Kärcher Window Vac (WV2 Plus N Yellow edition)

I purchased this as we have been getting so much condensation on our windows and doors, which has been creating a mould issue. We also have a small bathroom and the tiles can end up dripping wet after even a short shower. This window vac has really helped - it has massively cut down on the condensation issue and I usually only have to redo the windows about every four days (and some haven’t needed doing again at all after one or two vacuums!). It also does the bathroom mirrors and tiles really easily so we are not getting loads of mould on the ceiling any more! The battery lasts for ages and it’s easy to empty the water when the vacuum is full. I also purchased the cleaning spray but haven’t tried that yet, although the vacuum came with the cleaning kit to use. Having the smaller head available has been brilliant too as it means we can even use the vacuum on the smallest opening windows. I definitely recommend this product!

Fast delivery, no instructions or charger, seems very good as it did its job on the battery life it came with.

This was a product I had long resisted on the grounds of, "Honestly - how good can it be?"The I heard work colleagues eulogising about their electric window cleaners (no brand in particular) which piqued my curiosity anew, so when I saw one "As new" on marketplace with a hefty discount I bit the bullet. It was a purchase fraught with the possibility of disappointment - the listing spoke of "cosmetic damage" to the body and accessories, and would it be any good anyway? Surely it is just a modified vacuum cleaner and would leave smears?When it arrived, it turned out that the packaging (the plastic bags) were ruched and lightly damaged while the contents were as new and unmarked. Well happy, although the happiness was marginally dented when the new item was discounted to slightly less than the price I paid on Prime Day. Hey-ho, but by then I had already used it with joy several times over.And yes, it is basically a squeegee attached to a vacuum cleaner, but by gum! It works!It is quiet in use, and it has been great to use thus far on a roof velux, full-length mirrors, expanses of window glass inside and out, and shower screens and cubicles. Also marble worktops and kitchen units and oven glass (yes reader - I did remove greasy residues first with a bit of product first! I am not a heathen, and didn't want to risk grease on the squeegee or in the mouth of the machine).It is literally a game changer when it comes to quick cleaning. A quick spray and wipe/scrub over of the surface, and the machine (with appropriate sized quick-change squeegee head) then dries and wipes with one pass. It does not smear or leave lines, and it is the work of a minute. I do use a clean microfiber cloth for a quick wipe around the edges where some residual moisture may be left when removing the machine.The machine is easy to disassemble for cleaning and rinsing, and a full charge is good for 30 minutes of cleaning.This is a genuine labour saver, and it means that I will now do cleaning that I previously used to put off.The machine is light to use, and would be good for all ages including the elderly on that basis.The only slight but inevitable cavil that I would have with this machine is that its shape means that it can make full access to the lower edge of things being cleaned a bit tricky, but I have found that it will make an effective pass on its side.I only wish that I'd bought one earlier!

Essentially it's a squeegee with a vacuum which collects all the pooled water... Simple concept, but very effective & makes window cleaning a breeze.However I think I'd buy the basic package given the choice again, the spray bottle/microfibre is actually a great concept and I enjoyed using it BUT it's just a crap build, leaks excessively when tilted at an angle etc, and the included window cleaner is just a freebie sachet/sample.The shorter squeegee is nice but personally I found myself using the wider one regardless.Also in hindsight and if price permitted, I'd prefer it in White as I think I'll be keeping it in the bathroom for wiping down shower screen daily, "Karcher Yellow" is certainly more suited to storing in a shed enviroment than around the house.But all in all, good product.

My windows steam up every morning and because of that my curtains were getting dirty once I started using this in the morning it only takes a few mins and my curtains are fine! Love it! No steamed windows means no damp in the winter also!
