Motors along with brilliant results
I was swayed to purchase this from a friend and I am not disappointed. I've tried every manual mop and given up - they break and do not clean efficiently - really hard work to be honest rinsing out and reapplying more cleaning product. Frustrated with the old laborious methods I bit the bullet and got this Karcher. WOW - what a difference, you have a clean product rinse container at the front and the dirty collecting one at the rear. So you don't have to keep squeezing and changing mid flow of cleaning. Yes the dirty container does fill up and this must be emptied immediately but I have a large 4 bed house and it almost cleans the whole of my downstairs without an "empty" break. It's fun to use as it motors along with easy so no hard pushing. For stubborn marks just keep it in one place and let the rotating rollers do the work. Lovely shine on my floors after use as it appears to buff also. Yes it does take approx. 3 minutes to set up but there's no stopping then and again I say its so much fun to use and the result - beautifully clean shiny floors.Read full review

Good, but buyer beware
the Karcher FC5 is a fantastic idea - BUT. This is our second machine because the first stopped working completely after 18months. Check on line before you decide to buy, because despite being from a good brand, certian 'value engineering' shortcuts appear to have been included that could cause an inbuilt short life expectancy. Work out if the price of an extended warrnty still maked it the product for youRead full review

Karcher FC5
Simple to use. Makes cleaning large floor area quick and easy.
Well made as you would expect from a Karcher product.

Great results. Worth the money
This machine makes regular cleaning of hard floors easy and gives great results.
I have a privately printed vinyl floor that has a mottled surface that no mop seems to be able to get into the crevices.
This device is much better.
It seems safe to use on wood because it leaves it damp and no sloshing around with buckets is involved.
It is great for corners. Gets right to the edge.
I imagine on a large area of floor it will be a bit Turing as you spend your time pulling the thing back whilst the rollers are trying to push it forward.

Does a reasonable job
It does a reasonable job of wiping the floor, nothing spectacular. The rollers get dirty very fast - you need more than 1 set. It doesn't leave too much water on the floor and is quicker than mopping. But it doesn't scrub or clean grout. Haven't had it long enough to know if it is reliable or durable. Fairly easy to empty.Read full review

I received my karcher on Friday ,packed very well ,only set back was.i never had any instructions with it and being new to karcher I'm not really sure how to use it,I know it was a reconditioned machine but a simple instructions pamphlet would have been great ,so it's just sitting there at the moment till I find out how to use it .Read full review

Effective and easy.
Easy to use, takes very little effort to move, leaves the floor clean and dries quickly. I got it for our large church hall floor- its made our cleaning so much easier and faster.

Does what it says on the box
It does what its supposed to! it would have been helpful if Karcher had included a additional grab handle to hold while removing parts for cleaning etc but its a good machine overall. Don't use more cleaning liquid than specified and it will clean and dry as expected, it will leave a few streaks on tiles but not highly noticeable.Read full review

So a bit of waste of money.
Okay, so this was purchased for cleaning stone and wooden floors. We had always mopped them when necessary. So looking forward to making this teak easier. Wrong, I am completely underwhelmed by the machines ability to remove any spillage.
It is okay and removing very light dirt marks, but does nothing when trying to remove more stubborn stains. So if you want a machine that wipes up the floor, less water than a mop so drys faster, then this may do you.
But if you need to clean a kitchen floor or hallway, this machine won't cut it.
So a bit of waste of money.Read full review

Karcher FC5
Love it works as stated ~vacuums small bits and cleans the floor won't pick up larger debris .
It is heavy but I find it manageable.
Read reports that the rollers come off ~only if they are not on properly in the first place!
Doesn't over wet the floor.
I read it is suitable for laminate floor which I have but it does say sealed floors in the manual. I will continue using it on my laminate. Read full review
