Karcher Kärcher SE 3-18 Compact 18V 2.9L battery Carpet Cleaning Machine (without battery and charger) (1.081-500.0)

The Kärcher SE 3-18 Compact Carpet Cleaning Machine is a compact, battery-powered spray extraction cleaner designed to deep-clean carpets, upholstery and textile surfaces with freedom of movement and minimal setup. Powered by the 18 V Kärcher Battery Power platform, it delivers strong cleaning performance without needing a mains outlet, and easily tackles dirt and stains in narrow or hard-to-reach areas. The two-tank system consists of a 1.7 L fresh water tank for cleaning solution and a 2.9 L dirty water tank for extracted soil — allowing thorough cleaning sessions without frequent emptying. A 1.9 m suction and spray hose with integrated delivery simplifies handling, while included spray-extraction nozzles help loosen and remove dirt from textiles. System flushing, practical accessory and hose storage and compact design make maintenance and use intuitive.
