Tyroler Magnetic Window Cleaner Tool | The Glider D4 Double-Sided Window Cleaner Tool Fits Windows 0.1"-1.6" Thick | Magnet Window Cleaner | Magnetic Glass Cleaner | limpiador de ventanas magnetico

We have large 5th floor sliding windows, which are impossible to reach all the way across from the inside. Since some of the sliders overlap when they are open, it is impossible to reach all of the outside surfaces of some windows unless they are all closed, which means there is no way to clean them from the inside. This product worked great for our situation. We opened the windows just enough to thoroughly wet down the outsides, reached the outer half of the unit around to the outside of each of the windows, mated it with the inner half, and then closed the windows so that there was no overlap among the sliders. With this system, we could use the unit to squeegee the whole surface of all the windows, one at a time. Follow up with the included microfibre cloths, and the finished product is pretty good. Not quite as perfect as if you could access the whole window inside and out with a professional window cleaner, but we do not have that option.Some important tricks that we learned: 1. People have complained that the device broke or damaged their windows when the magnets pulled the two parts together on the glass. DO NOT allow the two parts to approach each other from directly opposite sides of the glass. This is how people broke their windows, and blamed it on the product. Place the outside half against the glass, then place the inside one against the glass at least 8 inches away. Then slowly slide them together along the glass until they match up; this way there is no impact against the glass. THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS, since it would have easily prevented the broken window issues people had. 2. Learn how to do a proper S pattern to squeegee the glass. Some video reviewers had no clue how to do this during their demonstrations, even though it was mentioned in the instructions, which will result in leaving streaks. 3. Hold the inner unit by the base as you move it around the window. If you hold it by the top which is more natural, it will tend to tilt the inner unit and break the magnetic connection. Loosing the magnetic connection this way is another common cause for complaints, and should be addressed in the instructions. 4. When you are making the return curves in your S pattern at the edges of the windows, take your time to carefully follow along the edge of the frame. If you bump against the frame, it may knock one of the halves enough to break the magnetic connection. I sometimes knocked the connection loose on one set of magnets, but the other set always held until I could realign the separated set. 5. We bought the more expensive D4 model, which has the ability to adjust the strength of the magnetic connection in order to work ideally with different thickness of windows, and the number of thermopanes in the window. This makes a huge difference, and since some of our windows are single pane, and some are double pane with a large space in between, it is important for us to adjust the unit for the type of window we are cleaning. If you have different types of windows, pay attention to this. 7. We have 8 large windows. By the time we got to the last window, the microfibre cloths were starting to smear a little dirt. In the future, we would only do four windows at at time, and then wash and dry the microfiber clothes before doing more windows. Alternatively, just buy more clothes so that you can switch out during a job, as they get dirty.Along with the better instructions, I would suggest two other improvements to this great product: 1. In our case, the safety string is too short to reach all the way across our largest windows, so we had to do without it on those, and will eventually add a longer string. Luckily, so far so good. 2. The velcro patches at the ends of the microfibre cloths are not sewn on perfectly, so after only one use, it looks like the stitching might be weak. We will see.

I decided to try this because I don't have tilt out windows and it is much lighter than an extension ladder. I spent some time getting the magnetic force adjusted properly and then I sprayed the outside and inside of my double hung windows. First I tried using the squeegee on both halves. This was the least effective method because the squeegee would skip and chatter across the window. Adding more cleaner didn't help. Next I installed the cleaning cloths. They worked about the same because the window was drying from the squeegee. I sprayed additional cleaning solution on the windows and that worked much better. The cloth slid easily and cleaned the window well. With the cloth wet and cleaner on the next window things went smoothly. The streaking was minimal and the process is pretty quick once you get things figured out. If you have more than a half dozen windows to clean you should order additional cloth cleaning strips as they get dirty and soaked pretty quickly. Overall, I really like this window cleaner and would recommend it to others.

So, we've tried a lot of products attempting to clean our windows 25 floors up. I was always a bit disappointed. Robot cleaners that would fall away (thankfully the string didn't break), lackluster other magnetic cleaners...and then this one. It is STRONG, it is capable, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. With a cleaner like Driven, the windows actually are...clean. Finally. Highly recommend for people living in high rises, and can't hang out the windows to clean them.

Just a caution to all. Magnets are super strong. Great for windows- not great if you get your fingers caught as I did inside the 2 pieces. Keep away from children. Be super careful.

Not the easiest to use the magnets are not really strong. Also the reason I write this is ring at the end of the safety line propped off and provided no safety when the outside unit fell 4 stories. So be aware of this and tie your own loop.Product works ok. Not really easy. Maybe mine was defective. But magnets are so so.

An absolutely incredible product! We had windows that were impossible to clean from the outside because a pole was in the way. This thing saved me $500 on hiring professional window cleaners. It attaches perfectly, doesn’t fall off, cleans thoroughly, and is super easy to use. Most importantly, it’s made of high-quality materials! I highly recommend it—I don’t understand why it has such a low rating. This product is truly a game changer!
