WD 3 Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner

+2 here. Used it for 5 years now and still going strong. I got the ugly yellow one. The replacement bag is also cheap and you can get off brand replacement bags from lazada/taobao. I replaced the original wheels with rollerblade wheels early on and it still rolls smooth. I can't remember the price but it was like $200-300 IIRC

Second this WD3 model as I own one. It's ugly but it's cheap, reliable and does its job.

Karcher WD3, Wet & Dry. Best one that's served me well for long. Had a Eureka Forbes one previously which went dead in under a year.

They've service centers all around Kerala. I've never had any problems with all these years of using my Karcher products, got a pressure washer and that vacuum. Just Google them and you can get their addresses. For longevity and product quality I'd recommend them. They're in an affordable range, check them out and see if it suits for your use.

100% this - I have had the same Karcher for 10 years now and it works as well as it did on the day I bought it. They are practically indestructible, can handle long continuous use time and I literally have used mine to vacuum stones, sand, leaves, metal filings and everything in-between. I recommend them to everyone. My entire family and previous boss has them too😅😂 EDIT: I have a WD3, which is a smaller vacuum in the range and it’s a beast regardless😎

>So I needed a really strong vacuum to suck over a long distance. There are a lot of wet and dry vacuums with a ridiculous amount of air watts for much cheaper. (Edit: like this for example https://www.hardwarespecialist.com.sg/wet-dry-vacuums/3883-karcher-wd-3-wet-and-dry-vacuum-cleaner.html)

Mine is the WD-1, not sure if they still make that model. We have a WD-3 at work which also works pretty well. If I remember correctly I paid R900 but that was in early 2021.

Bought a cheap Karcher shop vac about 5 years ago and it's still performing great.
