I saw them this morning on the tv while tidying

they clean the outside of your double glazed windows with a magnet

I cannot reach my windows and neither can the window cleaner

anyone used one? they are £35, and even £20 on ebay, so they'd need to work

I've seen those and thought about buying but Ive heard a lot of the stuff sold on the shopping channels is not what its made out to be.

I have a pair you can buy off me for much cheapness, I can reach my windows and so can my new window cleaner (bought them when I couldnt find one!)

TBH I only tried once, and they were fine but did have to buff a little.

Am I too late to answer "you may have been suckered?"

It depends on your windows. We have double glazing and I happily clean the insides of the windows and my window cleaner does the rest but I have a conservatory which my window cleaner won't stand on for obvious reasons.

So my son's bedroom window never gets cleaned on the outside. I got a window wizard and our double glazing must have a big gap between the panes of glass because the magnet doesn't hold very well and constantly falls onto the roof of the conservatory

There is the string but you have to leave it long so that it can stretch to the furthest side of the window.

Also separating the magnets is tricky too! Which given the above is rather strange.

I've got one I'd happily sell on, babyjibaby. CAT me if you're interested.

Oops. Just realised you're after a single glazing one. I've got a double glazing one.
