4.0 out of 5 stars Good Price/Performance, August 2, 2009

I've used this once on windows that hadn't had a good cleaning in a couple of years. First, the sprayer is very easy to use. The connection to the hose screwed on without an issue, and there are three options on the dial to choose from (off, spray, clean). I was able to do my whole two-story house with about 20 windows in less than 45 mins. Overall, the windows do look much cleaner with no streaks, but there are some water marks left behind. The water marks are pretty hard to notice but that's why I couldn't give it 5 stars. Overall excellent price/performance.

1.0 out of 5 stars great idea, but..., July 16, 2008

Sounds OK to Me (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This product is a great idea for those of us who don't have time to get out and scrub the windows. It makes a lot of sense to mix a concentrate to the water from a garden hose, which gives the pressure needed and makes rinsing easy.

If only it were so simple. The fittings are of such poor quality that the hose does not want to stay attached for very long, even with very low pressure. And the instructions tell you to manually brush or scrub any stubborn dirt prior to using the unit. What happened to the part where we don't have to scrub manually?!

I spent a morning trying to clean my back windows (thankfully I didn't do the fronts- the neighbors would've thought they were watching one of the 3 Stooges as the hose popped off, soaking me several times).

It gave me a good opportunity for comparison though- a bucket of water with a little bit of vinegar and a few drops of detergent, mopped onto the front windows and rinsed with a garden hose did a better job with less effort for less money and less of a mess in the same amount of time.

That's what I get for trying to be lazy!

The Windex product would be ideal if it were of better construction, with better gaskets and tighter fit. I presume that the chemical solution is adequate. I'm not sure if it's "green".

I would pay more for this product if it were better-built. And I would even buy concentrate refills. I think this is what happens to a good concept one the number-crunchers get a hold of it. Too bad.

I was so disappointed when my local grocery store stopped carrying this item, but delighted to find it at Amazon. Before, I discovered this product, I used to spend hours scrubbing my outside windows, then wiping them to try to eliminate every bit of residue left behind. Unfortunately, there would always be a few streaks after all that work.

This cleaner is easy to use, no wiping and it leaves the windows relatively streak-free. It also works through screens, which is a special bonus for me, because mine are difficult to remove. All in all, this is a great product if you want an easier way to clean outside windows.
