What we like about Kärcher NT 22/1

  • Strong and efficient suction power
  • Lightweight, compact, and easy to transport
  • Large and spacious container capacity
  • Quiet operation compared to traditional shop vacuums
  • Robust and moisture-resistant PES cartridge filter
  • Practical integrated power tool socket with auto-start (Te version)
  • Easy to clean and maintain with a semi-automatic filter cleaning system

What we don't like about Kärcher NT 22/1

  • Power cable is too short and lacks an automatic rewind feature
  • Suction hose can be too short for certain tasks
  • Exhaust air vents from the bottom, which can blow or swirl dust around
  • Plastic wheels and tubes feel somewhat cheaply constructed
  • Some accessory holder slots are poorly fitted and can damage the plastic nozzles
  • European versions come with a Schuko plug/socket, requiring adapters for regions like Switzerland

Verdict

The Kärcher NT 22/1 is a compact commercial L-class wet-dry vacuum cleaner powered by a 1300-watt motor that delivers an airflow rate of 71 liters per second and a 249 mbar vacuum pressure. Its key characteristics include a 22-liter plastic container capacity with a head-mounted hose connection to maximize storage volume, alongside a moisture-resistant, washable PES cartridge filter. Main pros of this 5.7 kg unit are its high mobility, effortless alternating between wet and dry collection without filter swaps, and an integrated semi-automatic Ap filter cleaning system that ensures stable suction power. However, users note a few cons, including a relatively short 6-meter power cable, a lack of an automatic cable rewind mechanism, and highly basic plastic construction elements.
