Alongside a drop in temperature, the autumn and winter seasons can often bring with it a rise in damp and condensation in the home.
For those who often struggle with this particular problem, a window vacuum might be a decent investment. One of the best buys is the popular Kärcher WV 1 Window Vac – and it’s currently on offer on Amazon.
The number one bestseller features a “lightweight” design, making it easy to remove excess moisture from multiple rooms in the household. Said to provide a “streak free clean”, it is ideal for the likes of windows, tiles, shower screens and even ceramic hobs.
Right now, you can bag it on Amazon ahead of the autumn weather for just £39.99, down from its regular £44.99. Meanwhile, we have also spotted it at Argos and B&Q for £40, just in case you happen to miss the Amazon deal.
With a flexible peel-off lip that ensures no drops are left behind on surfaces, it is “very effective” on condensation build-up. Dirty water is collected in a 100ml removable tank, while a rechargeable battery provides 20 minutes on a single charge, while a LED display shows how much is left.
Currently averaging an impressive 4.5 rating based on 18,944 global reviews, the Kärcher WV 1 Window Vac has become a popular must-have gadget that makes mould “a thing of the past”.
One glowing review read: “Bought as a Christmas present for the man who has everything… So simple to use but what a difference in the shower room! Mould on the grout is a thing of the past and the ceiling paint is pristine! Easy to use and empty, literally sucks up the wet from shower screen, tiles etc. A life changing water hoover!”

A second positive review read: “Compact, reasonable price. Good replacement to my previous yellow karcher of twenty years. Shower dried in less than a minute. Prevents mould build-up on grout.”
Someone else praised: “This little beast sucks up all condensation from windows and bathroom after shower – helps to keep mould at bay in the winter months. Great job Karcher.”
While another delighted shopper added: “This is simple and lightweight to use and very effective. Used in a motorhome to remove condensation from windows in the morning and to clear the moisture from the shower after use. Highly recommend & good value for money.”
Some Amazon reviews have criticised the capacity of the water tank, as one read: “This has good suction but is a pain to empty the tank, which is small & fills quickly. Spend a bit more & get one which has the rubber plug to make it much easier to empty.”
