Karcher A 2504

Best vacuum – Hands down this is the BEST vacuum cleaner I have ever used. No other brand comes close, and the price is affordable. The suction of the unit is extremely strong and so it picks up all pet hair and the like, without leaving any behind. Packs up nicely, I purchased the car kit to go with it and highly recommend it. Update: This particular model is now discontinued. I now have the MV 5 Premium. Initially I thought the suction wasn't as strong, but then I used the old nozzle, and yes the suction is just as good. They've changed the design of the new nozzle, which makes it easier to use.

Excellent – Excellent for the garage. Mans vacuum!! I like it. You get what you pay for. Buy decent Karcher products and they work. Karcher should get out of the cheap market. Bought the 2504 for the garage and cars as missus was sick of me fouling up the Dyson. This thing can suck the chrome off a towbar!! Only thing is it has bags but theyre cheap 10 for $20 on the web.

Used it without the bag but it clogs the filter pretty fast, mind you i was vacuuming leaves, dirt and various other stuff from garage floor. It also has the facility to become a blower. Uses bags.

Excellent – We threw out the household vac and now the Karcher is THE ONE!!!! We have pets indoors and I also use it for my workshop. It is FANTASTIC. Had to use a regular vac the other day at my mum's place and although it is a well known 'good' brand, my Karcher sucks rings all around it. Definitely inexpensive, takes on really heavy duty work and easy to manouvre.
