Kärcher FC 3 10553020, Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner, Yellow 40 W, 70 Decibeles + Multi-Purpose Detergent + Multi-Surface Roller Set, Grey

Arrived sooner than expected and very simple to assemble. Had the bigger 240v one, this was heavy and tended to fall over if you didn't put it back in the holder correctly. This is so much lighter and easy to use, pick it up, take it to the area you wish to clean and off you go. No swapping plug sockets or lugging around heavy, may I say industrial equipment. It does all my flat floors in one charge and although being a little slower than the original 240v one, gives me the same result. The floor is slightly wetter as it is not a vacuum cleaner aswell, if you empty it and remove the water tank, you can very quickly dry the floor and polish it. Takes a while to charge but who wants to wash floors all day, plug it in and it will stop automatically when fully charged. The charge level is bright and easy to read, when you are down to about 4mins of charge left, the indicator flashes, so it doesn't just stop unexpectedly. Spare rollers can be stored on the base stand and the dirty ones can go straight in the washing machine at 60°c. Ideal floor cleaner for your home.

Overall, this floor cleaner works well. Assembly was easy except connecting the handle shaft. It is a very tight fit and in the end needed vaseline to make it slide into position. The two small reservoirs which collect the dirty water do their job, but they fill up quickly. The fresh water tank is only half empty when the dirty water starts to overflow onto the floor. As long as you know this, and empty these two small tanks in time, you will not have a problem. The cleaner is quick to use and does not leave too much water on the floor, which is important for a wood floor. However it would not be much use if you have large areas of hard floors to clean.

Having just had wood floors laid throughout our downstairs I wanted a cleaner that didn't take up a lot of room, was cordless, lightweight, easy to use and went right to the edges of the rooms. This cleaner fits this requirement perfectly. Its easy to fill with water and easy to remove then dirty water. The rollers can be removed easily too so they can be washed. I would recommend purchasing some spare rollers though. The best thing about this cleaner is that although it uses water to clean, it doesn't leave loads of water on the floor, which means the floor is dry in minutes. I would definitely recommend.

I bought this to replace the corded version which I found too heavy and awkward. This one is light and does just as good a job. The run time may seem a bit short but it is more than enough to do both my kitchen and bathroom. Note - this is not a heavy duty cleaner but is really meant to maintain a clean floor or deal with spills. Rather the same as a manual squeegee but much better.

I bought this 2.5 years ago. It cleans ok it started leaking. After fiddling with the washer on the bottle it stopped. I went to use it 2wks ago and no power. I bought a new Karcher charger £26! But again would not charge. I called Karcher and was told the battery was dead. I asked how much for a new battery as the product is not fit for use! They told me they do not sell replacement batteries!!!!! I will own up I didn't use it weekly more like twice a month. It has not been over used. I paid over £200 and it doesn't last and now fit for the tip. I won't be buying Karcher again. I will buy a new Air Craft mop.

I had to look at videos online to assemble it but that's just me. It's easy to operate and will clean the floor but no good for ground-in dirt, at least not on first application. It works okay. Plastic and flimsy but that's modern stuff for you. Not bad value.

ExcellentEasy assemble .. few hours to charge.. easy to set up..I have a spaniel and it’s safe to say I have a very muddy high traffic hallway .. muddy paws galore!One quick pass over and it looks so shiny! Happy with this purchase..Highly recommend..

Whilst the cleaner is light and easy to use, the battery life while in use is not long enough and it does leave the floor quite wet. Also the cover you have to remove to empty the dirty water, can be quite difficult and the dirty water reservoir is quite small. Overall I do like it. Great for a quick clean.
