Had so far the FC 5 (cable) in use. Now made an upgrade to the FC 7 battery.
Pro
- Battery is enough for my 4 room apartment and stairwell (2nd floor) without any problems.
- Much quieter than the FC 5
- Dirt is picked up very well
- Dog hair absolutely no problem. No previous vacuuming necessary
- Cleaning up to the baseboards possible
- Use on stairs very good
- easy to guide
- not too heavy
- Shows when water is empty or waste water is full
- different modes
- Light
- Very good cleaning result
Contra
- Price
- fixed battery
- Fresh water rather small. In FC 5 same size. But only two and not 4 rollers consumption smaller
- Long charging time

Easier than doing it by hand but hard sell.
Overall a nice product to use, but has some big flaws that make it hard to recommend at the price point. It definitely is less effort to use this than any alternative method by hand. Cleans floors very well, including wooden ones. However despite advertising that it doesn't need vacuuming before this is simply not true. Even with vacuuming it will pick up dirt and dust from one place and deposit it again a bit ahead.
The small waste water tank means that the largest effort is constantly emptying it. (Once per bedroom sized area) In itself it is not a massive issue but expect to spend most time emptying the tank when doing larger rooms or surfaces.
Short version: Good product for frequent use but not without flaws. Considering the price it's more of a luxury product than something that will change the way you clean massively.Pro
- Overall less effort than mop + bucket
- Requires very little strength to use
- Easy to maintain/clean despite complexity
- Works well even on wooden floors.
Contra
- Still quite some work
- Expensive
- Doesnt work on harsher stains
- Doesn't get under everything

Already defective for the second time
I cannot recommend the device at all. We only use it about twice a year for parquet care. Even before the second use, it would no longer switch on. It was repaired under guarantee and supposedly "upgraded to the latest version". After that, it ran for one more use, only to malfunction again with the same symptoms. Conclusion: Used three times, defective twice. Extremely annoying.

Absolutely unusable. Broken for the second time under warranty. No more Kärcher.
This is the second time that the product has been returned under warranty. Absolutely unacceptable, as the device shows no reaction even though it is connected to the charger all the time. The last time it was sent in, there was no indication of any tampering, so we have to assume that we did everything right. Kärcher Premium is not what it promises.
