The Stig gets back on the track in head-to-head with Rory Reid as pair take on Kärcher's top vac challenge

Swapping the test track for the ‘test vac’, Top Gear legends Ben Collins (a.k.a The Original Stig) and motoring journalist Rory Reid went head-to-head in a race with a twist – test driving Kärcher’s new Wet & Dry Vacuums.

The pair met at well-known racing track Brands Hatch to debut Kärcher’s new WD range and put the tough outdoor machines through their paces with a series of amusing cleaning challenges. The motoring enthusiasts were in competition to get a pole position on the ‘Kärcher Top Vac’ leader board.

The fun film sees Ben and Rory make light work of the course with the iconic yellow machines, from cleaning up popcorn spilt in a McLaren, to effortlessly vacuuming nails, water and sludge.

Wet and Dry vacuums are perfect for the tougher cleaning jobs around the home including interior car cleaning, DIY projects and renovations, as well as cleaning cellars, garages, workshops and outside areas. These types of jobs may damage traditional vacuums which are suited to indoor cleaning only.

Kärcher has recently introduced range improvements to its Wet & Dry vacuum line-up and launched two new models – the WD 6 Premium and WD 3. The range comes with a new slick design, and improved functionality including larger storage space for accessories, and a practical blower function for when vacuuming is not possible.
