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

Product Information

Some models, such as the AEG Window Vaccan achieve around 60 mins of running time from one charge. This can be useful if you have several cleaning jobs to be doing in one day, although normally 30 minutes is more than enough for the majority of tasks. STEP 2– Fill the spray applicator bottle with water and cleaning solution (your favourite is fine) and clean the surface of your choice by spraying and wiping with the integrated cleaning pad. Bosch is certainly a well-known company when it comes to making quality tools, and their GlassVAC cleaning system is another well-thought-out offering from the German corporation. Bosch window vacuums score with a long battery runtime of 30 minutes. That's enough for an area of 105 square meters or for up to 35 windows.

From researching different models, I’ve got a couple of tips when it comes to choosing the best window vac. Firstly, look for a window vacuum that has a battery life of at least 30 minutes. It might not sound like much, but remember that you won’t be using the window vac continuously whilst cleaning. Still, if you think you’ll need more time than this, there are some vacuums that last up to 60 minutes, as you’ll see in the list below. It also shouldn’t be turned horizontally, according to the instructions, so it can’t be used along the window sill on its side. Which window vacuum cleaner is the best depends on various factors and, of course, the requirements of the user: There are both positives and negatives to its overall design, but in terms of performance it works very well and is capable of producing a streak-free shine on glass surfaces, which is ultimately the main aim when using these vacuums. For this reason, I’ve chosen it as the best window vacuum overall.

If condensation is a big problem in your bathroom, it’s great to get into the habit of using a window vac after every shower or bath. Cleaning the condensation from the shower, bath, mirror and sink will dramatically help reduce how much water is left to evaporate into the room. Some window vacs also come with a spray bottle that has a microfibre cloth attachment. This makes it easy to apply cleaning product evenly and can help with lifting off stubborn stains and marks. In terms of general performance, one charge will last for approximately 35 minutes, which is generally enough time to clean all of the inside windows of a standard house. This window vacuum also seems to approach the windows with relative vigour; it’s powerful enough for the 100 ml water tank to visibly contain liquid after cleaning one pane of condensation.

Here are a couple of extra tips for achieving a streak-free finish on windows and mirrors when using a window vacuum. Post-Clean Buffing This window vacuum has a very lightweight construction and it’s well designed. It has an enclosed, ergonomic handle which makes it comfortable to use. As a unit, it’s sturdy, with no separate parts or components; the only bit that disconnects is the 100 ml water tank so that it can be emptied and cleaned. As mentioned above, buffing the surface with a dry microfibre cloth is the best way to ensure a perfectly streak free finish. Don’t go in circular motions, simply run the cloth over the surface in the direction that you used to vacuum. Cleaning SolutionsThis electric window vacuum will clean off condensation, as well as dry off windows, although you may also need to have a cloth to hand as well. Tip: If you can hear a squeaking noise as you vacuum the surface, the surface isn’t wet enough. This can lead to streaks. You shouldn’t hear any squeaking when using the window vac. Extra Cleaning Tips If this has piqued your interest, below you’ll find useful information about how to choose the best window vacuum and how to get the most out of it: Uses For Your Window Vacuum If you like using your window vac on your outside windows, to keep them clean and shiny, you’ll want to be cleaning them at least 2 – 3 times per year. Of course, you can clean them more often than this, but for typical residential properties which aren’t by a train line or main road, this should be sufficient. Clean Condensation Every Time When reaching the bottom of the window, the body of the vacuum gets in the way and makes it hard to get all the water

First you need to mix a cleaning solution. This might be a window-specific cleaning solution, or warm soapy water. Experiment with different cleaners to find which delivers the best results with your vacuum. A spray bottle with a microfibre cleaning head comes included, as well as two differently-sized vacuum blades. These measure 17 cm and 28 cm across, making them slightly larger than the blades supplied with Bosch’s GlassVAC machine. Due to the inclusion of two blades, the reasonable battery life, ability to replace the battery, and the secure handle, this is one of the best cordless window vacuums in terms of versatility. The WV5’s blades are slightly larger than those of the Bosch GlassVAC, so it may not be as good for cleaning smaller windows, but otherwise it seems a comfortable and effective tool for both removing condensation and cleaning. I would advise keeping it in the space that you need it the most regularly – to make it as accessible as possible. Some options of where to keep it would be: –Most cordless window vacuum cleaners are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In general, these give an average run time of around 35 minutes. Handle design does not always make it feel secure to use at awkward angles e.g. cleaning window exterior from inside Choose the correct window vacuum head for the job. Some vacuums come with multiple heads so you’ll be able to choose between a smaller and larger blade. You may find that one of the blades has better suction power than the other, which will make it less likely to create streaks. You see, I’ve decided that from now on I’m no longer going to put up with little annoyances in my life. Life really is too short – and I want to find REAL solutions.
