    Next time a double glazing sales person comes a knocking I ask for a quote for the fish tank - I get back to ya.
  • My husband wants one of these to do the conservatory but I'm loathe to pay £29.95 plus postage for it if it doesnt work

    And I remember my Dad having one for his fish tank as well, to clear the algae off the glass! It worked!

    I wouldn't let my window cleaner in my house - you need access to both in and out for it to work.

    Any updates on the window wizard? really tempted to order it - save a lot on window cleaning bill and does the inside at the same time...is it really too easy to be true?! ;)

  • I live in Blackpool, and my father works on bonny street market. He says he's heard that a guy is starting work on there, and selling a window wizard for £20

    Does anyone have any more information on the Window Wizard? I am considering getting one myself, but am also a little worried it may be a waste of money if it doesn't do what it says on the tin!

    don't waste your money..I did and they ended up in the bin.

    we were convinced by the guy at the ideal home show.

    they must have the thinnest double glazed windows on the planet for their demo.

    I tried it on lots of double glazed windows, including some very old ones, and each time the glass and space was too big for the magnet to work...they'd stick together, but when you tried to move them the outside one would fall off and try to kill the cat/passing pedestrians/break the patio etc (and this was on the ground floor..would hate to try on a first floor!)
