This would be very handy when doing the insides, no dribbles on the carpet(well not from the window)

Cool, thanks for that! So you can use any detergent with it? Im thinking of using it more for velux and conservatory roofs.

and for the perfect cleaning solution, one spray bottle almost fill with pure water , ad 2 drops of fairy, no more, and you have 100% streak free,

« **Reply #12 on:** November 27, 2009, 09:01:08 pm »

Ok, so this thing looks like a handy piece of kit for indoor cleaning, but what's the battery life and can you recharge it ?

« **Reply #13 on:** November 27, 2009, 09:04:32 pm »

it lasts for 45mins and is rechargable, am looking into running past the rechargable battery, i did this with the scrubb king, so cant see how i cant do it with this one

I bought a box full of drinking glass detergent from a cat boot. That stuff beats anything else I have tried, it's very watery, creates very few suds, and lasts for ages.
One squirt in your bucket with a drop of dishwasher rinse aid makes the best window cleaning solution ever.

ok here are some of the pics of the new indoor pole i am working on, i have still got a few things to finish of yet, this is going to be better than any indoor pole, i have still to add the washer yet, then i will video it in action,

you can put it back on the hand machine for lower work,

they will never knock you on the head the reason they have you in the first place is they can't be bothered or don't have the time to clean there own windows they just see it as a job they hate to do..

« **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2010, 10:24:06 pm »

excellent, you can replace with your own rubber if you need to, it leaves no trace of spillage or excess water, also is very light

« **Reply #24 on:** April 13, 2010, 03:32:55 am »

could you clean a conservatory with one of these without the battery charged?

« **Reply #25 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:48:59 am »

« **Reply #26 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:16:57 am »

I reckon it's one of those gimmicks you'll buy, use twice, then never touch again. I've loads of them up in the attic!

« **Reply #27 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:23:18 am »

i dont know m8,looks great perfect for inside windows,seen joe even has one on a pole
Would be great for conservatory windows.

its not a gimmick, believe me this can do just as good a job as any squeegee, lasts for 45mins on a single charge, the suction is very very powerfull, i take mine to all inside jobs, it leaves no trace of any water anywhere, i recomend it,

have you done insides of conservatories with one?does it fit on any pole?

« **Reply #34 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:00:56 pm »

if the battery runs out, you can still squeegee with it, karcher put a professional rubber on it, not the rubish you normaly get, or you can put your own brand on it

« **Reply #35 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:02:18 pm »

sorry was meaning do a conservatory on a single charge without having to charge again.

Is this used for high internals

« **Reply #46 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:52:01 pm »

james, it is hand held only, thats why i have or attempting to get it working from an extending pole, so far so good, i am now adding a double angle adaptor arm, to ad a mop to, nearly there, and if working at ground level take the head of and go back to hand held,

« **Reply #47 on:** April 19, 2010, 12:51:45 pm »

i tried it with new rubber and have to say what a great bit of kit,i have guest houses that want internal cleans so going to use this on them.

« **Reply #48 on:** April 19, 2010, 01:23:54 pm »

what rubber did you use, although i use unger soft, maybe their could be an even better rubber,

« **Reply #49 on:** April 19, 2010, 01:25:07 pm »

not sure was a spare one i had in cupboard pulex!
seems far better

« **Reply #50 on:** April 19, 2010, 01:32:52 pm »

unger has a stamped name on their rubber, reason you need very soft rubber, is on deep window sills, the karcher original rubber does not bend up at the bottom, as it is a bit to hard, to get a good suction, the unger soft lets you do this, now i have no problems, but maybe another soft rubber will do this to, all you need to learn now, is to fan with it

« **Reply #51 on:** April 19, 2010, 01:40:29 pm »

fanning is very easy with it i found!
