Review on Manual windshield wiper KARCHER WV 1 (1.633-001.0) by Ada Marna Maria ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality at zero, very sorry for the money spent.

With this wiper, 5 windows were washed (2-3 sashes on each window), 4 glasses in the wall set and 3 mirrors. The charge was enough, only for 3 windows, 4 glasses and 3 mirrors, then you need to wait again for 3 hours or at least 20-30 minutes to charge the wiper and finish cleaning or do it manually. At the edges of the surface to be cleaned, especially in the corners, due to the weak fit of the rubber bands, the detergent does not clean well. If there is a non-openable window sash, then washing the outside is already more difficult and there is a possibility of dropping the wiper, as a result of which you can break it, harm the health of citizens, and there are no holes for insurance. Attaching to the handle is not an option, since the liquid collection reservoir is not fixed rigidly to the handle. Therefore, either buy an extension kit WV Evolution 26331440 (~ 3900), or buy a window cleaner with an extended handle. The KARCHER WV 1 windshield wiper is not the finishing step in window cleaning, as the ties (rubber bands) can leave streaks, and saves the proven method with a newspaper and a glass cleaner. It is possible to use the KARCHER WV 1 glass cleaner to collect detergent from glasses, but only 25 ml can be collected into the tank. (page 31 of the instruction manual). Therefore, due to the shortcomings of the KARCHER WV 1 manual wiper, I do not recommend purchasing it.

Pros
  • It seems to collect water satisfactorily, with dexterity, but in order to be good, you need to take a model of a higher class and more expensive cost, or buy additional accessories.
Cons
  • The price and cost of consumables, in this case, ties (gum bands) ~ 800. The edges of these screeds are weakly adjacent to the base, therefore, stains are possible on the edges of the surface to be cleaned, there are residues of detergent; Duration of work ~ 25 min.; Charging time ~ 3 hours (180 min.); In my model (instance), it is impossible to remove water from a horizontal surface, water flows at the junction of the wiper and the tank; Lack of attachment point for a safety cable.
