Tyroler Glider D-2 Magnetic Window Cleaner | Magnet Window Cleaners for Thin Double Glazed Windows 8-18mm Only | Double Sided Windows Cleaner Magnetic

Update: the company reached out to me after my initial review and confirmed I had a faulty device. They sent me an upgraded model which cleans beautifully and easily. Couldn't be more impressed with this seller's customer service, they went above and beyond! I read the negative reviews on here and was sure that it was a case of people not taking the time to learn how to correctly use it. I watched the video, read the instructions, and off I went. Bought the green one and they held together, but I don't think they'd work on anything thicker than my 18ish mm Windows. The string constantly snags on window fixtures if you're not mindful, which pops the outside one off. The inside squeegee cleans fine, the outside one only cleans well right at the magnets, which makes me think the blades aren't perfectly straight or the magnet isn't holding the device together strongly enough to evenly clean. Anyway. I started well. I got the hang of it , the outside piece hadn't fallen off.i put the blue cloths on to finish and then notice a deep scratch on the inside of my window. Look at the rubber blades and see a little bit of loose plastic stuck in them. I sold myself for not checking first and move on. I do okay, the windows are quite streaky but I figure it's better than dust and grime. The blue cloths are wet after a couple of windows and don't clean so well anymore. I encounter a few more string-snags and the outside piece falls and clatters off the wall outside, and eventually both green plastic cap pieces and both magnets fall out. I watch on in horror and the two magnets bounce and snap together. I sit down and finally prise them apart after five minutes, before supergluing them into place. All in all, an expensive and frustrating let-down that damaged one of my new windows.

Bought this as our windows are 30mm thick; the rubbers are too soft, leaving smudges all over, it’s not easy to use and well over priced. Besides, I caught both of my hands between the blades and couldn’t separate them on my own -they just snapped. These would cut children fingers in half, there are no warnings on the packaging. Definitely not health and safety checked, so be aware! I got a full refund from Amazon without having to return the product.

Does the job ok but is not value for money.

Seeing the bad reviews I’ve wanted one of these for years. I got one as someone gifted me £50 voucher so thought I’ll get one. We live in a big 4 story house with windows you can’t get to. Loft top windows middle windows I’ve tried everything tried to get a window cleaner wanted to charge me £250 then £150 a month. So left it 8 years of no window cleaning outside they was full of grime bird poo and dust I just couldn’t go another month looking at them. So give it a try if you make sure the inside one is super wet with window cleaner it does not come off what so ever and easier to manage just keep making sure the inside is wet all the time. And it slides across the outside perfectly. 10/10 windows are now the best down the close same with the neighbours they’ve never had them cleaned. As you can see all the houses are 3/4 story Ours are sparkling fresh and lovely now

Good points I originally ordered a version that was too weak. I found customer services very helpful and quick to help with an exchange of D3 adjustable for the D2. It is helpful that they come with a measuring tool so you can tell if they are the right version. I have had another type of magnet cleaners before and the fact these come with a separator block is VERY sensible. (You’ll see everywhere that the magnets are strong, you have been warned). The reason my old ones from another supplier failed was because they DO from time to time stick together and the squeegee eventually tore while getting them apart. I still need to get the hang of these but got windows clean that otherwise never get cleaned outside. Probably worth a punt if like me, you are too tight to pay a window cleaner. Bad points The unit is too long to do my quarter lights. (I can get to those normally, just not easy). Generally though could do with being shorter as they are bulky. I found the section right under the magnets was cleaned but the middle between the two did not clean well. So took longer. I could not get right to the edge of the windows the squeegee does not extend at all from the body of the unit.

I was using a monthly window cleaning service for the outside windows until I found this gadget. I purchased the 20-28mm one as our double glazed windows have a decent insulating gap between them. Once I received it was quite easy to figure out. The plastic green thingy is to separate the magnets and it's only needed when storing the tool away. The cleaning clothes attach to each of the cleaning tools. Now the thick tool goes on your side of the window and the thinner cleaning tool goes on the other side of the window (eg. outside). You need to make sure you put on the ring that comes with the thin tool (connecting with a string) in case it falls while cleaning. The cleaning process is quite straightforward. You place the tools, spray with window cleaning liquid a couple times on each side of the window and you slowly start doing S shape motions from one side of the windows to the other until you get to the bottom. Remove the tools and repeat. Be careful when handling the tools as the magnet is quite strong (at least on the one I purchased) and are quite hard to remove if they get stuck together. I have to say, my windows have never been so clean before. This gadget will pay for itself in no time! A tip: if you live in a house with lots of windows I'd recommend buying a spare set of Tyroler's microfibre clothes as they get very wet and dirty after cleaning several external windows.

I have just bought this window cleaner and it has broken on its first use. The small green ring that you hold to keep the cleaner from falling came undone from the string and dropped 14 floors to the ground, breaking the device and become a hazard to passers by. This is extremely dangerous and could have hurt or killed someone should they have been hit. I have now tried to ask for a refund for the item and see it is not available. I hope that this message will make it clear that a refund is needed and that the safety of this product should be reconsidered. Thanks

Ok, so I have just spent over £60 on a device to clean my windows, have I just gone insane? Quite possibly. This window cleaning device is simple in concept yet is infuriatingly difficult to use. I made sure to watch the recommended video prior to purchase so at least I knew what I was letting myself in for. But despite this, the device is annoyingly fiddly to use. It will fall off the window if you run it too close to the edge of the window frame, and if you move it too fast over the window will also cause it to fall. The window panes (both inside and out) need to be heavily lubricated with a window cleaning solution to help it 'glide' but I never felt much confidence in the device... it felt like there was a learning curve in order to get the best out of it. And I really have little patience in 'learning' how to use a window cleaner, I just want the damn thing to work without having to figure out the best way to get it to work. So, to sum up, it's great in concept but the reality of using it falls short, it is also, I believe, over priced for what is two bits of plastic, a couple of magnets and two skimpy micro fibre cloths.

マンションの3階で使っています。ベランダ以外にも窓がありますが、これのおかげで簡単に掃除ができるようのなりました。ジョンソンの泡スプレーを使っていますが、ペアガラスでも滑らかに動き落ちたりもしません。

Utilisation pour une vitre qui ne s’ouvre pas au 7eme étage. Fonctionne super bien, facile d’utilisation. Avant apres spectaculaire !

w opisie napisali że działa do szyby 8mm a moja szyba pojedyńcza 4mm już jest za gruba i urządzenie cały czas odpada, nie da się tego używać. najchętniej dałbym 0 gwiazdek, produkt do śmieci.

Está buenísimo! Limpie las ventanas de mi departamento en un piso 28, es un edificio nuevo entonces estaban MUY Sucias quedaron espectaculares. Me tocó darles 3 pasadas a cada ventana y toca hacerlo despacio pero funciona perfecto. Ya no me tocará esperar a que el edificio limpie las ventanas

Supposed to work on windows up to 20mm thick. In apartment block with double glazing within the max of this range but no grip between the two magnets at all . Waste of money - would like to return as 1st attempt and you don’t know till you try live on windows
