"I Tried This Window Vacuum, and my Sliding Glass Door Has Never Been Cleaner"


"The Karcher WV 1 Plus leaves my glass windows streak-free and sparkling clean."

New York Magazine / Strategist

"... it has become my go-to tool in keeping my shower clean. Think of it as a squeegee on steroids."

"It sucks up excess water so you can also get rid of mirror condensation in no time, and you can use it to clean bathroom tiles or kitchen counters, too — anything with excess water, really."

Professional window cleaning – DIY

If the thought of cleaning your windows sounds overwhelming, you might consider paying a professional service $200 or more to clean your windows. One time.

Once you realize how easy it is to use a window cleaning vacuum, you'll appreciate this time-saving DIY option (and save money as well)! 

Imagine getting streak-free, spot-free and lint-free windows in a third of the time you used to spend. And because it's so easy, you're likely to clean more often, keeping your home windows crystal clear year-round.

PowerSqueegee® Technology

Most experts agree – cleaning windows with a squeegee is much better than cleaning with (expensive!) paper towels, rags or newspapers. 

Squeegees greatly reduce the time required to clean, and the spot-free and lint-free results speak for themselves. 

But regular squeegees have a couple of big drawbacks – streaks and drips. 

Our PowerSqueegee technology vacuums up the dirty fluid as you clean, so the fluid can't streak along the edges or drip down on the window casing. No streaks. No Drips. Problems solved!

Karcher Window Vac Power Squeegee Technology

Thanks a million (x 25!)

Kärcher invented the world's first window vacuum in Germany and initially launched it in Europe in 2008. It was a unique concept that went on to define a whole new category of cleaning products. 

In 2010 the first Window Vac (model WV50) was sold in the US. 

Today more than 25 million Kärcher Window Vacs have been sold worldwide. Our customers rave about how they no longer dread cleaning their windows. We hope you will too!

Charged up & ready to go

Our Window Vacs are powered by durable, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. 

A full battery charge should provide enough power to clean all the windows in an average-sized US home.

The battery is designed to last the lifetime of the product, so it never needs to be changed.

After you finish cleaning, simply plug in the included adapter cable and your Window Vac will be ready and waiting for the next round!

Plays well with others

Yes, you can use your favorite cleaning solution with the Window Vac! 

We're partial to our Window Cleaner Concentrate for it's superior cleaning and protective qualities (not to mention fresh scent!), as well as its ability to help remove dirt. But we know many people will want to use their favorite store-bought or homemade window cleaner. 

Rest assured – you can use your favorite brand of window cleaner or homemade vinegar and water solution. The cleaning process is the same as shown in the three steps above.

Let's make one thing clear

No one likes dirty windows – they spoil the view of spring flowers and winter wonderlands. But pretty much everyone hates cleaning windows.

When we ask homeowners which chore they dread the most, cleaning the windows is usually at or near the top of the list.

Kärcher Window Vacs take the pain out of cleaning even really dirty windows! These rechargeable squeegees are both easy (dare we say fun?) to use and reduce your cleaning time by up to 3X. You'll enjoy spotless, streak-free windows with the minimum amount of effort.

Window Vac Extension Cleans Overhead Window

Accessories and Window Cleaner Concentrate

Our battery-powered Window Vacs contain everything you need to clean most home windows – but what if you need to clean overhead windows that are difficult to reach?

Our Window Vac Extension Pole makes cleaning high windows a breeze. You can use the extension pole to both apply cleaning solution and then to vacuum it away with the Window Vac attached. Forget climbing around on ladders to clean your overhead windows – this Window Vac extension kit enables you to clean quickly and safely from ground level. 

While you can certainly use your favorite brand of cleaning solution with the Window Vac, many users prefer our specially formulated Window Cleaner Concentrate. It cleans brilliantly and also makes rain run off more quickly (and keeps windows and other surfaces clean longer!), while imparting a natural fresh scent.

If you have smaller pane windows (like those on French doors), consider adding the optional WV1 Small Suction Nozzle or WV 6 Small Suction Nozzle to your Window Vac. 

Finally, don't forget your outside windows! We offer special Window Vac Pads for Outdoor Use to tackle more stubborn dirt, mud and residue.
