Brilliant piece of kit. Karcher never disappoint.
Makes light work of windows and mirrors leaving a streak free finish. Lightly spray the window, then Karcher off the water. Water collects into a removable tank and you can see the dirt that has come off the windows.
This is brilliant, I definitely would recommend it if you hate cleaning windows and mirrors, makes the job quicker easier no messy buckets and rags and no smudges on the glass! The only reason I have given it four stars is because is because the on/off button can be a a fiddle.
I bought this as I’ve recently moved into a new home with full length windows in the living room. I find it difficult to bend down or kneel down for long enough to clean the windows now. I bought this in the hope of making my life easier.
I have 12 windows and cleaned them all (inside only)in well under 2 hours. No aching arms or back and no smears. Wish I had bought one years ago.
So much easier than window cleaner and polishing! Weak solution of washing up liquid and clean off with window vac……simple.
This was to replace a previous Karcher which lasted several years – we use it daily to clean the glass and tiles after a shower. Keeps the bathroom looking clean, the sealant white and stops the limescale building up. Couldn’t do without it. This one is more compact which is great.
The button is very hard to switch on and off . If you have problems with your had I think you would struggle
Great item cleans well money well spent would highly recommend this produc
Its difficult to remove the water container but persevere and remember to twist the black stopper and once empty place the stopper back properly with a slight twist. Blade is a lot more work as its difficult to remove if you are thinking of returning it. Persevere and its great and work a little hassle.
great product,my windows never looked so clean, without any effort,no streaks, very pleased with product.
Fast delivery. Wow!! This is a fantastic little piece of kit. Absolutely great. I cannot believe how well it does the job. So easy to use and handle. Windows cleaned in seconds and all streak free. I’ve used it on my car too. Used the vac to remove the water from the bodywork after rinsing and it was superb. Cannot sing it’s praises enough. Thank you.
This little tool was a revelation, I honestly thought…..a vaccumn for cleaning glass!!! What next!! Then I saw someone use it and it’s brilliant, I had to have one after seeing the demo and I absolutely love it, it does the job well, it’s fantastic for the shower, all you need to do is use soapy water on the glass then vaccumn it away. Well worth the money.
Love this so handy didnt get 5 stars as on off switch could be bette
The only negative with this is the on off switch takes a long time to switch on and off other than thet no problem
I suffer from COPD so cleaning windows is an epic task for me. It doesn’t matter how much effort I put in, my windows are streaked and look awful. However, with Karcher, I am able to leave my window spotless. It is light which doesn’t tire me out. It is very easy to use and doesn’t require strength or stamina. The trick is to make sure the window is wet (rather than just damp) and not to press hard when passing the Karcher along the window. It took me a little while to adjust the angle and pressure but I got it within a few minutes. I used a cloth and a little bit of washing up liquid rather than any special product. I am delighted with it.
Exactly as described, service first rate, I’m delighted, thank you.
Very good would be nice if you could have an extension bar to do the windows at higher level I’m sure it must be possible
This is my second one would not be with out one one of the best buys how good it is
This is the second Karcher window vac after the first one eventually expired after much use. It is smaller and lighter than the previous model but has the same size reservoir.
My main criticism is that the on/off pushbutton is much harder to press than the previous model.
I thought it was faulty and rejected the first one received. The replacement was also hard to press so I assume that it must be a feature of this model.
This is the reason why I rated only 3 stars for ease of use.
Superb piece of equipment works great and holds a good amount of water in reservoi
This is the best item I have ever purchased!! My mum has been going on about it for ages so I bought one and gave it a try it is excellent and have since cleaned every window in the house streak free plus bathroom tiles and glass shower doors I’m obsessed my windows have never been so clean. Easy to use by cleaning the window first then gliding the blade over the glass for a streak free finish. Really good battery life
Love this for my winfows its so easy to use with great suction and the battery is still on 1st charge
I use this item to clear water from my Reasonable size shower, the doors and walls and granite floor, it takes about two minutes. Also use on car windows or on the rare occasion house windows. This is ideal for the uses I have for it. I keep it on permanent charge.
Great suction power, stops you housing the cloth, very easy to strip assemble and use, it will alter the way you clean windows.
Pretty good. Couldn’t get it to work at first then realised it had been assembled incorrectly. Only problem is when drying off the shower it doesn’t pick up unless it’s vertical.
Use it mainly in the shower on the glass doors and splashback – ideal!
This is the best gadget I have ever bought, easy to use,streak free every time.
Easy to use, great suction power and battery life and NO more streaks. Enough said!
Bought this because the battery in my old one failed after several years. Unfortunately found that although the product appeared the same as old one, I found that the two blades that I had from my old machine (one being fairly narrow) do not fit the new machine. Pity as our windows are all small square panes of glass.
I hate cleaning windows – it takes me a long time and I always end up with streaks, however hard I try. I bought a Karcher after reading so many rave reviews that all mentioned ‘streak-free cleaning’. Well, I haven’t achieved totally streak-free cleaning, though I’m prepared to accept that I may not have got the technique quite right! I find the Karcher useful, and it makes cleaning windows quicker and less tedious, but it is not a miracle device. It is basically a vacuum that sucks up excess soapy water. It will not get rid of any sticky, dirty marks on the window – I have to do that first, with a cloth. The head of the device is fixed and very wide, and so it is no use for small panes of glass. It is also not possible for me to get right down to the bottom edge of my window panes near the sill, so that part of the window needs to be finished of with a cloth anyway. I do think this device is expensive for what it is, and I notice that the prices of spare parts are very high (in my view). It comes with a two-year warranty and when that runs out, if the device fails I won’t buy spares for it. So… Is it useful? Yes. Is it easy to operate? Yes – there isn’t much to it, it is straightforward. Does it make cleaning windows easier? Yes. Does it make cleaning windows quicker? Yes – it helps a lot. Is it streak free? Not quite (at least for me!) Is it suitable for every window type and shape? No. Is it worth the money? Sort of – it is pricey for what it is, but I don’t regret buying it. (I know that a lot of people use the Karcher for cleaning showers, tiles etc, getting rid of condensation and so on, so I do accept it has these other uses. I just got it to clean windows, so my comments are limited to that.)
So easy to use really does the job well very impressed and would recommend
Great for windows, mirrors and shower screens takes a lot of elbow grease out off cleaning the aforementioned jobs
Good product with loads of suction. Long battery life in between charging.Arrived before due date and well packaged
Bought to replace old machine. Last one was top of range (on special offer) with lots of extra bits I never used.
So went for this basic model
Pro: lighter smaller machine so easier to use. Water collection compartment much much easier to empty and dry out between uses.
Cons: last model had three lights which disappeared one by one to let you know when battery being depleted. This one only has single light so I can’t figure out how to know when battery draining – bit of a pain if you run out of suction half way thru task. I just top up battery weekly to prevent this
Like most things these days, only very basic written info in box, pain in the neck having to chase info online
Purchased to replace an old one that the battery had stopped recharging. Just hope this battery holds out.
However the actual machine is nowhere near as sturdy as one old one. Albeit lighter and therefore easy to use but don’t hold out much hope that it will last as long as the old one, which is still in excellent condition just the battery has died.
It was relatively easy to use after a few trial runs and is quite efficient, I am satisfied with the item
Used for cleaning inside windows. Works very well and leaves the glass smudge free. Not yet tried on curved car windows.
Love it how did I manage with out it. (I know I didn’t clean windows) so easy to use clean windows in minutes
Great product. Used on house windows, glass shower, mirror and car windows. So handy.
cleans glass and tiles very well. Thought it would hold more water than it does.
A very easy to use compact little gadget used for cleaning shower.
Brilliant, use ours for shower screen and tiles in bathroom aswell as windows .
Brilliant idea we use to get condensation off windows rather than to clean the windows. Could probably be used to dry a car or any other smooth surface. Quality made and the battery lasts ages. Only slight gripe is the waste bottle does not hold a huge amount of liquid. One pass on the window and it is bone dry…so much less hassle than cloths. Brilliant!
Quality and great power does the job efficiently and leaves no streaks
I wish I had bought one sooner. It’s particularly fantastic for the shower screens no water marks or streaks.
My windows sparkle.
I did use Karcher solution but I think the outcome would have been the same using soapy water.
I thoroughly recommend this product.
This is the second one i have owned, the first one i owned lasted almost 10 years!
It works perfectly at getting condensation off of windows, we use it on the shower screen as well. The battery life is really good and the suction power is great, cleans the windows without leaving streaks.
Prior to purchasing this, we were using a squeegee on the bedroom windows each morning, half hanging out the window so the water would drip outside & using a towel to dry the rest. This is so much easier and I quite enjoy watching the condensation disappear into the window vac. Also been using it on the bathroom windows after a bath or shower.
I don’t have the biggest of hands but find this easy to hold and manoeuvre. Used it for over a week and still not had to charge it. So far, I’m really happy with it and wish I’d got it years ago.
A very useful and easy to use window cleaner. Good value for money.
The suction is good and even works upside down, however, the rubber is about 2mm short on the left side which leaves a 2mm strip against the
window frame. But for the price it does the job. A word of warning ensure that the rubber strip is flush against the window frame or it leaves moisture along the window frame. The water tank is a bit small and needs to be watched and emptied as soon as it reaches the full mark. I find it very easy to use after a bit of trial. The battery life is a bit short but does all 11 windows we have. Need to charge it every day it is used. It doesn’t do two days without a charge.
Wow. What a game changer read over some of the previous reviews and the power button doesnt move. U just hold it down for a few seconds then it turns on and same to turn it off.
I have 4 children so this is so easy to just spray the window with some soapy water and use this to dry. And it is amazing and so quick I can do my whole house within 10 minutes!.
Works well on my windows and shower area. But one of the plastic lugs on the collection tank came off. It is a twist fitting to lock the collection pipe in place. I contacted Karcher and they are arranging a replacement. Good customer service.
I use this mainly in the car. I go to work early in the morning and the windscreen is often full of condensation on the inside and this machine is ideal for that. Battery life seems to last a long time .goid
Great for condensation on interior tiled walls and windows. A quick 5 mins with this and it’s all done! So much better than drying everything with a tea towel.
It might be a little unwieldy for smaller hands – I have to use both thumbs to switch it on/off and the handle is quite big, but it doesn’t make it less effective. Really easy to take apart to empty/clean/dry.
If you have condensation, I can’t recommend this enough!
Been using this for a month, so far so good. The only problem is vacuuming the bottom part of the window is not exactly easy, because the windowsill or floor is in the way. If you tilt the vacuum too much (to compensate the windowsill), the suction effect will be dramatically reduced.
As for the bottom part of the window (near the windowsill)), instead of vacuuming from up to down, turn it 90 degrees and vacuum it from Left to Right. There will be a bit of water left but you can pick it up with a few touch of the vacuum tip.
This makes light work of window cleaning, for the whole house done in half the time plus the glass was so much clearer, streak free. Love it!
Battery could last a bit longer, however it doesn’t take long to charge to all good.
Very happy!!
Had 2of these before, great wee machine but having problems with on/off switch but will persevere
Love this! This is the first time purchasing one of these devices and despite some of the reviews, I am really pleased with it! We get a lot of condensation in the winter months and this removes it quickly and easily. Also makes cleaning the windows so much easier.
I cannot tell you how brilliant this is! I have a problem with condensation at home and I have a lot of windows, and it would take me a long time and several goes to remove said condensation. However this takes just a few seconds to do the windows, and I only have to do it once!
Heard a lot about these so thought I would get one & save myself the time on cleaning my windows by hand…. so glad I did. Looks good & is light weight. The only down side is the on/off button isn’t great. You have to press quite hard & press in the exact right spot otherwise it doesn’t come on … other than that happy enough with it.
Works really well, clears windows quickly leaving no streaks. Not too noisy and easy to use
Works great, but not easy to switch on and off as the button is very hard to operate. Not good if you have arthritis
I’VE BEEN ASKED TO USE WORDS LIKE SHEERNESS AND SUCKTION POWER.
IT’S A HOOVER FOR WINDOWS. IT WORKS WELL. I TRIED IT ON THE BATHROOM TILED WALLS TOO. IT’S AMAZEBALLS AND I’M ADDICTED TO IT. THE SWITCH OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED IS FINE.
We have purchased this item previously and found it to be very useful.
We love this gadget. We live in a big Victorian terrace house and have quite a lot of condensation to deal with. The vac easily deals with the whole house without needing a recharge in the middle. The bottle needs emptying quite frequently but it is easy to do so. Very efficient and leaves nice clean window. The on/off switch needs quite a lot of effort but eases a little over time.
Fantastic product. This is our second one we dropped the first one however we had it for 3 years and it was perfect.
I use this to clean windows, tiles, mirrors, shower screens and even floors!! I am in love with this machine. It leaves my windows sparkling and I don’t need to go outside to clean the outside of my windows, I just thread my arm threw and clean them from the inside!! This machine is a lifesaver!!!
liked the attachments. anniversary edition so far so good. the switch takes a wee bit effort to activate.
I’ve used one of these before and they’re very handy to have. Daughter has a new home so thought I’d gift her one for Xmas.
Got this for extreme condensation on bedroom windows in the morning. Absolutely perfect for job
Works brilliantly, have had another brand which only worked if held upright, the Karcher works at pretty much any angle, very efficient, easy to empty, easy to use, am very pleased with purchase; use it every day in the bathroom to keep condensation to a minimum and am considering getting another for downstairs.
Would definitely recommend.
What a God send! Makes light of window cleaning and I also use it on the shower screen…no streaks at all. Wish I’d discovered this sooner.
I already had a Karcher window Vac and loved it so I bought this for a friend. She LOVES it. She cleans every surface in her home with it and constantly raves about how good it is. The blade is smaller than mine but this is ideal for smaller areas. Battery life is good. Highly recommend this product for making cleaning Glass and other shiny surfaces a much easier and less messy job
Nice and easy to use and gives streak free finish. Nice and quick too
My third one and wish I had bought the next model up. Its a bit too lightweight although it works fine
Another toy for our new bathroom, makes cleaning the shower a doddle
we use in the bathroom to clear the steam, they are very good.
So, what’s it like? This one is a bit shorter than the previous model and not quite as well balanced. We use it for cleaning the shower walls after showers and it works perfectly for that. No complaint whatsoever. A charge lasts about a week.
On the other hand, emptying the bottle is quite a faff. The previous model had a simple rubber bung which you could take out and tilt the device over the sink to empty it. The bung was attached to the vac with a strap which broke after a couple of years, but that made no difference to its use. This one has a redesigned bottle. You need to remove the bottle from the vac, then remove the black tube from the bottle by twisting and pulling it, empty the bottle and put everything together again. It’s not a huge problem, but finding a place to keep the vac during emptying was something we had to think about, and twisting the black tube is hard on the fingers. I fully expect to do myself a minor injury at some point, and when the thing wears out and is easier to open, it will also start leaking, so Karcher definitely lose a couple of points in my review for this.
Overall though, it works, it does the job and it’s reasonably priced, so four stars it is.
I did like it but when I used it I got water everywhere so I returned i
I use it inside and outside on the windows, quicker and easier to use
A handy tool to clean windows. I also use it on my shower screen. Still needs a bit of a buff up but made job a bit easier.
A great product – the only thing I will say is that the on/off button could be improved. Otherwise no complaints.
Great product, works even better than expected. The only downside is the small receptacle for the condensation.
Really easy to use, quiet and powerful. It takes about 3 attempts to get the water reservoir off, but easy after that.
Fantastic piece of kit- suction is great and really ease to set up and use- I HATE cleaning windiws but this makes it much easier- fab for my shower doors and mirror too!
-ve – cant remove head on mine so awkward to store!
So much more easier to clean my windows. Even the hubby has started cleaning then. Great incentive for him to do it for me. Only thing I would say I tried to use this for cleaning my mirrors by it does leave some smears. Other than that saves me alot of time on my window cleaning. Quick charge, enough to clean all of my windows.
