Karcher WV 6 Plus Window Vac
Karcher WV 6 Plus Window Vac
I was looking into getting a Window Cleaner to make cleaning windows a bit easier and quicker, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Karcher WV 6 Plus?
The reviews online seem to be pretty good, but wanted some first hand insight :)
I have the WV1 which I got to suck up condensation. It works well for that, but I wouldn't use it to clean a window, it doesn't have enough beans
Hmm, I wonder if they've managed to give it a bit more beans with the WV6 Models.
For sucking up the condensation, do you find its quite difficult to not leave any streaks?
They're fantastic. Wipe down the window with the cleaning solution and then just suction it all off. So much easier than going through 50 paper towels or newspaper.
Oh! The first raving review on here so far :)
How do you find the suction power, and how easy is it to not leave any streaks/missed spots vacuuming up ?
The suction works well. Occasionally if you’re not careful with the pressure on the glass you can leave a streak and have to go down twice.
Not sure if it’s relevant to you, but we have some very high up windows. You can get a pole attachment which works great for cleaning without getting the ladder out.
I use a scoopy plus a towel to decondense the windows, total setup cost $25
I've heard those karcher window vacs are OK though.
ok as in meh its aite?
Ok as in they do the job
We've loved our window vac, WV2 I think, for sucking condensation off the windows. Way less mess and faster job overall than squeegee plus towel and even sucks it up off the sill. Maybe not a smart buy for how expensive it is, but over however many years of mopping up windows... worth
Sounds like it's really worked for you guys :)
Ever tried cleaning the outside of your windows with it too?
No, car windows once, bathroom mirror a few times. Didn't seem like it was worth it for that.
Come to think of it, should've just posted this in the daily
I actually thought this was an advertisement at first.
Honestly, just use a towel and a simple $10 squeegee thing.
haha yeah, I saw it on the feed as I was scrolling after I had posted, and it made it look so much like an ad.
Thanks for the feedback. Seems the overall theme is they are ok, and to just do it the manual way.
I think it's fine. My parents seem to like theirs, however they might have one of the lower end models
Cool. Thanks for letting me know :)
I've got one at home, only used it the one time and wasn't really impressed with the results; but to be fair that may be down to my technique. It's basically a squeegee with a weak vacuum, and as others have said it's probably easier / cheaper / quicker just to use soap and water.
Seems to be pretty underwhelming. I was planning on using it for indoors and out, and to significantly reduce the time and mess, but it seems it may not be so worth it.
