"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."

Three steps to a streak-free shine

Preparation is everything: for the best possible cleaning results, the glass pane or surface must first be wetted and pre-cleaned. Only then does the WV battery-powered window cleaner come into play and the dirty water can be vacuumed up. There are two options for optimum pre-cleaning: the Standard spray bottle and the Extra spray bottle.

Spray glass pane using the spray bottle.

1. Spray on

First, spray detergent onto the glass pane.

Clean glass pane with the spray bottle attachment.

2. Clean

Then wipe the window.

Vacuum the glass pane using Kärcher Window Vac.

3. Vacuum

Then vacuum up the dirty water. Done!

Extension kit

Reach up high without a ladder: the extension kit with a reach of up to 1.50 m is perfect for high, hard-to-reach places such as conservatories or skylights.

WV_1_Compact_short_extention_window_app_03_CI20-Screen.jpg

Short extension kit

Greater reach with full control: the short extension kit is the handy solution for hard-to-reach places. Its minimal weight allows for ultra-precise work.

Narrow suction nozzle

The narrow suction nozzle for our battery-powered window cleaners is the ideal choice for lattice windows, narrow glass inserts on doors or display cases – in fact, anywhere where maximum precision is required in a small space.

Extra spray bottle set

Spraying and wiping with a single tool: the ideal solution for efficient pre-cleaning. The clever combination of spray bottle and microfibre wiping cloth removes dirt effortlessly so that every surface is ideally prepared for subsequent vacuuming.

Outdoor microfibre wiping cloth

Power for outdoors: the abrasive Outdoor microfibre wiping cloth reliably removes pollen and environmental dirt. Even stubborn incrustations can be easily pre-cleaned with the dirt scraper.

Indoor microfibre wiping cloth

A gentle shine for your home: the Indoor microfibre wiping cloth is ideal for mirrors, glass tables and all smooth surfaces indoors. It is thorough yet gentle in loosening dirt, then picks it up without leaving any residue.

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!

Thanks a million (x 25!)

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!

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does cleaning with a Window Vac compare to cleaning with paper towels?

Cleaning with paper towels requires a lot of physical effort, is time-consuming and inefficient. The results are usually less than satisfactory, leaving behind streaks as well as lint. Additionally, there is a lot of waste, often a trash can full of expensive paper towels!

The Window Vac cleans windows 3X faster and eliminates the need for paper towels. All you need is the Window Vac, spray bottle and cleaning solution, which is all included. You'll enjoy sparkling streak-free windows with minimal effort and no mess!

What can the Window Vac clean other than windows?

The Window Vac is a multi surface cleaner and excels at cleaning windows, of course, but is also great for cleaning:

mirrors
shower doors and tiles
kitchen surfaces
appliance doors
glass tables
vehicle windows
other solid, flat surfaces around the home

Please note that the Window Vac should NOT be used to pick up:

large spills (use a wet/dry vac instead)
harmful or caustic liquids (including rubbing alcohol and bleach)
solid matter

How much does the Window Vac weigh?

The WV1 Window Vac is very light, weighing in at just a little over a pound! (17 ounces) This makes it easy for users of all ages to hold and operate.

The WV6 Plus and WV6 Premium weigh only slightly more (1.7 pounds) due to their longer battery run times.

How long will the Window Vac operate after a full charge?

The WV 1 Window Vac provides up to 30 minutes of continuous cleaning time after a full charge. That is more than sufficient to clean the windows in an average-size home.

For even more cleaning power, the WV 6 Plus and WV 6 Premium clean up to 100 minutes on a single battery charge!

Popular Accessories for the WIndow Vac

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.
