Cleaning windows is a chore.

A window vacuum can be a relief: Here you get streak-free window panes without a big mess and dripping rags.

Can the tested models keep what the manufacturers promise?

With classic window cleaning, the window has to be rubbed dry with chamois leather or a lot of newspaper, which is quite exhausting in the long run.

If you use a squeegee instead, the dirty water runs onto the carpet or window sill.

Window vacs, on the other hand, suck in the liquid directly behind the rubber lip when it is pulled off.

However, the water must not be drawn from the window too quickly, otherwise the device will not be able to suck in everything and streaks will remain on the window.

What makes a good window vacuum?

On the one hand, the processing quality is of course important: You should pay attention to whether gaps can be seen between individual parts on the vacuum cleaner, how easily the individual parts can be separated from each other and how well the switches can be operated.

In addition, the battery life is a crucial point.

Most models run for 20 to 30 minutes.

This is sufficient for most apartments and houses, since the vacuum cleaner only runs when you actually pull the water off the windows.

If you have a larger house or particularly large window areas, you should choose a model with a longer battery life or, alternatively, consider purchasing a removable battery.

It takes several hours to recharge the batteries.

Another criterion is the weight: Does the device lie comfortably in the hand, does it not become too heavy even after prolonged use and can it be operated without fatigue?

Ultimately, a window vacuum should make cleaning windows easier and not difficult.

Window vacs in the test: The WV 6 Plus from Kärcher is convincing

The test portal AllesBeste tested 21 window vacs together with the editorial team.

The

favorite is the WV 6 Plus from Kärcher

.

It offers a large, removable waste water tank and flawless workmanship.

The model has a long battery life and impresses with streak-free results.

It is very convenient to use, which is also helped by the LED display for the charge level of the battery.

The only point of criticism: the device is neither small nor particularly light.

Another recommendation is the AEG WX7 90: This model impresses above all with its battery life and the very low operating volume.

The larger battery makes it the perfect vacuum cleaner for apartments and houses with large windows.

In addition, the workmanship is of high quality.

The accessories and the suction result are just as good as those of the test winner, but the AEG device is significantly more expensive than the Kärcher model.
