they're great!

Yes - brilliant.

Cleaning windows is a doddle but it's also excellent for mirrors, shower screens etc etc.

Husband thought it was a gimmick at first, but now he even cleans the windows himself (sometimes).

After seeing a friend use one, I wanted one straight away. I never believed a gadget like that could leave windows so clean and streak free - but this does. The time to clean my windows is probably less than half now!

I would like to hear what people use as a window cleaning fluid and what works for them. At the moment I am using concentrated window cleaner.

Yep - they're great. We got ours for £44 a year or so ago and it was a good price then. Since then the price has started to gradually fall, but £39 is a good price.

What's the best way to use these? I got one a couple of weeks ago, but not tried yet. Is it just a vac, or does it apply the cleaner and clean?

I was in Costco Watford yesterday and they had the Karcher WV70 window vac i.e. the one with all the extra bits for about £53 inc. VAT. Loads in stock but I reckon they'll soon go.

Don't bother with all the extra gubbins, not required.

Just get the vac, a microfibre cloth and some washing up liquid.

Makes it quick and easy to clean the windows which (for me at least) means I am more likely to clean the windows more often.

Also, for our single glazed windows it makes removing the condensation in the morning a doddle.

p.s. I got John Lewis to price match mine so I got the cheap price + 2 year warranty

Nearest 18 currys to me (east mids) out of stock so it could be a wild goose chase

I loooove mine - got it two years ago for my birthday and yes I cleaned the windows with it there and then! I use Nilglass but bought at makro prices not Lakeland who also stock it. The two together are amazing. I tend to spray, wipe, spray, vacuum. Xxx
