Tyroler Bright Tools The Glider D-2 Magnetic Window Cleaner for Double Glazed Windows. Fit to 0.3in - 0.7in Window Thickness. Glass Cleaner

Cleaning windows on the second floor of our home has always been a big process. Pull out the ladder, clean the outside and then clean the inside as a separate step. After being in our home for 30 years it was getting to be too much for us (do not like being on ladders that high these days). In addition there were always some streak marks left behind. We used this tool today and it is easy and amazing! Cleans the inside and outside at the same time with ease! And NO streaks. I should get a kick back for this daunting review! Do not hesitate to buy it works like a charm!

In full disclosure, I love this product. It cleans my windows wonderfully. The technique I've established is if the window is very dirty, to Windex and use the squeegee side of the tool. Possibly a few times, up to 3 times I've needed to do on our condo windows in NYC. The glass will be streaky afterwards, I then apply Windex to the blue cloth that attached and go back over the window. This makes it near perfect.I'm extending a 1-star review due to a significant safety hazard. This product comes with a string that you hold and keep inside the window, assuming it will fall off the window. It will fall, regularly. No big deal, it has a string right? WRONG. See my photos. In one instance that this fell, it swung down and must've hit the frame of our window. It knocked the magnetic holder loose, and BOOM the magnet went flying to the ground. This is no ordinary magnet, it's heavy. Very heavy in fact, if it had hit someone, it would've inflicted a serious wound. I was able to recreate this same issue by just hitting the unit onto a solid surface and the magnet came loose again. To prevent this from happening, I applied Gaffers tape onto both holders to ensure it does not fly to the ground again, from our fourth floor condo in Brooklyn.

I love this product and I am amazed by how well it works, no streaks! My husband was really skeptical but I insisted that we buy the Tyroler. We have a 3 story home and our power-washer can’t reach our upper windows and it had been 18 yrs with no outside wash. In five minutes I finished that first window. Wow! Worth every penny. Then I had a what I’d call a freak accident on the third window as I the unit became dislodged from the window fell to the ground One of the magnets fell out of the unit and broke. I emailed the company asking if I could buy a replacement magnet and sent pictures. Their response was quick and a new D3 arrived within a week. Amazing customer service! I am so pleased with this company and my beautiful clean windows. My tip: remember my to use a lot of window cleaner on both sides!!🤗

It sorta works. Glad I bought it. Cleaned a couple of filthy inaccessible high rise windows and did a decent job. Agree with instructions - you use the terry finishing cloth wet with dish soap if the window is very dirty. By the second wash the window is surprisingly clean. If you wash a third time it would be even better but the product is clumsy to use and I got tired and moved on to the next window. If the window isn’t too dirty would work ok on the first pass. Get both sides of the window soapy and wet, otherwise the squeegee side will drag and you may loose magnetic coupling. Plan on the product flopping off at least two times per window. That’s clumsy, noisy and frustrating. I was careful to anchor the tether cord securely, and to pull in the slack of the cord as I worked. When the product loses connection and flops off - it will bang the wall surface below the window. I don’t think the housing is heavy enough to break the windows of downstairs neighbors if you don’t reel in the slack. . We have single pane 5mm windows so I ordered the smallest model. They give you a calipers in the box to measure exactly and instruct you to contact them if the magnets don’t hold. I see the bigger magnets are more $$ online - not sure how their customer service would reconcile. I have a couple of lateral slider windows that you can’t reach to place the outside cleaner. I jury rigged a pole with Velcro- stuck the pole and outside component out the window, and caught it with the inside magnet - it worked fine. Yes, I am that guy. Our window frames are metal and the magnet of the product tended to flop on the edges. The sweeping motion shown in the videos takes a lot more effort than it shows - the product takes more force and attention than you think. Making sure both window sides are very wet reduces this effort. I was very surprised how clean the windows became. The edges weren’t great but I gave up after two passes. I’ll keep the item and use it once a year maybe if the building window washers are late and the windows are driving me crazy.

The Tyroler works pretty good. I have double glazed windows and the magnets kept losing contact. Lucky for the string. I did notice it works better when both sides of the glass are wet with water and/or window cleaner, it glides much easier but still does loses grip. As another customer mentioned in the comments. It works better with slower intentional movement. With that said my windows look wayyy cleaner and better than before. I live in a high rise building with ceiling to floor windows. The windows don't open wide enough to use long or short handle window cleaners effectively. And besides using this product I am not sure what other method I could have used besides hiring an expensive window cleaning company. I'm content with the results.
