Yard Force Vita Cordless Rechargeable Window Vacuum Ideal for Cleaning Windows, Mirrors, Tiles, Shower Screens - LW V28, Clear

Not all window vacs (WV) are the same, and I don’t mean brands. This is my 2nd as the first one (different maker) broke within 3 months. I need a WV to remove water from tiling and shower screen in my bathroom and condensation form the large single-glazed sash windows in my rented flat, so I need it to cope with multi directions to get in corners. Cheaper WVs may have bigger tanks but can only be used up/down and can leak if used any other way. This device is smaller but a totally different tank design. You will need to empty more regularly, so not suitable if you are looking for one to tackle a conservatory. Some great design features unique to this model: usb-C type charging port so I use with my existing chargers, plus a bonus extra cable and battery is removable so you don’t have the whole device cluttering the worktop, The battery also has a torch light and can be used as a power pack (but only a small storage). So far really pleased.

Yard Force Vito window vac, I thought I would try this as the shape and design was different to other window vacs, but when I got it out of the box it felt a bit cheaply made, and for £56 didn’t feel worth it, it was much lighter than my old window vac from a different company, also the water container was small, the worst part was the orange buttons you needed to press to take the wiper part and the water container of to empty, boy they were so stiff they hardly did anything, both myself and my wife tried to get this apart, with a bit of force you could do it, but you were going to need to do this often due to the small water container! on looking at the design of the release mechanism it was very poor design, I liked the detachable battery to charge but why you would want a torch built into that I’m not really sure…..
