Karcher Vacuum Users

[Steve Catts]

Calling all users of the Karcher WD5P...

So, the vacuum filter bags. Do you treat them as disposable (pretty pricey over time) or do you suck a lot of dust and try to empty them? My wallet and lungs want to know.

Many thanks!

I found some felt type bags on Amazon that work excellently. That said I have used the vac without the bag just the cleanable filter. After a year of harsh use I felt the filter had worn out and could tell when it was clogged by the drop in suction. Now I’m not picking up yard waste so the bags take a long time to fill. Seems to me that emptying the bags will not be good for the lungs.
