Under the Karcher brand, devices are regularly released that offer something new in the segment of cleaning equipment. An example of this is the electric windshield wiper. In essence, this is a small-sized vacuum cleaner designed to care for flat surfaces. The target object can be not only glass with a mirror, but also tiles with window sills. In the process, the Karcher WV 50 Plus glass cleaner gently collects liquid from the surface, leaving dry and clean streaks without stains.
Device package
Cleaning the house is rarely limited to one or two operations. Usually it provides for a whole range of activities, part of which is the care of windows and tiles. Therefore, German designers tried to maximize the capabilities of their wiper. In addition to the Karcher WV 50 Plus model, the manufacturer offers several nozzles, microfiber cloths and an extension cord. Especially for spraying cleaning agents on window surfaces, it is recommended to combine the main tool with a spray gun equipped with a microfibre nozzle. This combination allows you to conveniently apply the detergent, then wipeglass surfaces with special wipes.
Optional accessories
As an additional option, a suction nozzle is provided, with which the user can effectively work with vents, partitioned double-glazed windows and other small surfaces. If you plan to clean windows located at an inaccessible height, then it is better to provide the Karcher WV 50 Plus cleaner with an extension kit. An auxiliary device will allow you to perform equally high-quality washing at a height of more than two meters.
Operating instructions
The workflow is simple and includes only three basic steps. First of all, the target surface is treated with a cleaning agent. Abundant application is not required - just moisten the working area. Again, the atomizer supplied with the kit as an optional accessory will help in this matter. The next step is to clean the glass. It is recommended to perform it with microfiber cloths. After the main layer of dirt is removed, you can start using the Karcher WV 50 Plus tool. The instruction recommends assembling the liquid with movements from the top down. If we are talking about hard-to-reach places, then transverse actions can also be performed. To ensure that the device does not stop working prematurely during operation, you should also take care of the battery charge. As a rule, the full energy capacity allows the wiper to operate for about 20 minutes. By the way,the presence of an indicator on the case informs the user about the current state of the battery.
Device maintenance manual
After performing washing operations, it is necessary to unlock the liquid suction nozzle and remove it from the separator. Next, the separator itself is removed. Removed parts should be washed under running water. It is important to consider that the main device, due to the presence of an electrical filling, is not recommended to be allowed to direct contact with abundant water flows. But the tank, in which dirt accumulates, is washed without fail after each use. After that, dry and assemble the Karcher WV 50 Plus wiper. The instruction pays special attention to the maintenance of the brushes of the device. With use, this part wears out more than others, so it should be replaced periodically. To do this, use a silicone blade to turn the element over, remove it, and then insert a new working accessory into the same place.
Positive Feedback
Traditionally, users note the overall quality of German technology. Reliable assembly, durable housing and the absence of unnecessary structural elements are perhaps the main advantages that the Karcher WV 50 Plus glass cleaner has. Reviews in terms of cleaning quality are not so unambiguous, but the absence of obvious dirt stains after cleaning is also noted by most of the owners of this device.
Emphasize users and origin althe appearance of the model with good ergonomics. It is felt that the creators focused on providing practicality, which is so important in the process of cleaning activities. And according to this characteristic, Karcher WV 50 Plus confidently leaves behind its competitors. Even the presence of a lithium-ion battery almost does not complicate the work. Firstly, it had little effect on the total mass of the cleaner. Secondly, the automated assembly of drip condensate and cleaning agent still saves time, saving the user from unnecessary manipulations.
Negative reviews
There are also feedback from users about the effectiveness of this product. Criticism mainly relates to the convenience of using additional accessories and the quality of cleaning. Regarding the first aspect, some owners of the device have difficulty using the extension kit. This is due to the fact that it increases the mass of the structure. As a result, hands get tired quickly, and washing has to be done at intervals. And here it is important to remember the short working hours of Karcher WV 50 Plus. Reviews note that 20 minutes is enough to care for easily accessible surfaces, but when working with large areas outside, you have to perform several charging sessions. In the context of poor cleaning quality, it is worth noting that this may be due to the use of unsuitable detergents. As the manufacturer himself indicates, the technique is very demanding on the chemical composition of cleaning products, and the use ofbranded blends from Karcher.
Conclusion
The conversion of traditional home appliances to electric motors with batteries is not always successful. New modifications usually suffer from a heavier design and complexity in terms of user operation. But the Karcher WV 50 Plus wiper is an exception. The integration of the battery has improved the ergonomics of the device and made the window cleaning process more efficient. But this is a general comparison of the device with the usual cleaning products, most of which, of course, are outdated. At the same time, the German development also has certain disadvantages. This applies to the quality of cleaning, which, although it does not cause any particular complaints, but the same result can be obtained when cleaning with cold towels. Another thing is that much more effort and time will be spent on this. Actually, for the sake of convenience and ease of the process, the technological glass cleaner brand Karcher was conceived.
