Nothing stopping a customer using a £1.00 squeegee or microfibre cloth

all the customers i deal with are not interested in cleaning their own windows ( thats why they pay me )
because a.  old or disabled  or b. too ruddy lazy with cash to burn

a Karcher won't change this - in fact, thinking about it, i have a customer who has a karcher window vac and
still gets me to clean the insides - using a... urm.... Karcher window vac

the karcher is great to work with don't forget you now have an extension pole  to work with  plus a smaller head for the smaller  panes  you also need to discard their rubber blade and replace with an unger soft
here is my karcher custys love it

It's a good idea putting your own rubber in.

which rubber blade do you buy? thanks

[jouk45]

unger soft reason why is because it lets you right into the frame to suck every drop of liquid where as their original rubber is to stiff and stops it getting down to the bottom of the frame,

I don't know how pro windies need a house wife gadget. If you're in a trade, and can't perform your trade until someone invents a gadget like that, what did you think when you got into WCing?

I've seen all the gadgets for painters and decorators on TV ads. If the guy you hire to paint your house rocks up with one of those, would you feel relaxed about it?

There's a certain amount of skill needed to use a blade on the insides. Been doing it for years and if you have a problem with the level of skill needed, just put a towel or bed cover down infront of the window to be cleaned!

I'd feel embarrassed to turn up to a job and pull out tools like that. WFP is a good tool for outside jobs, but it's made the trade easy to get into for people with a fear of heights, two left hands and no hand/eye co-ordination. No problem there, but it's developed a group of us that can't get insides cleaned without some crap 20 minute gadget from JML TV!!

Imagine your decorator tipping up to work on your house using this!!

well you be embarrassed  Chris P Bacon while i make lots of money  and that i do, i have been in this game a long time and i have a lot of knowledge see this is the problem trad guys think i have been in the trade for so many years nothing can beat it well you are wrong, the karcher has its place not everything but does save a lot of time, hey i still trad am a wagtail user so don't knock it until you know how to use it  

[C o z y]

I would be embarrassed Joe.You stick to JML TV tat, and I'll do what I'm good at 

[Michael Peterson]

i laughed at the post saying the squeegy wont be around in 15 years

[jouk45]

another thing to remember 20 mins is continues use from start to battery finishes that is a long time i can do 5 large houses with that almost a £100 a day   i have use the karcher now for 4 years the same one never had a problem of any breakdowns it speaks for itself germans products are not crap and do work.

i think ill stick to mop and squeegee for the few inside cleans i do!

i could see it being good for inside conny roofs and inside velux windows but i dont clean any so its a big fat NO!from me!

fair play to the guys that do though.why not?if it makes your working day easier?all depends on your type of work surely?

very true dazmond i never thought i would ever have a use for it, but i adapted it and turned it into a use for my situations, i  have the professional tools but this little gadget has its place
