I've got one. For £35 you can't go wrong. If using a bag (which saves cleaning filter so often), it fills up quickly. But still good when there is a lot of sawdust, black mortar etc to be picked up.

It's a little top heavy so try not to drag it with the hose as it usually falls over.

Oh dear

I had the karcher wd220 it lasted a month before the drum split. It was top heavy the filter was forever clogging and it held about 2 pints of water before it thought it was full.

better off getting the wickes wet vac for £35 and upgrade the filter for the extra £15

I agree with gasmanrob, I have the wickes one too and it's great

Don't overfill the karcher or it'll start spraying out!

I wasn't so lucky, mine was dirty water, it was brand new out of box biggest load of poo ever.

Any recemendations? Looking for approximately 30-40L main use for clearing blockages/airlocks and the odd clean up.

I now have wickes which does job but doesn't hold a great deal. Used to work for bloke he had a sealey one best I've used but not cheap

You should have got a Charles it's got me out of being petrified of cream carpets!

The Lidl one is good when it comes up. My local Lidl still have a few on the shelf last time I went in there from the last time it was on sale there.

It is exactly the same as the Wickes one (as in it's actually the same machine) but with better cable management, a better handle and it's a different colour. I did see a stainless steel one recently in there which I don't have so I can't tell you what that one is like.

Ive got the nilfisk multi 20 from M Mart, quality kit and don't p*ss over the floor like that karcher did, its more solid than the wickes one, and more expensive, but not as much as the charles

I've got the multi 30. Great vac
