Karcher SV7 vacuum
Subject to my previous review where the motor has failed 3 times and the replacement motor has failed again I gave up on the experts and stripped the motor down myself. This is a very well designed motor however a serious fault has occurred during the manufacturing. Normally the brushes are connected direct to the electrical circuit but in this case the brush case connects to the terminal via a spring loaded clip. Sounds good. Unfortunately the spring is more solid than spring and when the motor settles in plus a bit of moisture intermittent c

I am sure Karcher are aware of this problem and are simply making a fortune selling motors!! Also suction was always poor and I had to use max power setting. I have found a problem with the exit slits in the fan cover which are to small which causes to compressor to surge and become inefficient and by simply opening these up SLIGHTLY with a screw driver this will increase efficiency and suction over 50% . Now I have plenty of suction on a low power setting and am saving the planet, ha ha !! Tom Ainsworth
Too many problems
Bought it with 2 years warranty, just far too many problems, water leakage, dodgy seals on suction pipe, never really mops like regular mops, now just out of warranty, steam trigger keeps getting stuck, either you can't stop steam or can't start.
Idea of vacuum and mop at the same time is brilliant but all can be executed far better and reliable.
Also the way they designed the handle is weird, it takes quite some time to get used to it, unintentionally turn it of or adjust vacuum speed very many times .
No way would buy it again.
But 1 credit to be mentioned, air exhausted from vacuum is way cleaner than regular vacuums even with hepa filters.

Less than impressed
I just received my Karcher SV7 today. At first I was really impressed by the feel of the parts and accessories. When I started using it to clean grime from my shower and around the taps, it was a massive disappointment. I can hold my hand over the steamer nozzle at full steam and not even be concerned about the heat or pressure, or lack of more so. It's just fog!
The vacuum is what you'd expect from a cheap product bought from 'as seen on TV'.
And the combination of the two made my mop look like a saint.
