Description
The Kärcher SE 3/18 Compact Battery Spray Extraction Cleaner (also known as Karcher SE 3-18 Compact Battery, SE 3/18 Cordless Carpet Cleaner, or Karcher SE3/18 Extractor) is a high-performance cordless cleaner designed for deep and hygienic cleaning of carpets, upholstery, car interiors, and textile surfaces.
