPORTANT !! At the upper end of the suction hose a small cone-shaped rubber seal is fitted that can easily go "lost" and then the Spühfunktion is defective. Then it is a replacement part problem. My dealer can not get this part. Following a request from Kärcher and some e-mail traffic to me a seal was sent for free. Now I'm still trying to get another substitute - so far unsuccessfully. So; pay special attention to this part - I put a photo. Conclusion: without being able to compare with other washing suckers, I consider the Kärcher SE 6100 for an effective appliance that I do not prefer as the sole cleaning utensil, but also insets only as a supplement for specific cleaning tasks.
