The vacuum weighs 10.8 lb without accessories and measures 13.7 x 12.9 x 19.4 inches. Its dimensions and weight place it below larger shop-vac formats while its 4.5-gallon container gives it more capacity than compact handheld wet-dry cleaners.

Size Power And Value

The WD 3 sits in the household and light-duty workshop wet-dry vacuum segment. Its 1000 W input rating and 4.5-gallon capacity suit dry debris, liquid pickup, vehicle interiors, garages, basements, driveways, and workshop floors.

Compared with Kärcher's larger US WD 4, WD 5, and WD 6 models, the WD 3 has a smaller container and lower listed airflow, while its 10.8-lb unloaded weight and 13.7 x 12.9 x 19.4-inch footprint favor storage and carrying. It does not include a power-tool outlet or semi-automatic filter cleaning.

At $69.99 as of 09/23/2026, the WD 3 offers a defined US model, a 4.5-gallon container, wet-and-dry capability, a blower function, and a listed accessory set. The package is best matched to garage cleanup, vehicle maintenance, basement work, and occasional liquid pickup rather than continuous commercial extraction.
