Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Kärcher WD 2 Plus S V-15/4/18/C is a corded wet and dry canister vacuum with a 15-litre drum, a cartridge filter and a floor and crevice nozzle in the box. It is listed at £66.44 with a 4.3 average from 24 ratings, and it takes the #9 spot in this guide.
Kärcher sells two different machines under the WD 2 Plus name. The other one, a 12-litre version, is £61.00 and carries 2,664 ratings. So £5.44 buys 3 extra litres here — and roughly 111 times less review history to judge it by: 24 ratings against 2,664. The listing's own numbers also fail to close in places. The rating breakdown reads 79% five-star, 7% four-star and 14% one-star, percentages that total 100 and sit near a 4.3 average but cannot be split into 24 whole ratings. The spec table says Portable: No for a 5.5 kg machine, which two reviewers on the page describe as easy to move around, and it gives one speed alongside two power levels. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing of our own.
