Part of Kärcher’s WV range, the WV5 is a cordless window vacuum that sits above the entry-level models and competes with the likes of the Vileda Windomatic for streak-free glass, tiles and shower screens. This one is refurbished from the Kärcher Outlet, so expect a unit that’s been checked and tested for function; refurbished stock typically means it may show light cosmetic marks from returns or handling, but should be fully working.
Who is this for?
If you’re fed up with smears from cloths and paper towels, a window vac makes sense: you spray, wipe, then vacuum away the dirty water rather than pushing it around. The WV5’s appeal is speed on larger panes and less drips on frames and sills, which is especially noticeable on shower glass and patio doors.
- Cordless format keeps it nimble for mirrors, tiles and car glass without trailing leads.
- Refurbished savings can be worthwhile if you’re not bothered by minor cosmetic wear.
