am sure it would jeff, here jeff i found a way of adding it to almost any pole without damaging the unit, will try and get pics of it up at the weekend, this will be better than any inside pole
-
This would be very handy when doing the insides, no dribbles on the carpet(well not from the window)

it leaves no water, it is very powerful, and the rubber is ettor, am really surprised how good it is

Be really handy for velux. Can you use any detergent? Where did you buy it from, any links?
-
Google is a very good start just google whats in the heading

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, 8)
-
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 ?
-
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,

-
it keeps my mind active, and my pocket empty ;D this will be a good one
-

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..

-
how good are these?
cheers
-
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
-
could you clean a conservatory with one of these without the battery charged?
-
this looks very very handy indeed
-
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!
-
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,
-
could you clean a conservatory with one of these without the battery charged?
why it would be the same as a normal blade then ???
-
thanks jo im gonna order one,how easy is it to put on a pole?
have you done insides of conservatories with one?does it fit on any pole?
-
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
-
sorry was meaning do a conservatory on a single charge without having to charge again.

no they are made for hand held use, the pole is my own idea, i also think jeff brimble is working on a similar idea
-
yes will handle a full con fully charged
-
hi can you please tell me how easy it is to put this unit on a pole? have just won a new contract with lots of indoor glass.
thanks
-

have it on charge but had a quick go and to be honest i thought it left a few smears!
yes will handle a full con fully charged
-

£66.90 from toolshop.com
will have a go with a unger rubber.
i have charged for over 3 hours and when in use has red light on.is that right?
normally means to charge?
how much did you get it for, i changed the rubber to unger soft,
-
3 hours is fully charge, dont leave it on, the red indicator stops flashing when full,
-
;D
Cheers m8 its a great bit of kit
-
Is this used for high internals
-
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,
-
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.
-
what rubber did you use, although i use unger soft, maybe their could be an even better rubber,
-
not sure was a spare one i had in cupboard pulex!
seems far better
-
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 ;D
-
fanning is very easy with it i found!
