WD 4
"Top cleaning power for wet and dry spills alike"
"In our tests, it coped with wet spills and DIY dust, as well as powering through our standard hard floor and carpet tests. If you're looking for a versatile vacuum cleaner for a variety of jobs, this is the model for you."
WD 5 Wet/Dry Vacuum
"Best Overall Design"
"Design considerations like a filter cleaning mechanism and outside filter access cost more to make and Karcher is a step ahead of the rest in overall quality."
WD 5 P
Showdown: What’s the best dust extractor for woodworking?
"All day long the Karcher sucked up sawdust with the best of them. We appreciated the variety of included attachments and good on-board storage. At $200 less than
the next-cheapest option, it’s a screaming bargain for the home woodworker with a garage shop who doesn’t need OSHA-certified extraction."
NT 30/1 Tact L
"The Best Wet/Dry Vacs, According to Experts"
"It’s sleek and very powerful for its size (150 cfm), has a great filter, is easy to maneuver, and comes with tons of tools."
Our wet dry vacuum cleaners store the filter overhead, separate from the waste container. The patented filter removal system allows you to slide out the filter for easy cleaning – so that you don't come into contact with the canister dirt in the process.
Another benefit of this design is that the filter doesn't take up space down in the tank, allowing you to use a larger percentage of the tank for dirt and water collection.
Another advantage of our top-mounted filters is that you can switch from vacuuming dry items to wet areas without needing to remove the filter.
Since the filter sits overhead, separate from the waste container, it won't come into contact with the water/liquids you vacuum up.
Many wet/dry vacs force you to remove the filter before vacuuming up liquids or you risk damaging the filter. Not so with our top-mounted filters!
Here's a benefit you won't find on most wet/dry vacs: semi-automatic filter cleaning.
With most shop vacuums you need to open the vacuum, pull out the dirty filter and bang it around to clean it.
Our WD 5/P vacuum features a push button that cleans the filter for you. Simply press the button three times to make the dirt and debris on the filter fall into the canister!
As tanks on shop vacuums get bigger and bigger, they become more difficult to empty.
Have you tried to empty a large capacity 14-gallon tank filled with liquid? You'll quickly get the point.
Our smaller 5-gallon and 6-gallon tanks not only save space, they're also much easier to empty.
Our WD 5/P also has an integrated handle to help empty the tank without getting wet or dirty in the process!
