Kärcher SE 4 Spray Extraction Cleaner
Description
The Kärcher SE 4 Spray Extraction Cleaner (also referenced as “SE 4 spray-extraction cleaner”, “Kärcher SE4 Textile Cleaner”, or “SE 4 extractor”) is a powerful cleaning machine built for deep-cleansing of textile surfaces — carpets, upholstery, car seats, and more. According to verified specifications from the manufacturer and trusted sources, this model applies reliable spray-extraction technology to inject cleaning solution and then immediately vacuum it up, thus removing deeply embedded dirt and leaving surfaces quickly usable.
Whether you call it the SE 4 extractor by Kärcher, the SE 4 spray-extraction cleaner, or simply Karcher SE4, this device combines professional-level cleaning with multi-functional design, suitable for home, automotive or textile-heavy cleaning tasks.
Features
-
Deep-fibre cleaning with spray-extraction: The SE 4 device sprays fresh water (and optionally a specialised cleaner) under pressure into textile fibres, then vacuums up the dirty solution, ensuring a hygienic, deep clean with minimal residual moisture.
-
Large removable clean-water tank: The machine includes a translucent, impact-resistant 4 L fresh-water tank that can be lifted out for easy filling and emptying — no need to open the machine housing.Dual-tank/dirty-water collection: Dirty water and extracted solution are collected in a separate 4 L container for hygienic disposal.
-
Ultra-flexible “2-in-1” hose system: A long suction hose (approx. 2 m) plus an integrated spray hose allow for convenient movement and reach beneath furniture and in corners. Lock-function on handle supports continuous spraying.
-
Multifunctional 3-in-1 design: Beyond textile extraction, the SE 4 can serve as a wet & dry vacuum cleaner for carpets and hard floors when used with suitable accessories.
-
Convenient accessories & storage: On-board storage for nozzles and accessories, a 3-in-1 carry handle for easy lifting/carrying/emptying, and accessory mounting keep everything at hand.
-
Quick-drying surfaces: Because the extraction process removes much of the moisture, the cleaned textiles dry faster compared to conventional carpet cleaners.

Reduced moisture after cleaning: Because the dirty water is removed immediately, the residual dampness is low — better for homes with carpets or frequent use.

Q & A Section
Q: Why should I select the Kärcher SE 4 Spray Extraction Cleaner?
A: If you need a device that can deep-clean textile surfaces (carpet, upholstery, vehicle interiors) and simultaneously serve as a wet/dry vacuum, the SE 4 offers a strong combination of capability, flexibility and cleaning performance.
Q: Can I clean both carpets and sofas with it?
A: Yes — the spray-extraction nozzle handles large carpeted areas, while smaller upholstery attachments allow you to clean sofas, chairs, car seats and other fabric surfaces.
Q: Is the machine easy to use and maintain?
A: Yes. The fresh-water tank is removable and easy to fill and empty, the hose system is long and flexible, accessories store on-board, and the design prioritises usability.
Q: Are there any limitations?
A: While very capable, the machine weighs about 7.6 kg (without accessories), which may be heavier than a lightweight handheld carpet cleaner. Also, because it runs off mains power, it requires cord management. And for extremely large carpeted areas or commercial scale use, a higher capacity model might be better suited.
Q: What about drying time after cleaning?
A: Because the spray-extraction method removes much of the moisture, the residual dampness is relatively low, which speeds up drying compared with traditional carpet cleaning approaches
