Kärcher SC 3 Deluxe Home 1.513-432.0
Cylinder steam cleaner · 1.513-432.0
Editorial review Reviewed 30 October 2026 How we assess products
The Kärcher SC 3 Deluxe Home balances strong dried-food and ground-in dirt cleaning with a quick start. Its 1L tank can be topped up while working, and two steam settings, an EasyFix floorhead and small brushes cover floor and detail jobs. The cylinder keeps most weight off your hand; onboard storage helps keep tools together. Allow space for the body, hose and tubes, plus socket changes with the 4m cable. It is noisy. The 3.3kg body figure excludes water and accessories, and the supplied descaling cartridge needs replacing as directed. A sensible cylinder for mixed kitchen and bathroom cleaning when you value refill convenience over the smallest possible appliance.
