Kärcher 26441910 Glass & Facade Cleaning Attachment, Multicoloured

Product Information

For optimal cleaning and a streak-free result, the Glass Finisher can also be used. However, the cleaning agent should not be used in direct sunlight or allowed to dry on the windows. This Kit Contains a 5m(17ft) Extension Pole, 25cm Water-Fed Brush, 25cm Single Pivot Squeegee, Cobweb Duster, Soap Dispenser, Water-Fed Bush in line Tap and User Manual. Even at that full extension, the Karcher window cleaning pole feels strong and sturdy, and because you don’t need to exert any physical pressure on the end, controlling the movement is really easy and also a lot less tiring. The fact that this tool only weighs 2.3kg also helps wit this, as does the free shoulder strap. When you buy lower budget products you have to expect a few differences between them and the higher end models. With this window cleaning pole, it is most obvious in the main material used for the pole which is ABS plastic instead of aluminium.

Most higher end window cleaning poles will be made out of metal, usually aluminium. This material is chosen because it s very lightweight, yet still strong, and has very good corrosion resistance. Once the water is flowing, it will travel up the pole and exit through the attachment at the end. The water doesn’t shoot out with much force like a the Karcher jet pipe, but there is enough water flowing out to be very helpful when it comes to scrubbing off dried on dirt and bird droppings. Cleaning the windows is a time taking the task, especially when you cannot reach them. However, there are multiple ways to clean exterior windows without using a ladder. You can first try to clean them from inside. If it’s not possible, then try one of the following ideas. Apart from a couple of silly things like this, the Hi-tech window cleaning pool is a decent bit of kit. The five-section pole is well constructed from good quality aluminium and feels nice and sturdy. There is some flex there when it is fully extended to 16ft, especially with the hose attached and the weight of the water, but that is to be expected, and again, there are easy work-arounds if it bothers you.These tools really do take the effort out of cleaning windows. Well, maybe not quite as much as my cordless pressure washer for the downstairs windows anyway, but the cheapest models can be yours for under twenty pounds, and that’s a bargain if you ask me.

This telescopic window cleaning pole can be extended from 5 to 12 feet and it never feels wrongly weighted or off balance, allowing you to keep complete control of it even at the full length. When I first saw that this was a five-section window cleaning pole, my first instincts is that that is where leaking would occur, but actually those connections are excellent and not even a sign of a drip in sight. They also feel very solid and hold the sections tightly. These are the kinds of little flaws you have to expect when you want to save money though, and it’s not the end of the world. You could quite simply buy another basic squeegee on a pole for a few quid and use it separately, and you’d still be saving money compared to many other similar products. If you already own a pressure washer, or you don’t mind buying one, you can’t really beat this product as far as window cleaning poles go, as nothing will give you the cleaning performance this telescopic jet pipe can offer.Hi-tech’s 16ft water fed window cleaning pole is a good tool that can be made a great one with a few adjustments. What I’m talking about are a few flaws that I found, but was able to find a work around, without too much hassle. Now, before we start this review proper, it is important that you know this product must be used with a pressure washer, preferably a Karcher brand one to get the best results. Saying that, the power that this tool produces does mean that you need a solid grip, but thankfully the ergonomic handle and trigger gives you just that, as does the rubber grip section on the lower part of the pole. There are no rubber coated section for extra grip on this window cleaning pole, again a cost saving thing I would say, but the plastic handle and small plastic sections along the pole are quite adequate and at the base of the handle there is a handy hanging hole for easy storage. For example, the pole is made of rust resistant aluminium and not plastic, it can be attached to a mains source to provide a constant flow of water, and comes with multiple attachments.

The Chenille microfibre scrubber can be detached from the head when it needs a wash of its own, and reattaching it takes seconds as it is connected by Velcro. So, no need for any clips or screws. Now, will this Velcro wear down with time? I would say that’s inevitable, but replacing it wouldn’t cost much.

Suitable products for conservatories

Mascarello have brought us this great little product that is easily affordable for anyone, but still has features more commonly fund on window cleaning poles that are twice the price! The squeegee attachment can be flipped over and has a long sponge on the rear side, but the squeegee itself isn’t the best and bends quite a lot, making it quite difficult to use at long lengths. Insert the pressure washer’s suction hose into the cleaning agent bottle or insert the bottle into the device’s receptacle.
