Cordless Window Vac GlassVAC (for windows, tiles, mirrors and shower, running time: approx. 35 windows, in carton packaging)

A lot of reviewers compare Bosch to Karcher window vacs, and this is no exception. This replaces a Karcher WV5, which, IMHO, is a piece of junk, having literally fell apart after 18 months. A comparison with the Karcher is probably not a bad thing. Build quality: better than Karcher, both the large and small wiper sections clip on and release positively from the body of the unit (it was the large blade assembly on the Karcher which literally fell apart in use). The Bosch rubber squeegee element is soft rubber, supported by a stronger combed plastic section. I think that design makes it more efficient than the Karcher, which with its harder rubber blade used to make a noise like fingernails scratching a blackboard when going over nearly dry glass. Personally, I have never been able to get totally streak free glass after using a window vac, and have found that a follow up buffing with a microfibre cloth is required to remove residual streak marks. The Bosch rubber blade leaves fewer streak marks than the Karcher. Edge suction: I've had no issues with it sucking right to the edge of the glass. Handling: ergonomically, I have to put the Karcher slightly ahead. The Bosch body is bit "dumpy" and not as well balanced as the Karcher, but if you haven't used the Karcher previously, it would not be an issue as it feels easy enough in the hand. Tank capacity: I've read reviews in which the tank volume has been an issue. It has not been an issue for me as I am cleaning the windows of an average size house and have only had to empty the tank twice during a whole house clean. Might be a problem if you're doing a block of flats. Emptying the tank: The reservoir section is easy to empty and to clean. On the Karcher, to empty the reservoir completely, it had to be disassembled from the body of the unit, a right faff. Battery life: As per the last paragraph, the battery lasted throughout a whole session and still had capacity to spare. Accessories: comes supplied with cleaning bottle with pads attachment, no cleaning agent included. Again, to be fair, the Karcher equivalent is better, as I found the Bosch bottle spray nozzle tends to dribble a bit regardless of the spray setting, but that is a minor niggle. I like the wrist strap attachment: useful if you've to use it for awkward windows which need accessing outside panes from inside the room. In conclusion I like the Bosch as it is well constructed, reasonably ergonomic and easy to use, not very heavy and has a decent battery life. The price seems reasonable, £56 at time of purchase. This review is based on initial impressions in Sept '20 . If it fails or falls apart, I'll edit the review.

ممتاز جدا جدا انصح فيه بقوة 👍

Alles bestens gewesen 👍🏻

This is an excellent machine cleans very well and leaves no marks or smudges. Not too noisy and keeps battery for a long time too. Used it on house windows internally and it’s made them look brand new after years of being unable to get rid of smudges. Excellent value
