We think the best window vac is the Kärcher WV2 Plus N Yellow. It provides great cleaning performance, along with a useful smaller blade for cleaning corners. If you need a longer battery life, the WV5 Plus N is a semi-professional model that also comes with a removable battery. And if you’re looking for a budget model, the Vileda WindoMatic provides excellent value.

Cleaning extras: Many window vacs come with cleaning bottles, microfibre pads and even their own branded cleaning spray. While useful, these extras are unlikely to perform any better than the stuff you already have in your cleaning cupboard. How does it perform though? In general, it’s an excellent window vac. The primary blade really does reduce streaks, while the suction provides ample power for cleaning windows. Extendable pole: A few models on our list come with, or are compatible with, telescopic or multi-section poles to help you reach high windows and skylights without wobbling up a ladder. On the downside, a pole can make the vac hard to control, especially if it’s heavy.Another useful extra is that the WV 6 Plus N comes with both the regular 280mm suction nozzle and a smaller option. This, combined with the spray bottle kit and long battery life, makes it one of the most versatile window vacuums on the market. Most importantly, it does a great job of removing liquid from windows without leaving smears. The flexible head is surprisingly useful for cleaning difficult locations, and it’s built to a high-standard, so should last a long time. As you would expect from a Karcher window vac, the WV 6 is well-suited to cleaning glass, tiles and mirrors around the home. It also has the company’s Edge Guidance system, comfortable handle and a minute-by-minute battery charge indicator. The Vileda Windomatic Power is the easiest way to achieve streak-free results after cleaning windows, shower screens and smooth surfaces such as tables and kitchen worktops. Now with two power levels and a powerful Li-ion battery, the Windomatic Power can clean up to 120 windows on one charge; double that of the previous Windomatic. The water tank can be easily detached and is dishwasher safe.

LED charge indicator: Useful for revealing how much longer the battery will last before it needs a recharge.Finally, if you are working on the inside of your home, remember to place an old towel on the ground to absorb any excess water. Wipe the window dry using the clean, rubber-bladed squeegee side of the handheld 2-in-1 cleaner. You’ll notice the cleaner has a trapezoidal shape to better reach corners. Angle the squeegee towards the bottom of the window and work from top to bottom. After, wipe the squeegee with a clean, dry towel at the bottom of each pass. The 2-in-1 Window Cleaner comes with a super useful handle which will extend your reach up to 160cm. It also has a flexible head that will get to those awkward tough spots. A downside is that the WV6 doesn’t have a removable battery. While the 100-minute run-time is enough for most jobs, choose the WV5 if you want to swap batteries during a job. It’s also not the cheapest window vacuum on the market, although we think it provides good value.

If you’re looking for a budget window vacuum, then an alternative to the Kärcher window vac range is the Vileda WindoMatic. With enough battery to clean up to 120 windows on a single charge, it’s great for cleaning all the windows in a home in a single session. It also provides decent cleaning performance and suction power, along with a “MAX” mode for an extra boost in suction. Accessories and Tools. A window vacuum cleaner maycome with extras such as a smaller blade (for cleaning in corners), microfibre cloths, squeegee, and detergents. While these aren’t essential, they can make cleaning much faster. What’s the easiest way to clean your windows? Paper towels and a good spray cleaner, right? Wrong. Not only is this method one of the most expensive and wasteful ways, but it’s also one of the least effective.Suction power is excellent and you get oodles of extras in the box, including a smaller head and microfibre attachment. However, what pushes the Bosch behind the Karcher and Vileda in our list is its failure, reported by some users, to clean quite as well to the very edges of your windows. Window vacuums have grown in popularity in recent years, as they allow you to clean windows and other flat surfaces much faster than traditional methods. If you’re tired of wiping down windows and stillgetting a streaky finish, a window vac could be a great choice.
