so i'm feeling rather privileged because i'm the first person in the uk to get my hands on
the brand new karcher puzzy now this is your typical carpet extractor however there is one
major difference that separates this from all the other machines stick around to find out
this is the brand new carpet extractor for 2022 and this one's pretty unique because
it's the first commercial cleaner in the world to be fully battery powered its new
battery technology allows the car cleaner to have much more mobility and clean wherever needed and
being a commercial model this is highly robust enough to tackle everyday life in constant use
so let's start off by taking a look at this beast now this is the 9 1 model so it's going to sit in
between the 8 one which is the baby electrical one and the 10 one which is also the larger one now
both of those machines have electrical cables you can plug them into the wall and they work
however this one on the other hand is completely different this one doesn't have any wires at all
and i think the world's starting to evolve a little bit now so we had the electric cars which
were powered by millions of these underneath your feet and it started off where people were
thinking oh we're not going to take it seriously but now everybody's jumping on the electric car
bandwagon and that's what's been happening with electrical equipment for the valiters so what
you're gonna find is karcher now do a whole range of commercial equipment which is powered by these
batteries and these will fit on your pressure washer and your dry vacuum as well so they're
going to be universal so if you are going to start looking down the router going battery powered
and i will get through to some good points in a minute then you can stock up on these and you're
always going to have them at your disposal and it's amazing how much easier it makes your life
just to pick something up and walk around the car without having to worry about untangling all the
wires because it is a problem that a lot of people will deal with when they're mobile valiters with
too much equipment so you can have a load of these on charge ready to go for the day ahead
but i will warn you because later on we are going to be talking about some of the drawbacks which
might make your eyes water this battery will give you around half an hour's performance so it's not
the longest so this is where you need to work smart so people probably will question the 35
minutes running time for the carpet extractor with this battery in but i have to argue this case when
you're cleaning the seats you don't just solely break out the extractor you start by giving it a
vacuum then you squirt it with chemicals then you get the drill brush out then you might get other
brushes out before you even get to that stage of doing the wet extraction so if you use the tool
properly and you use it for those times only when you need it and nothing else i think 35 minutes
is plenty good enough and i did the ford smacks my manky one the other day and we did all seven seats
it wasn't even that much of a problem i still had a couple of minutes left and that's because
i went through the proper process of brushing everything first getting these seats prepped
ready for the extraction in terms of how loud this thing is it's fairly quiet at 70 decibels
and it won't blast your eardrums out and there is plenty of power to suck up the dirt too
and let's not forget it's not just the car you can use this on it's also a pretty
decent tool when it comes to cleaning sofas carpets and rugs but one scenario where it
came into its own was on the stairs because it can always be a danger when you've got wires and
the more i use the puzzy the more i loved it the suction hose is about two and a half meters and
that's pretty good going considering you really don't notice any lack of power and you get nine
liters for fresh water and seven liters for dirty water so if you used it on the house then you may
have to top up a fair few times but weighing only seven kilograms without the water is not
exactly what you would call heavy but there are some huge factors that will raise a few eyebrows
and the biggest question is how much would one of these mega carpet cleaning machines cost
so here we go the price of the machine will cost around 840 pounds on average and you
may think that's okay that's not too bad if i'm guessing the battery comes with it well it doesn't
in fact the battery is going to cost you 180 pounds extra and it doesn't stop there either
the charger will set you back 120 pounds giving you a grand total of 1140 pounds whereas the
current puzzy 8 one which is very similar but with a plug will cost you 450 pounds on average so it's
a whopping 690 pounds cheaper and it does the same job minus the freedom of the wires so the biggest
question you may ask yourself is do i really need to go for the full battery powered one yet
so until this technology becomes more common the prices will probably stay high and you
need to charge the batteries up so you're probably going to need to get yourself a generator supply
unless you have say 10 batteries that got a full charge for the day ahead but that's gonna cost
you eighteen hundred pounds just for those ten batteries so the smart money would be with the
eight one puzzy but if you're on a tighter budget then something like the george webvac will be
the best option and also if you want to carry on saving money then please don't forget to go check
out my previous video here where we look at the car dryer alternatives and believe me this video
is going to save you over 100 pounds on average don't forget to watch it it's a brilliant video
and i think you're going to be really impressed with what we found i'll see you later bye
