Kärcher is a brand known for quality, innovation and usability. First impression of the SC3 Upright were positive. The ease of putting the device together and the build quality really is outstanding. The way the parts click into place is so satisfying has that typical Karcher feel. Within minutes it was ready to start cleaning.
This cleaner can tackle tiles, wood and even carpet. I was concerned the cleaner would require frequent refills due to the descaling cartridge which takes up the bulk of the tank capacity. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how little water it used.
This is where the positives end. It soon becomes apparent how frustratingly short the power cable is. It wouldn't even reach from my kitchen to the end of the laundry. This becomes tiresome and requires careful planning to ensure you can get back to the cable and efficiently clean the house.
The final finish of the floors after steam mopping is good. The finish on wooden floors can be streaky and takes some practice to get the best results. I didn't really see a difference when used on carpets. On tiled floors the end result was slightly better however I do see a better result when compared to a standard mop.
The other issue with this cleaner is weight, which is the trade off for the quality materials that are used. It isn't entirely effortless and I wouldn't recommend this device for an elderly relative.
Finally the upright steam cleaner is really a one trick pony, and I would have liked the ability to use the cleaner on an oven, splashbacks and showers.
Overall, if you are in the market for an upright steam cleaner this is more than likely the best on the market. If the cable was longer this would have received 5 stars but it really does impact the usability of the device which Karcher products aim to achieve.
