Clear the condensation off every window before the kettle boils. The water goes in the tank, not down the frame or into a towel. And it works upside down at the bottom of the glass without spitting.

Blades and spray heads stay in stock, so a worn blade is a cheap part, not a new machine.
Four windows upstairs before the school run and it was about half full. Tipped it into the plughole. Not a drop on the ledge, which hasn't happened in that house in October since the day the boxes came in.Carol W. · Doncaster
Life with the Vekto Window Vac W10
Open the curtains, draw it down each pane, pour the tank down the sink. Here is what changes in the first week.
No more kitchen roll, no more wringing a tea towel out in the bath. The water goes into the tank in a few strokes and down the sink. Three bedroom windows and the landing take about as long as the kettle.
Water that sits in the corner where the seal meets the uPVC is what feeds the mould. Take it off every morning and there is nothing for the black to grow in. Once you have cleaned the frames, they stay clean.
The sill and the frames
The water runs to the bottom of the window. That is where most window vacs start to spit.
Turn it right over and run the blade along the bottom edge above the sill. The tank is sealed for 360° use, so nothing comes back out of the vents. No cloth to finish the job.
The tank holds 150 ml, half again what the big-name one holds. Three or four wet windows go in before you walk to the sink. Pull the drain cap, pour, click it shut.
Drag the slider. Left is a normal October morning with a towel on the sill. Right is the same window after one pass.
“Unless you keep it upright the water gets into the motor and it just splutters dirty water everywhere.”What owners say about the window vac they had before
The question everyone asks
Every window vac review ends the same way: it stopped taking a charge just after the two-year guarantee ran out, and it went in the bin. Here is the straight answer.
The big-name one gives you two years, and owners say the battery goes just after. On this one, if the battery fades inside five years, it is repaired or replaced free. No registration, no 30-day window.
Up to 35 minutes on one charge. A window takes under a minute, so a three-bed semi with six wet windows a morning is a charge every week or so. Not a flat battery halfway round.
The cable is USB-C, the same as most phones. No special charger lead to lose, no wobbly two-pin plug that stops charging. Plug it in by the bed or in the bathroom.
The rest of it
The blade
A 28 cm soft rubber blade pulls the water off a normal uPVC pane in three or four strokes, with the suction taking it straight into the tank. Draw it down slowly and the glass behind it is dry, with no stripes showing when the low winter sun comes round. The blade wears in time, so spares are cheap and stocked for five years.
A 150 ml tank
Every wet towel dries out into the air of the house and comes back on the glass tomorrow. The tank holds 150 ml, so the bedrooms and the landing go in before you walk to the sink. Pull the drain cap, pour it away, click it shut. The brush head pulls off for a rinse.
All year round
Condensation is October to March. The shower screen is every day. Run it over the screen and the tiles after a shower. There is no water left to dry into limescale, and the grout stays clean. Turn it over for the inside of the car windscreen on a frosty morning. It is light enough to hold above your head for the top of a patio door.
How it works
A window vac comes down to three things: getting the water off the glass, keeping it in the tank at any angle, and still working in year five. Here is how the Vekto Window Vac W10 handles each one.
Spray the pane with the bottle, wipe it with the microfibre pad, then draw the 28 cm blade down in slow strokes. The suction takes the water off the rubber and into the tank as you go, so nothing runs back down the glass.
The 150 ml tank is sealed for 360° use. Turn it right over for the strip above the sill, or sideways along a patio door, and the water stays where it is. Most window vacs spit out of the vents the moment they tilt.
Up to 35 minutes on one charge, from a USB-C cable that fits any USB plug. The blade is a cheap spare, stocked for five years, and the battery is covered for five years too. A worn blade is a part you change, and a tired battery is covered, so neither is a reason to bin it.
Covered for five years, with 60 days to try it in your own home.
A damp surveyor's view
Twenty-three years looking at black frames and wet sills in UK homes. This is the one he tells people to buy, so he does not have to come back.
I walk into the same bedroom every week of the winter. Water on the glass by seven, pooled in the seal by eight, a towel on the sill, and black growing along the frame by Christmas. The owner has usually already bought a window vac. It spits when they tilt it, so the bottom strip gets a cloth anyway, and then the battery goes in year two and it is in the bin. The fix is dull and it works: take the water off the glass every morning, down to the sill, into a tank, and out of the house. The Vekto Window Vac W10 does the bottom strip upside down without spitting, holds 150 ml so they finish the room, and the battery is covered for five years. That is why I tell people to buy it.

What it really costs
Three ways to a dry window, and what each one costs.
He does the outside, when he turns up. The condensation is on the inside, every morning from October to March, and it is still yours to deal with. That is £120 to £300 a year for the half of the glass that was never the problem.
Works well in its first winter. Then it spits when you tilt it for the sill, the 100 ml tank fills on the second window, and the battery stops taking a charge just after the two-year guarantee ends. Nobody replaces the battery. It goes in the bin.
Condensation off every window in one pass, upside down at the sill without spitting, and a 150 ml tank that does the bedrooms in one go. Spray bottle and pad in the box. Covered for five years, battery included, with 60 days to try it at home. Delivered free and fast from our UK warehouse.

Back bedrooms in our 1930s semi, both kids' windows soaked by half seven every October. Used to go round with a bath towel and wring it out over the bath. This went over each pane in about four strokes and the frame underneath was dry when I ran a finger along it. My daughter asked where the towel had gone.
Shower screen every morning, thirty seconds, no more limescale tide marks. Charged it twice in a month.
Does the bedroom windows on a single tank, but our big patio doors in the kitchen take two passes and an empty in between on a bad morning. Easy enough, the cap pulls out and you tip it into the plughole. I've got arthritis in both hands and I can flip it over to do the last few inches without anything dripping down my wrist. Four stars for the patio doors.
Bought it because the windscreen mists over inside before work every day. Did the whole screen from the passenger seat with it flipped and nothing ran onto the dash. Then did the bathroom mirror. The cheap one from Argos used to dribble down my arm.
Twenty-two panes in the conservatory and it did the lot, emptied once halfway. The Kärcher before it wouldn't charge after its second winter and nobody would look at it. My husband laughed at me buying another one. He does them on a Sunday now.
Stone cottage, single glazing in the back rooms, black spots along the wooden frames every winter. Bought it in July to be ready and it's been doing the shower tiles in the meantime. Charges off the lead on the bedside table, same plug as my phone. Quiet enough that it didn't wake the baby across the landing.

Out of the box
Charge it, fill the bottle, and the first pane is done before the manual is open.
Plug the USB-C cable into any USB plug, or the phone charger by the bed. Charge it the night before the first cold morning.
Tap water, with a drop of washing-up liquid if the glass is grubby. Click the microfibre pad head on. For plain condensation, skip the spray and go straight to the blade.
Blade flat on the glass, slow strokes from top to bottom, turn it over for the strip above the sill. Pull the drain cap over the sink, pour, click it shut. Keep it by the window that gets wettest.

Common questions
The Spray & Wipe Kit: a pump spray bottle with a microfibre cleaning pad on the head. Fill it with water, spray the glass, wipe it with the pad, then draw the blade down. It is in the box with every order, at no extra cost, and the 5-year guarantee covers it. Spare pad heads are stocked for five years.
Yes, to the frames and the sill. The water that runs down the glass every morning pools where the seal meets the uPVC, and that is where the black starts. Take it off the glass and into a tank each morning and nothing is left to soak in. It does not stop condensation forming overnight. It stops it sitting there all day.
The big-name one is guaranteed for two years, and owners say the battery goes just after that. The battery is soldered in, nobody replaces it, and it goes in the bin. This one is covered for five years, battery included. If the battery fades inside five years, it is repaired or replaced free. That is the difference you are paying for.
Yes. Upright, sideways and upside down, right down to the sill. The tank is sealed for 360° use, so the water stays in it whichever way you hold it. That is how you do the bottom strip of glass, the bit the sill gets in the way of and most people finish with a cloth.
A squeegee pushes the water to the bottom of the glass. The towel soaks it up and gets wrung out, and the water goes back into the air of the house. This takes the water off the glass and into a 150 ml tank, which you pour down the sink. Three bedroom windows is one trip to the sink, not three wet towels.
The blade is 28 cm wide, so it suits a normal uPVC pane, a patio door, a shower screen and a bathroom mirror in a few strokes. Leaded lights and little Georgian panes narrower than 28 cm are better done with the microfibre pad, then the blade on the diagonal. If yours are all small panes, see the list further down before you buy.
It does not remove mould that is already there. A mould spray and a cloth do that job. What it does is take away the water that feeds it, every morning, so once you have cleaned the frames they stay clean. Owners who use it every winter morning say the black has not come back.
It takes about a minute a window and it lives on the sill or in the bathroom. There is no fiddly charger to find: the cable is USB-C, the same as most phones, and one charge does a week of mornings in most homes. The owners who use it most are the ones who keep it by the window that gets wettest.
Five years of cover, battery included, with no registration and no 30-day window. Blades and spray pad heads are stocked for five years, and a spare blade is cheap. You have 60 days to send it back for every penny. It is sent from our UK warehouse, and someone answers at [email protected] around the clock.
Stop wringing towels out in the bath. Stop finishing the bottom of the window with a cloth. Stop buying a new one every second winter. The Vekto Window Vac W10 does every wet window before the kettle boils, pours away down the sink, and is covered for five years, battery included. It is delivered free and fast from our UK warehouse.
