Published on 09/08/2026 at 19:41 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Karcher WD 3 is a 4.5 gallon wet-dry shop vacuum with a 1000 watt input, a 230 W suction rating, and a blower function. The US model page lists the part number as 1.628-114.0 and shows a 19.69 ft power cable.
What The US Model Lists
The Kärcher US product page shows 215 mbar vacuum, 95 cfm air flow, 74 dB(A) sound pressure level, and a 120 V, 60 Hz setup. It also lists a plastic container, a 35 mm accessory size, and dimensions of 13.7 x 12.9 x 19.4 inches.
Included accessories on the US page are a filter, a filter bag for fine dust, a suction hose, two suction tubes, a floor nozzle, and a crevice nozzle. The same page also says the model supports wet and dry vacuuming without additional filter replacement.
Price And Package Details
Home Depot lists the WD 3 Multi-Purpose 4.5 Gal. Wet-Dry Shop Vacuum Cleaner with Attachments, Blower Feature and Compact Design at $69.99 as of 09/08/2026. The retailer page repeats the model number 1.628-114.0 and names the included suction hose, extension tubes, floor nozzle, and crevice nozzle.
Target lists the Kärcher WD 3 Corded Wet/Dry Vacuum at $99.99 and gives a 4.5 gallon capacity, a 19.69 ft cord, a 6.5 ft suction hose, and a 2-year limited warranty. It also lists the set contents as the WD 3, suction hose, two extension tubes, floor nozzle, crevice nozzle, a 3-layered fleece filter bag, and a cartridge filter.
Manufacturer And Context
Kärcher North America Inc. lists its headquarters in Aurora, Colorado, on its U.S. contact and imprint pages. Kärcher also says it is a family-owned company headquartered in Winnenden, Germany.
Compared with Kärcher's WD 2-18 cordless model, the WD 3 uses a 120 V corded setup instead of an 18 V battery platform and a 3.2 gallon tank. That makes the WD 3 the larger-capacity, plug-in option in the U.S. wet-dry lineup.
Where The WD 3 Fits
The WD 3 sits in the middle of Kärcher's U.S. wet-dry range, between smaller cordless units and larger commercial machines. For garage cleanup, car interiors, and mixed wet-and-dry debris, its 4.5 gallon tank and blower function define the use case more than the compact shell.
