I have been looking at these new gadgets with interest. Basically a rubber squeegie with a vac behind it to suck up the water when cleaning the windows. It works on a rechargable battery.
I thought this could be a great device for cleaning up the large windows on A Class motorhomes, or any other motorhome for that matter.
I usual put on the front screen but in winter. But during the summer i like to see the sun shine in the mornings and sometimes have condensation on the windows
Squeegie with a van behind it???? This I must see!
(Sorry Stewart - obviously a typo!)
Spykal has just bought one and he raves about it - so much so that I have one on order from Amazon. He's a picky bu$$er (in the nicest possible way ) so if he says they are brilliant, that's good enough for me.

You were on the ball Dave. I read the post then quickly edited it. Perhaps I should have left it for fun.
Luckily I have just logged on for a minute or two so you can hear it from the horses!
Zeb has said it ...but just to confirm...I love gadgets too and this one has to be the very best one I have bought for ages. I just works.
Tips ...the one you are looking at is the basic one and for doimng house windows you will nedd to get a spray bottle, some suitable detergent and an applicator ( a bar with a fluffy head). The more expensive pack comes with these extras ...but being a skinflit I knew I had the bits I needed already.
The Ebuyer one looks the cheapest but it does not include delivery ...so Amazon is the cheapest as they offer free del ( I got mine from Ebuyer only because they gave me a free next day delivery as a birthday pressie ...that was good of em! wasn't it)
I was going to post about it when I got chance as one of the really good uses for it would be in those motorhomes where condensation is a pain...as in big front windows on an A class where the owner does not have a silver screen... the Karcher would be brilliant for sucking up all that water from the screen and other non double glazed windows.
But back to window cleaning... the battery lasts about 20 minutes on a full charge .... but that is enough to do half of our house inside and out ... so I did all the back then took a rest, recharged then did all the front ...and I got a pat on the back when SWMBO retured home ....she could find NO streaks at all. Its good for mirrors too. Really well designed and put together .... Get one you won't be dissapointed.

P.S. check out youtube ...lots of glowing review vids there

It gets some amazing reviews on Amazon. I don't think I've ever seen a product with so many 4/5 stars. So it might just be one of those gadgets that does what it says it will.

snip: I'd like to get one just to see if sucking water up makes that big a difference when cleaning house windows?
Hi Jason
I really could not believe just how much difference that little bit of suction made... it allows me to use the best method* of cleaning windows without making any mess both inside and out.
The secret of the Karcher is in the clever design of the double "blade" that has small suction holes all along its length. ....so simple but it works.
Its so good that every time a mate has arrived here I have demostrated it ...the kitchen window has never been so clean
Mike
* Rain water, a little detergent and a little elbow grease

snip: Spykal claims actually to enjoy cleaning the windows now. Couldn't persuade him to come over and do ours though . . . the miserable old git!!
Dave
I do ...I do, and Zeb I know I am old (ish) even a bit of a git but "miserable" ....where's that report button
