This is the best vacuum cleaner available in India. Very good suction power.It uses 1100W but generates suction power equivalent to 1800W. Large dust bag 25L. only negative is karcher does not provide extra dust bags along with the equipment. and also they are hard to find as dealers are only in large cities.

Powerful suction. Blower is good too, however, do not expect it to be similar to the blowers that carwash service centres have. It is sufficient for most household purposes.**Be aware that the WD 5 is a large capacity (25 litre) vacuum and might not suit smaller households that have smaller floor area**(Imagine it being similar to standard plastic bathroom buckets, but a little taller, wider and heavier)I cannot ever imagine filling up the canister, in any one cleaning session, for our large independent 2-floor house. Has enough capacity to last months for most normal indoor cleaning jobs.- Would have been more helpful if the provided cord was longer in length.- One of the drawbacks is the lack of brushes/nozzles supplied with the original purchase. Would have to invest in more brushes/nozzles to expand the utility of the vacuum.The standard flexi-pipe hose is of decent length (3.5m/8ft) and can suit most ground/window cleaning situations, however, it would be really stretching it for cleaning the ceiling (without the extension tube attached). Would need a longer flexi-pipe for cleaning ceiling fans etc. Given that it's 1100 watts the unit does get hot, so if you are in non-AC rooms, it can get stuffy during the cleaning process. We have polished stone floors, so the Karcher rolls smoothly in-and-out of rooms.The filter cleaning function and ease of removing the filter from the unit is very well designed. I bought the WD5 mainly for its power and filter system. Very impressed with the design on this unit, simple, yet very effective and powerful.I got the unit for INR13069 (shipping to Visakhapatnam included). Though it's been only two weeks since I got it I am giving 5 stars because of the overall built quality. I have used a Dyson (very popular in the US) and other equivalent vacuum cleaners in the past, and the suction on the Karcher WD-5 is just superior to all the past ones I have ever used.

Great vacuum cleaner.Bought it for Rs.13,000/- on deal.Been using it for about 10 months. Power is great. Blower works great too.Quite noisy and feels a little heavy while using it but expected.Comes with one single bag enough for a household for a few months maybe even a year or so.Wish it had an auto wire winder which has to be done manually right now, little tedious.The accessory holder is a great design and very functional. The rollers work great.Finally, one big con is if you use the flat floor accessory, the brushes on them catch a lot of dust which then have to removed by hand once in a while. Hate that but not a big issue.

Pros: WD 5 is very good medium- heavy duty vacuum cleaner. It can just about suck anything that comes in its way in one single sweep. I would recommend it for a bigger house.Cons: wire management if there was a provision for rolling the wire inside the machine.Sound is very loud.prefer to wear earplugs for better experience.
