Karcher window vac, WV60 B&Q

Banjo String

Was headed in to pick one of these up today in woodies, but as I was next to a b and q I said I'd pop in out of curiosity.

They have window vac WV60 models for €64 reduced from €119 (i think is what it was on the promo)

As you can see from the attached pics it comes with a fair few accessories etc.

Gets decent enough reviews on Amazon too.

Just thought I'd give a heads up to all you bargain hunters.

My local Tesco has it for E49 and E44 for the model without the accessories.

Thanks, picked up WV60 in Tesco Drogheda for €49.50.

After using it around the house, it's a nifty little gadget but not strictly necessary. Also very awkward to clean the outside of the upstairs windows from inside.

Amalgam

Available in large, 'bargain bin', mixed with a clutch of Belkin Routers, Bloomfields, Dun Laoghaire, South County Dublin. Middle of the store, middle of the main cross aisle.

I didn't catch the price, but I think it was under fifty euro.

vicvatson, I don't know for sure, but I see there is a version comparison table in Amazon that might be useful:

Are these as good as advertised, i.e. do they do a good job of cleaning the window and leaving it streak free?

Would they be any use for a curved window (car windshield etc)?

vicwatson

^^ Yes they can, and are pretty good at it too.

Staplor

Not great on the inside of the car window, because of manoeuvring with the dash and rear view mirror. On the outside it's perfect though.

I had to visit a few Tesco's today before I found a WV60 on the shelf, none in Clarehall or Artane, Balbriggan has WV50's at €44 and Drogheda still has 3 WA60's at €49.95. I've tried it and seems to work very well.

If you walk up the car accessories isle they are 3/4 the way down on the left hand side.

I have one of these more than a year now and find it great. Use it every day to dry the shower door and the condensation off the windows in bathroom ... 30 second job. Use it for window cleaning too and its great. Bargain at these prices. Karcher much more innovative than dyson imho - patio cleaner and this yoke are top gadgets.

Wex has WV60 @ € 66.00 and WV50 @ € 44.25

Why is it € 66 in Wex and Drogheda has them at € 49.95??

They've been there for a few days and surprisingly they're not exactly walking out the door.

Money must be tight all round..

My dad bought one of these today. He recently had a home extension so has a 5m wide tilt and slide door to the back garden. It's a lot of glass with a glazed screen above it too extending into the pitch of the roof, anyway, that's another story.

I tried the unit today on one panel. It's very good IMO. I only done one internal panel as he he waiting on a few finishing touches so no point doing the whole lot. I'd recommend.

Woodies have a 'Hoover' Window Vac on offer. Down from €80 to €35. Bought one. Some amount of kit for the price. Comes with some accessories too. Feels really heavy duty.

How is this working, or have you tried it yet?

mydogjack

Yeah, it's not too bad at all. If you move to quick it will leave a streak, but if you take your time it works pretty well. Pretty impressed for the price tbh.

redzer

Tesco Balbriggan have 3 of the Karcher WV60 scanning at 49.50. Upstairs beside the vacuum cleaners.

stooge

The wv50 karcher window vac is in tesco for 33e. Not a bad price. 3 left in tesco (athlone)

adox

Seen this version on amazon.de which seems a decent price compared to elsewhere. Anyone familiar with this model?

I couldn't find the Karcher Window Vac in my local Tesco, so I ended up buying it in B&Q for €63.75.

I eagerly got stuck into cleaning the windows in my apartment this afternoon. The outside of them were pretty mank to be honest. The Window Vac did a great job. It sucked up a lot of liquid and dirt, and left very streaks. It's very light as well. I'm very pleased with it. The spray bottle to put cleaning solution in is handy to have. I can't see myself using the microfibre cloth much, I prefer to just use a cheap cleaning cloth and chuck it in the bin afterwards.

These are down to €21.20 for the model without accessories now in tesco.

For what it is worth Argos have the WV2 down to €62.

They seem to have decent stock too.

Check stock

skyblueflyer

Does anyone know if this offer is still available in Tesco?

branners69

Was just in the Tesco in Jervis and I got the last WV50 for €11.06!

Might be worth checking other Tescos.

Slipshaney

Any in cork?

somejoke

Do you have to use Karcher Glass cleaner concentrate, 1 x 20 ml for this or can you make your own and get good results.

Which is best, the WV50 or the 60

I used some other glass cleaning solution and it works fine.

The WV50 and the WV60 are the same, except you get a smaller nozzle (170mm) along with the cleaning solution, cloth and spray bottle with the WV60. The detergent, cloth and bottle are things you could have yourself for cleaning windows. The smaller nozzle is handy though for cleaning tighter spaces.

Keep an eye in tescos, picked up one as a gift for €24 in Nenagh a couple of weeks ago (WV60 model with accessories). It hadn't been on the shelf the week before so i guess it was found in the back and put out.

Slipshaney

Thanks for that - thats a super price....Ive seen the WV2 with accessories in Halfords for €59 recently alright
