Is the water tank removable for cleaning?

What is the actual weight of the vacuum without accessories?
The vacuum unit itself weighs approximately 0.7 kg. The total packaged weight including all accessories is 1.07 kg.
What is included in the box?

Do I need to put water in the main body before using it?

Can it be used to suck up water from shower trays or bath edges?
