Kärcher Sv 7
4 bar, 2200 W
Bought the device about 3 years ago and just threw it away. The heating time takes what feels like an eternity. The plastic handle does not pass any endurance test and is broken. And when now also the vacuum has given up the ghost after a short stink the device was ripe for the trash, because the warranty period has expired.

Kärcher has done its homework and developed a very effective device. Admittedly, I would already call me a technology freak, a bucket and rag does it too, but it's just less fun and takes longer. Compared to traditional cleaning, the floor does not shine, but rather appears dull, but is tip-top clean. A little training time you have to allow yourself, at the nozzles and settings, especially since the manual does not give so much information. I'm completely thrilled and would buy the device again.

I am somewhat disappointed with my karcher, as I find that steam cleaning produces too much moisture. So I decided to attach a cloth to the floor nozzle and it's better that way, but this way I can't use the vacuum and steam functions simultaneously.
Apart from that, the vacuum function is efficient, but with the disadvantage of having to put a de-foaming product in the tank water, but at least I'm sure I won't have any dust mites that I'm allergic to.
The steam function produces too much moisture, which is annoying on wooden floors, but as I've already seen, it's fine with a cloth on the nozzle.
The accessories are numerous and well designed, no worries on this side.
I'm a bit disappointed to have to put a cloth on the nozzle, with all the work involved in fixing it (with Ikea plastic clips it's fine) and washing the cloths.

The operating instructions are more than poor. Very loud and unclean floor cleaning. After drying the floor, you can see streaks everywhere. The unit often switches off, flashes and has to be restarted. Cause still unclear, probably overheating. Another LED flashes constantly, refill water, fill container full... Steaming and suction result - well. Would never buy the appliance again. Unfortunately, no work direction, just annoying...
