Really handy product to own, in the winter the windows get condensation, so this is perfect to just suck up the water and remove the damp from them.
I use it indoors when cleaning the windows, as well as in the bathroom for the shower door, and tiles…
For me it’s great value for money and the battery does last a good amount of time between charges which is a bonus.
The cleaner does a good job of loosening the dirt into a solution, the vacuum removes the dirty water off the window which then dries instantly, with few streaks. The unit is easy to use but it is awkward to get it low down on the window, especially on the inside, where the sill is in the way. After a bit of practice, I learnt to turn the vacuum at an angle. When cleaned, there can be a few streaks left which are best removed with a micro-fibre cloth.
Overall, very impressed with this unit and enjoy using it, inside and out, works well on mirrors too.
Love my marcher window vac. This replaced my old one that I had for many years and was on its last legs. I couldn’t be without this.. I have a lot of windows and mirror wardrobes in the bedrooms and this just wizzes through cleaning them. Brilliant..
Old house, big windows, winter, frosty mornings, so condensation on some, despite, now elderly, double glazing! Bought the Karcher having seen numerous reviews, and it really works! No more kitchen-roll pane clearing (awkward and a pain). Suction excellent, does exactly what it should. Early days, but battery retains charge for much longer than expected. Simple to use, and very impressed with the streak-free finish on windows when clearing condensation, also when cleaning them. Not cheap, but, in my case, worth it.
My frosted window transfers are discolouring from white to brown as the black rubber has coloured them over daily use these past 3-4 weeks. Please Karcher make an optional WHITE coloured rubber attachment?!!
Fantastic window cleaner. Easy to use and easy to attach and detach the accessories. It cleans the windows perfectly.
It can be used to absorb the moisture in the mornings, leaving the windows clean and dry.
Just unpacked, but the cleaning concentrate is missing, which is unfortunate as I wanted to try it before buying a full size bottle.
It’s charging at the moment so can’t comment on this model, but as this is my second karcher window cleaner, I expect great things.
A great purchase! Wish I’d bought it sooner. Having just moved house we found that we were getting a LOT of condensation on the windows in the mornings in spite of the windows being double glazed. We plan to change the windows soon, but in the meantime the job of wiping down 2 large sets of patio doors most mornings, was a bit daunting. I’d heard of these window vacs before, but decided as it was reduced for the Black Friday event, and that we can use it not only to remove condensation but also to clean the windows not only around the house, but also in our motorhome, decided to treat myself. I used it straight from the box as it did have some charge, and talk about being impressed! I was able to clean my patio doors in moments, and the amount of water removed from them was amazing. In just moments my windows were clean and dry, what more can you ask? Highly recommend, although they are a bit pricey.
The standout feature of the WV 5 Plus N is its impeccable suction power. The combination of a high-quality motor and precision-engineered blades ensures that water, dirt, and grime are effortlessly lifted off the glass surface. This results in streak-free windows and a significantly reduced drying time, leaving behind a spotless finish that rivals professional cleaning.
The device is incredibly lightweight and ergonomic, making it easy to handle and maneuver. The slim design allows for easy access to tight spaces and corners, ensuring that no part of the window is left untouched. The comfortable grip and well-balanced weight distribution make extended cleaning sessions a breeze.
The WV 5 Plus N comes equipped with a long-lasting lithium-ion battery, providing ample runtime for extensive window cleaning. The battery indicator on the device allows for convenient monitoring of the remaining battery life, ensuring that you never run out of power in the middle of a cleaning session.
The water tank has a generous capacity, reducing the frequency of emptying during use. The easy-to-empty design ensures a mess-free disposal of collected water, and the tank can be quickly removed and reattached, minimizing downtime between cleaning tasks.
One of the most impressive aspects of this window vacuum is its versatility. It’s not limited to glass surfaces alone; I’ve successfully used it on mirrors, tiles, and even shower screens with outstanding results. The WV 5 Plus N has become a versatile cleaning companion for various smooth surfaces around the home.
The included accessories, such as the microfiber cloth and detergent concentrate, further enhance the cleaning experience. The microfiber cloth effectively captures remaining water droplets for a flawless finish, while the detergent ensures a thorough cleaning, especially on windows with stubborn residue.
Maintenance is a breeze with the removable and washable components. The straightforward design allows for quick disassembly and cleaning, ensuring that the device is always ready for optimal performance.
In conclusion, the Krcher WV 5 Plus N Window Vacuum is a game-changer in the realm of home cleaning. Its powerful suction, ergonomic design, and versatile functionality make it an essential tool for anyone looking to achieve professional-grade results with minimal effort. If you want streak-free, sparkling windows without the hassle, the WV 5 Plus N is an investment that pays off in convenience and exceptional cleaning performance.
I have recently just moved into an old property (1930s) and me and my partner have started to refurbish / remodel the house whilst living in it. Long story short our newly renovated downstairs bathroom doesn’t have a lot of ventilation ( other that a small window at the far end of the bathroom and an extractor fan next to the shower). After a couple weeks with the bathroom being used daily for showering, we noticed that some mould / damp was starting to grow on the walls, around the toilet and the below the window. This was due to the excess moisture setting on the coldest part of the walls in the room and it not being extracted out the bathroom.
After speaking to some damp specialists one recommended we clean the mould of with some mould remover, and then after every shower use the Karcher to suck up the excess moisture off the walls. The alternative was to buy a continuous extractor fan to replace the current fan we have ( quoted 500 pound for the work and installation). ( with some recommending a full damp proof membrane)
I could not believe that it was such an easy solution to our problems. I am just astounded by home much water that the Karcher sucks up from the walls, and the tiles in the shower.
We use the Karcher daily now, for roughly 5-7 mins after each shower. This usually fills the moisture collection once to the max line, and a little bit more. In terms of charging, we have to charge it once a week but that’s not really an issue ( good old sundays the day of charging electrical devices for the week ahead!)
I cannot recommend this product more, as it suits out use case very nicely.
Always had an issue with smeary windows but not any more. Easy to use although instructions are minimal. Also on the contents it shows a box of cleaning fluid but you only get a small sachet included which is disappointing as its not a cheap product.
Bought for the windows on a narrow boat. Works well on the frames. Not particularly good at corners
We were starting to get really concerned by the amount of water on our windows each morning. We bought this window vac and use it daily to quickly and effectively remove all of the water sitting on the glass. It’s amazing how much water there is – sometimes we need to empty the chamber a couple of times if we’re doing the whole house. It works so well and has given us peace of mind that we’ll hopefully avoid getting damp in our property. Would defo recommend to anyone with this problem.
Got a new shower in the bathroom and wanted to keep it as clean as possible. The shower has curved glass – side and door. So got this Karcher to get all the moisture off the shower glass.
It works OK, but I find that I have to turn it on it’s side to get the best suction, which is against the advice.
So Karcher – here is your challenge – create a suction head which is curved to account for the curviture of the shower door curve. I will immediately buy one as it would probably wotk even better than the flat heads you currently supply.
That is my only criticism of the unit – it has a great suction and if only it had a curved head it would be worth more that the maximum five stars.
I love my Karcher window vac. Main reason we bought this was to remove condensation from windows. It does the job brilliantly.
The spray accessory also works a treat for cleaning the windows and using the window vac gives stream free windows.
I couldn’t live without my window vac
Bought this to dry the walls after a shower. Does a great job, thoroughly recommend for this type of task. May even use it to clean the windows.
Work exactly as intended. Clear the heavy condensation from my window during colder day with ease. My only complaint is the capacity of water holder is a bit small for my use as I have to cleared it 2-3 times before doing all my windows. Not a deal breaker though.
I’m now obsessed, great tool, my family now use it after ever shower even though I originally bought it for cleaning windows!
I clean my glass cooker extractor and hob with it!!!! Amazing thing, so pleased
Instructions deplorable- plus difficult to open the vac to empty
Super useful feta is going on the morning much faster being able to decondensate the windows fast but I find the body is quite chunky and stops me from getting all the way to the dash board when doing the windscreen so the bottom stays misty but that’s not too much of an issue really just a niggle
I wish I’d brought one of these a long time ago. We get a lot of condensation on our windows and this has made removing it so much easier.
I was surprised a how light it was and how much water it sucked up. Very happy with my Karcher window vac.
Bought product to remove condensation from the windows of a large conservatory.
Was sceptical at first but reading customer feedback decided to purchase. And am pleased I did, made short work of the job, leaving windows smear free without the need to use drying and polishing cloths.Battery lasted well and the suction was perfect.
I use this mainly in our loft conversion to good effect, as we seem to get a lot of condensation up there on cold nights on the bedroom and bathroom windows, including 2x velux windows, which has been causing mould to start growing.
I have to say it really is easy to use, but after some time prefer the smaller suction head. There are a couple of downsides, especially with the velux windows where I have to angle the unit to achieve suction, which sometimes causes difficulties picking up all of the condensation, and if I tip it slightly too far can cause the dirty water to leak out onto the floor/ carpet. (unhappy face emoji)
I sometimes use it sideways too, going across the windows, but again this only works for small amounts before leaking. Under normal circumstances though it does pick up a lot of water, so I might have to empty it once or twice each morning. Really saves a lot of effort with cloths/ towels/ toilet paper each day, and only needs charging every 3-4 days of use.
Great little tool, go get one – you won’t be disappointed !!
Excellent for window cleaning & for drying wall tiles to bathroom & shower glass doors. Slight streaking still, better than previous model I had.
I got this to deal with condensation on my windows. The idea behind this is simple. It enables you to suck water off glass or flat surfaces.
It makes cleaning windows indoors a doddle.
Squirt the spray and clean the windows with the pad then remove the residue with the vac. Job done.
This is not a squeegee. There is no need to scrape the window, the machine glides over the glass and suction pulls in the water. The glass is not smeared.
It is relatively quiet too.
I saw my butcher clean his glass counters with one of these. It saves him so much time and energy.
A clever gadget.
The suction isn’t brilliant and it does leak a bit, unlike the product description where they say there’s no drips.
The roller on top of the big blade sends out two side pieces. These are so you can do the edge of the window properly. They act as guides but they seem useless. The roller would have been put to better use if you could adjust the blade angle but hey ho.
The charging station and spare battery comes 2 weeks later, even though it’s in a prime package deal. The battery in this only lasts for 35 minutes, before it needs charging up again. The version 6 of the window vacuum, lasts for 100 minutes.
Fast delivery box and instructions with all parts undamaged easy to set-up and use it’s been great clearing the condensation from the windows in the house in the winter months it means I can have the windows open a lot less, the different size heads are a good option as it would depend on the size/style of your windows which allows for easier access either using the small or wider head would recommend
Really useful for collecting water, especially if you don’t want it to just go down, like clearing condensation from inside a car. On the small head I have found it can leave streaks and you need to go over again at 90 degree from last direction. Holds charge well, can do whole outside of the house without a problem.
Only had this product a short while but so far so good. As long as it’s used with the proper cleaning solution it leaves windows streak free. Still getting to grips with patio windows at bottom of window as not much room to manoeuvre the karcher and first time I tipped it sideways to finish the bottom I found a fastening had worked loose and it poured dirty water onto the floor so much sure fastenings are done up properly! Suction is good and so far I have not had to recharge.
Thought about buying this for a while but wondered if it was really worth it ! Finally decided to treat myself and glad I did.
Works well and I actually want to clean the windows now . Unfortunately the first one I ordered was faulty and had to retu
With the weather getting cooler, condensation is inevitable and a cloth just doesn’t soak up the water from the bottom of the window seams properly but this has done the trick. As I have bay windows, the smaller suction is the perfect size for that and then the larger one for the rest of the windows. I still do need to go in with a cloth as times as it can miss the corners but it really does pull out a lot of water. I also use this on my bathroom tiles around the bathtub after a shower to prolong the life of the silicon and so excess moisture is removed. The battery life could do with being more longer though.
Overall this works really well. The only issue I’ve had is the tightness of the rubber emptying bung which requires quite a bit of effort to remove, hopefully this will become easier with use. Suction power is good and the motor is relatively quiet compared to a cheaper brand I owned. Well pleased with this purchase.
Takes a couple of hours to fully charge and as we have only a few windows and bathroom to Denise it lasts about two weeks.
Very pleased how effective it is both vertically down windows but surprisingly it also works horizontally across the windows also with no loss of suction or spillage from reservoir. This is a great bonus.
Also use to do walls and floor in shower room and works a treat removing the moisture with no significant issues.
A small gripe is the left hand side leaves a cm wet line on windows which does not happen on the right. The rubber looks the same on both sides so no visible reason for difference but not a big issue.
Bought this model as also had the smaller attachment but as it sucks both vertically and horizontally have not had need to use it.
The window cleaner works as expected and with the vac leaves a very clean window.
I got it in the sale and was a bargain at 55 but full price is expensive so would recommend the basic version without the additional attachments.
The Karcher window vac is spot on if you have condensation issues, we live in an old house that has issues with ventilation, this has been great at getting rid of it all, a quick blast every morning and it is quick at sucking up the water gets rid of it, have a towel or cloth close by to wipe your window seals as they do get wet. I have found it’s great when cleaning bathroom tiles sucking up the excess also.
I bought this primarily to remove the condensation that forms in the bedroom windows over night, particularly in the colder weather. The suction works very well. Taking the cleaner all the way to the base of the window cill takes a little bit of practice to get right. I now also use on the shower panels and it works a treat and saves so much time over a traditonal squeegee.
The water reservoir isn’t as big as you’d hope, and the battery does not last as long as you’d hope, and actually it’d probably be better with a longer neck so you could hoover the bottom of your windows (where you most need to!) without the body of this bad boy getting in the way… But you can’t dispute that if you want to hoover your windows, this device will let you hoover your windows. If I were to say anything to Karcher it would be “proprietary plugs need to get in the sea. USB-C would be better.”.
We have quite a bit of condensation in the winter when the heating is on and I have to use a squeegee and a cloth practically every day from December to March and then having to dry the cloths or towels in the house which adds to the problem… now I use the Karcha to suck up the condensation and it goes straight down the sink – so simple even my husband can use it ;0).
Absolutely delighted with the vacuum. Very upset about the lack of packing: the address label was stuck onto the karcher box and the box arrived open and all bashed. The vacuum had been partially charged. Not really pleased about that. However, the item is fun to use and great for removing water from shower/bathroom and windows.
I found cleaning windows with bottled window cleaner and a cloth left smears so tried cleaning with water, window cleaner and a squeegee which involved putting towels down to catch the water, better results but messy. This is really good, mix Karcher glass cleaner (which is brilliant) with water in the spray bottle provided, mop over with microfibre cloth at the front of the bottle and run the window vac (switched on obviously) down like a squeegee to remove water. All water sucked into tank on the vac, no dribbles, no mess. So quick and easy.
There is a knack to using this though and not gonna say its 100% streak free, but almost and a quick wipe over with a clean dry cloth on any streaks left (usually around the edges where you start with the vac) and they’re quickly gone. The key skill I’ve noticed is don’t go too slow, just go at same speed as using a normal squeegee and hold as flat as you can to the window. After a few goes you get used to it.
Overall not perfect but a lot better than any other method I’ve used and my windows are sparkling clean. Highly recommended.
Battery life 100% better than the wv2 and I like it has three lights to let you know how the charge is one charge seems to lady double the amounts of time of the wv2 all in all good buy
This has made my life so much easier, I can’t stop cleaning windows and mirrors. Instructions were very poor and need improving. Apart from that I love it.
I had spent 5 hours trying to clean windows with a steamer and it looked worse than when I started so I decided to give Karcher a go and I had done all the windows in 30 mins and they sparkled.
Very useful in showers. Good battery life. Replacement for 7 year older model. Like battery change indicator and wider head so quicker to clean.
Thought about buying one of these for ages wish I bought it sooner. Easy to use great suction. Only downside did leave marks on the edges. Nothing major easily wiped off. Worth a buy.
My mother said buy cheap buy twice and that’s what I did,bought a cheaper window vac on Amazon didn’t last 2mins before it stopped working gone back to a karcher as they are much better quality worth the extra money
Good product although it does leave water marks, unless it’s me.
bought this as previous one wasnt as effective,leaving too many streaks-the suction is better with thios model,and the 2 heads are a good idea
It’s lightweight, easy to hold and use.
I have, bit by bit, been cleaning all the windows and glazed doors to my house and summerhouse. I have so far cleaned 3 sets of French doors and 4 large windows, inside and out. The battery indicator is still showing full charge and the glass is streak free.
Even the detergent sprayer/cleaning mop, which when I unpacked it I thought “that’s tiny!” Has been more than up to the job. I’ve only filled it once to clean all the windows I mentioned earlier, and there’s still some left in the spray bottle.
I would give this 6 stars if I could, it’s brilliant.
brilliant, brought this to take condensation of my caravan windows, worked brilliantly, so much better and quicker than wiping down with a cloth.
can’t wait to use it to clean my windows at home too
Does exactly what they say. Bit pricey! But worth it.
This is a brilliant tool. We use it to dry the walk-in shower after use. It works brilliantly. I have also used it on the patio door.
Bought primarily for use in the campervan to remove condensation in the mornings, it’s also a great little tool for cleaning windows, mirrors, and any shiny surface in your home. The black muck left in the tank makes me realise how grimy they were, despite regular usual cleaning!
I hate cleaning windows, the window leather duster etc, never able to get a smear free finish and the time. So I gave the Karcher window vac a go. Oh my what a revelation. On one battery charge I managed the whole 4 bedroom house top to bottom. The tackle from Karcher made it a breeze, simple spray the diluted cleaner on the window, swish over with the micro fibre head and then in two strokes of the Window vac it was done! I was so pleased I could not stop, even the 20ml concentrate lasted for all the windows. I enjoyed myself so much all the mirrors got a going over. The streak and smudges which were forever present on the patio doors, always visible in the sun light had vanished. I have bought more of the concentrated cleaner I was so impressed. This is a great piece of kit, male female or gender neutral whoever does the windows listen up, this really is a game changer and it’s got a load of replacements should anything go wrong but with a two year guarantee that’s not going to be an issue. Overall a great buy from a great company, their power washers are brilliant too!
This is soooo good, I’ve no idea how I’ve got by without it. Not having this is like not having a washing machine, it’s like the dark ages. I flew round the house doing windows and mirrors in no time at all. Cleaning these things manually would have taken me an hour, I did it in 10 mins with the Karcher, and the results were excellent. Really pleased with my Karcher purchase, and I’ll be able to do the windows more often than I used to.
Was sceptical as too how well it would clean the glass but I’m convinced.
I purchased mine to remove condensation from windows and shower, it works a treat, I do have to use it sideways at the lower parts but as long as there is not much water in tank this is not a problem, The battery is very long lasting and powerful. I wish I had bought this one years ago.
I like it a lot cleans windows counter tops great machine
A very good product that cleans wter from all sorts of surface but especially windows. Finish is generally very good but this is my one mine gripe comes in. W”hen cleaning windows with a sill the head cannot rech the bottom because of the sill so you have to tuyrn it sideways which does not give such a good finish. Other than that this works really well.
I bought this for cleaning the outside of my windows. Only used once, so far.
Very pleased with it, it makes the job much quicker and I can reach the awkward areas much better.
Would be good if it came with a wrist strap to attach to the handle.
Not too heavy. So glad I bought it.
I am very impressed with the Karcher WV5 . I bought it to clear the condensation off the inside of my car window and its so quick and easy to use. I’ve also used it on my house windows and I’m very impressed with it.
This has made this awful job so much easier and quicker. Very light too. Bought in sale so a real bargain. Would highly recommend.
I use the karcher to remove the condensation that forms overnight on our house windows. This latest model appears to be more efficient than the 3 or 4 previous models. Very pleased, still think they are very expensive but one is paying for the idea. Sta
One of the best things I’ve ever bought. Really easy to use and saves time when cleaning windows
This does exactly what it is intended for. Clears condensation from windows effortlesly. Love it. Very prompt delivery.
Absolutely love this window vac brilliant suction lighter than expected great for cleaning windows and tiles in shower also if u get condensation on windows I keep finding excuses to use this vac very easy to empty would highly recommend
Wow! Super impressed with this wee gadget. Windows gleaming in no time. Effortless process. If you are thinking of buying this product, just stop thinking and do it!
Easier to clean the windows, keep the mess down. Does a good job. Not keen on the supplied cleaning solution, got better results using washing up liquid solution.
I had bought a cheaper window vac and it had performed well but I saw a bargain on Amazon for a Karcher window vac and I needed one for my bathroom. What a great item! So pleased. I can’t fault it, the suction is amazing and it makes light work of tiles in the shower, it is perfect for any condensation anywhere. It’s incomparable to other brands, highly recommended.
Takes the hassle out of shining the window. I wash the window as normal with hot soapy water and then run this down it. Still need to wipe the bottom of the window with a cloth as I can’t get it past the window ledge but I really don’t mind. Could be my technique. You have to get it done while the window is still wet.
We have our windows cleaned regularly – outside, but had not really bothered with the insides. This has Karcher has been a revelation! Easy to use and it works beautifully. Also really good for houses (like ours) that suffers from condensation.
The 2nd one I’ve bought even though the old one is fine…Black Friday deal…Only recently worked out the less pressure you use against the glass the better the suction is.
Only improvement I’d like to see is a larger water tank so I don’t have to empty it as often when the condensation is really bad.
I was very sceptical about this item but have been greatly surprised by its effectiveness. The machine is quiet in operation, the pitch is pleasantly low so does not jangle the nerves. The water once sucked into the machine can be emptied down the sink so you do not have wet clothes needing to be dried which just continues to contribute to the condensation problem. I fully recommend this Karcher Vac, if you buy one I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Superb cyber Monday bargain.
This was definitely worth the price I paid, the battery lasts long enough to do 6 large windows inside and out and 4 mirrors!
The finish isn’t quite as good as doing them by hand but it makes such light work of quite an energy sapping job its no longer a job I dread doing.
The smaller head is ideal for more intricate areas like leaded windows.
Very pleased overall, highly recommended.
Very easy to use and very useful in this weather to get the car ready to drive quickly
Love it we have wet windows in the morning but not only does it take the water away it dries the window as well .
It lasts a long time also .
his was recommended to me, and has not let me down not just for cleaning windows, can be used in shower enclosure, on condensation on mirrors or windows, wall tiles and many other things.
