Kärcher was born in 1935 and was once known as Kärcher, which is one of the representative brands of Seiko from Germany. As the developer of the world's first high-pressure cleaner for the home, Kärcher is a global leader in high-tech cleaning tools. The application of Kärcher cleaning equipment is more commercial, often appearing in large public areas such as airports and high-speed railways, and the yellow brand LOGO is highly recognizable.
 
The shape of the Kärcher steam mop is similar to that of a horizontal vacuum cleaner, and the main unit and the mop are connected by a hose, which is slightly inconvenient to move and store compared to the hand-held integrated steam mop of Pizza and Shark, and is more bulky, but the water tank capacity of most of Kärcher products is 1L, which is twice the capacity of the handheld steam mop, which is its advantage as a horizontal steam mop.
 
The five Steam Mops launched by Kärcher are all interchangeable and can be connected to different cleaning head accessories to fully meet various cleaning needs. If you need a multi-functional steam mop that can clean kitchen grease, sofa bedding, clothing textiles, etc., then in addition to the 2,000 yuan Shark P8, the Kärcher steam mop can provide more affordable options.
 
The SC1 is Kärcher entry-level steam mop and the only handheld steam mop with a lightweight and convenient hand-held body, but only with one steam mode. The volume of the water tank is only 0.2 liters, which requires frequent water changes, and in addition, the continuous working time after each water addition does not exceed 10 minutes, which is also a major pain point. SC1 is about 800 yuan, and in terms of mopping function alone, the use experience is not as good as the price of 23V8V.
 
Unlike the Bissell and Shark, Kärcher Steam Mops all require a long warm-up time, with the longest being the SC2 at 6.5 minutes. Although the warm-up time is long, the strong steam pressure also gives the Kärcher a stronger cleaning ability, and the steam temperature of all series can reach 140°C. As a fast-heating steam mop, the SC3 has the shortest warm-up time of the five, and it only takes 30 seconds to heat up and spray steam, which is suitable for office workers who want to clean their rooms quickly. In addition, the SC3 has two levels of steam volume adjustable for normal and strong levels, and also adds a child lock function to prevent accidental injury to children at home. The official price of SC3 is around 1600 yuan, compared with the Shark P5, the SC3 equipped with a large water tank is more suitable for large families with a wide range of cleaning.
 
The most noteworthy thing about the SC4 is that it can be connected to the iron, which not only mops the floor, but also allows the cleaner to enjoy the ironing care of clothes, which is truly multi-purpose. Steam irons are steam ironed at high temperatures, without direct contact with clothing, making them easier to operate than regular electric irons. The steam mop has many advantages, but it is inevitable that there are disadvantages, because the power required to produce high-temperature steam is larger, the steam mop is wired configuration, the power cord of SC4 is only 4 meters long, and it is necessary to change a socket to change a room, which is slightly inconvenient to operate.
