    After all the above praise, I dont know now whether Im inadequate or Ive got a faulty one !!!! I found it brilliant for removing condensation, but just 'ok ' for drying off washed windows. Couldnt get rid of lines of water showing , either end of blade . Still quicker though than a shammy. Id still get it again just for condensation hoovering!

    It's great for condensation in the conservatory and for cleaning windows.

    You will have to clean the rubbers on the end to prevent streaks.

    Love mine - makes less of a chore cleaning the windows. I use whatever spray window cleaner I have (currently Windolene) spread over with a microfibre cloth then vac off the moisture.

    Mind you, it took me a couple of goes to get used to it.

    Refurbished ones are £28 plus delivery from the karcher outlet.

    I found the key to getting no streaks was to just use it very lightly without too much pressure.

    There great I was skeptical of it until I saw one working in B&Q. It saves me a lot of time cleaning windows. Wouldn't be without it now

    I love mine for condensation.


    Just wish they'd make a new model with:


    Shorter Handle
    Larger water container.
    not "leak" when used horizontally when full-ish
    Longer battery life
    Better rubber bung (fiddle to put back in if you pull out both ends.


    For all the wishes it wouldn't stop me buying the current model if I had none, it's very good.

    Yes I have problems with that rubber bung when it pops out.

    Maybe Dyson can make one small motor, better vacuum ;)
