KärcherWD 5 P Multi-Purpose 6.3 Gallon Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum Cleaner with Attachments – Blower Feature, Semi-Automatic Filter Cleaning, Space-Saving Design, Heavy Duty

I have a festool dust extractor. It is too big for travel/installs, great in shop. This Karcher vac is almost perfect for installs.Has plenty of power and light and small enough for travel.

I bought this vacuum specifically for my DIY flooring project, and it worked great.It has strong suction, a large bag, and can handle nails, staples, wood dust, drywall crumbs, and anything else you wouldn't want to use your delicate home vacuum on.Now, I use it for cleaning the garage, lawn mower, driveway, and patio.

Works very well in my hobby woodworking shop. The plug in auto start is a game changer; I used it with a Makita track saw, a Dewalt trim router, a Bosch 5” ROS, and a Wen OSS with no problems. It has more than enough suction for my needs and even at max power is noticeably quieter than my Ridgid wet dry vac. It can get even quieter with the power dialed down - and max power isn’t necessary for quite a few tasks. Very good price for a budget dust extractor.

Having run through several shopvacs (Bosch, Craftsman, Shop Vac, DeWalt) over the last 20 years, I truly wasn't expecting much.I put it through some paces during a recent skim and paint project. First use was for basic pre-cleaning of the space - handled very well and maneuvered around without issue. When it was time to start sanding, I attached the hose to my sander and went to work. Amazing job!! The dust extractor eliminated so much of the dust. I almost feel like this is a dust extractor that also vacuums vs. the other way around.This machine has so much going for it: incredible suction, ability to perform as a dust extractor, easy access filter (can sub with HEPA grade), several accessory tools - including a crevice tool!, onboard storage, super cord and hose length, good quality, and easy to use.The only downsides for me are: would have been nice to have a brush accessory (I'm being greedy) and the onboard storage slot for the floor head attachment doesn't really work out. The head falls off all the time. In fact, the entire onboard storage could use a little revamp. But, it's easy to overlook for the quality of this machine at this price point.

This vacuum is very well made and does the job well. It's not the lightest shop vac on the market, but then again the weight seems to convey quality. It comes with lots of tools and a long vacuum hose and a long power cord. The variable suction is handy when vacuuming areas that call for less than full on suction. You can't go wrong with this one.

"I recently purchased the Karcher WD5 vacuum cleaner and it has exceeded my expectations. The powerful suction and compact design make cleaning a breeze. The various attachments allow me to clean every nook and cranny with ease. I love the ease of use and the high-quality build of this vacuum cleaner. I highly recommend the Karcher WD5 to anyone in the market for a new vacuum cleaner. Five stars!"

Only had for a week or so but it’s a great unit and replacing a smaller version of the same. Long power cord and hose makes a huge improvement on efficiency.

Awesome entry level dust extraction setup, it's hard to get a 1 and 7/8 in. rigid hose inserted into the adapter that came on the basic hose, they need to sell threaded adapters for this vacuum specifically so people can use any hose they want and it will still lock into position
