Karcher WV 60 Window Vac

Never been one to write many reviews, but this item is so marvellous I felt compelled to.

We have quite a bit of condensation on the windows on frosty mornings and this gadget is absolutely fabulous in getting rid of it. 5 minutes, all windows cleared, job done. If it stopped working for any reason, I'd be straight out to get a new one!!

I've not tried it for window cleaning yet, too cold to be standing on a ladder at the moment, but I'll let you know when I do.

I would agree. I have had mine for a few months. We are fortunate not to have window condensation. I actually used mine this morning to clean my indoor windows and it works really well. Window cleaner does the outside windows.

I've been wondering for a while whether to buy one of these gadgets.

I don't want to buy and it takes up space without being used.

We borrowed one from a relation to try, and I think that I might use it. The only things putting me off are that you need to keep it charged, and still need a cloth for cleaning round the frames and window sills. It doesn't seem like it would save much time.

Decisions, decisions ...

I use mine every morning to take the water off the tiles after having a shower (well 3 showers for our family). Clears the mirrors and ensures that the bathroom doesn't get damp even with fans.

Like others, when I first saw them on a well known shopping channel {now no longer around} I was of the thought"what a waste of money" but in one of my mad moments I took the plunge and now would not be without it, From window,shower screen, tiles and the odd liquid spill for me it is a dream, I even made a rough bracket near a electric socket so I can use it and get it back on charge for the next time. I would not now be without one, OK I know there are many gadgets on the market that are stated a "must have" by the companies to get us to part with hard earned cash and within a fortnight end up in a drawer or at the back of a cupboard never {until a move comes up or a major spring clean is done}but this is one item that I for one would not want to be without.

I also love my window vac, it has done what all good gadgets should do: make a crappy job much easier.

It now takes 15mins to clean all the windows in the house and the conservatory.

That sounds very impressive!

The Window Vac sounds a very useful tool to have.

Thanks for information.

It doesn't need charging all the time, just when the battery has run down. I charged it the other day, haven't done it since and it's worked fine the last three days.

we have had one since they brought them out a few years ago , excellent to get rid of the window condensation on certain frosty mornings , after every shower i remove all water & clean cubicle & no sign of mould on the sealant , it looks brand new. its very good for sucking water off kitchen worktops , good for dashing around the car windows , & its not bad for cleaning windows as well.:)

I got one when there was a glitch at Tesco resulting in them being about £1.90 each. It's quite good, but a nuisance to remember to recharge it when you use it infrequently. Although on the whole it leaves a streakless finish, you do see the occasional streak on glass. Not a massive bother though.

we got one for dad this Christmas, it was on his list - i did not really get why he wanted one, as he got one for my mum a few years ago. but apparently he does not get a look in as when he wants to use it in the bedroom and his train room (yes he has a train room) she is using it in the car!! they apparently need 2, they are that good!!
