ViledaWindoMatic Power Window Vacuum Cleaner, Handheld and Portable Electric Window Cleaner, UK Version

We have been using the Karcher for the past 2 yrs, however, we ended-up having to regularly glue parts essential to its performance. This product has no small pieces that join the squeegee vacuum head to body - problem solved!!We hardly ever use the small head thus I purchased this; results speak for themselves. Does a smear free job & the flexible head certainly has its uses, even though I didn't think it would - its a clever, powerful, simple, reliable device that holds its charge. Arguably, better than the Karcher, all-round. No dought - Recommended!!!

Firstly, I've never used a window vac of any kind before, so have nothing to compare this product to, and I didn't particularly buy this for window cleaning, and haven't used it for that yet.The motivation for trying one was to try to improve the humidity in our house, causing excessive condensation and mould issues through winter. I didn't want to leave windows open, or run a dehumidifier.I choose this model due to it being reportedly lighter than competing models, and having decent battery life.I've now used this model for about a week. No battery complaints, but I've charged it after most uses so wouldn't expect to have run it flat yet.I've found it great for using in bathrooms after showers, when the walls are covered in condensed steam. Pretty quickly I can remove probably 95% of the moisture in the room, preventing the room from feeling damp and humid for ages (even leaving extractor fans running) and surely significantly reducing the moisture that escapes to the rest of our house that's been giving us condensation and mould issues. Time will tell if this practice after showers will make a difference, but I'm confident right now, given how dry the air seems once I've vacced up the water.I've also been using it on windows in the mornings to collect condensation now winter's kicked in. I've found I can't vac the condensation without there always being some residual water left when I lift the head away from the glass, so I have a cloth to hand to just mop up the dregs. Works just fine like that, and maybe with practise I'll get better at it, but ideally it would suck everything completely dry and not leave a wet edge.I've found that you can use this model horizontally and upside down without issue, but it has a max fill level and if you're approaching that when inverting the unit you will get some water blowing out of the vents. Not a big deal, and can be prevented by making sure the tank has plenty of headroom below the max fill line before inverting.Emptying the tank is quick and easy, so the fairly small capacity is not a problem.For now then I'm giving it 4 stars. I'm pleased with it, glad I bought it, but think to give 5 stars I'd want a drier finish when vaccing condensation off windows, and an optional narrower head would be good because a few of my windows are narrower than the 27cm head. I can still vac them horizontally, but it's just not quite as easy.

I get a lot of condensation on my windows and I was fed up of using a cloth every morning to try and dry them. This handy gadget gets them dry in seconds, not soggy cloths to worry about. It loses 1 star because it’s a bit tricky to get the bottom part of the window, next to the sill, dry. The head does tilt slightly but not enough and you have to do the bottom of the window whilst holding the vacuum horizontally, which can cause it to drip. It’s still a vast improvement and I’ve found that I get a lot less condensation on my windows now as well.

My former was a yellow and black unit🤫This one exceeds in every way, all but one do far.Suction superior to rival brand, it has two strengths. Albeit if you use on stronger suction, it does tax the battery more.So, streak free? We’ll look, they will all do a bit of streaking and this one does too. But that said, it’s only a little and overtakes it’s rival.Nice and light to hold, easy to empty.The only negative here is, if you are using the appliance on its side, as sometimes it’s required; be careful when the water tank is full as it will spray water from the tank via the air holes, all over you! Oh and don’t leave the water in the chamber, especially as if it’s full, apart from the possibility of smelling of stagnant water, if full, I’ve found it to leak.If it wasn’t for the aforementioned I would have given 5 stars. Easy rectified though, don’t use on side when full.

I was debating and undecided wether to get a Karcher Window Vac as it seemed to be on sale for quite a bit.I snapped this one up on Black Friday for £20 and I got an absolute bargain!I use it for my windows in my small porch for its first use and I couldn't believe how good a job it did. It wasn't millimetre perfect when you go into the corners but it didn't leave any streaks and left the window near spotless.Also tried it on the bath screen and was perfect again.Its very light and the resovoir that collects the water takes a while to fill which is good.The unit is all one piece too so theres no need to remove or add parts.Would recommend!
