The Glider (Silicone)

First off, take this with a grain of salt because it didnt work for me, but that doesnt mean it doesnt work. I ordered this product to clean our 3rd floor apartment windows for a move out inspection.This was a little too cumbersome to use by myself. The magnets are STRONG and I had a hard time getting them apart and was terrified about snapping them on my windows.It was too thick and didnt fit well between the window and the screen.Once I got it on, i was afraid it was going to fall 3 stories below. But, never m fear, I couldnt get it off the window.We didnt actually get much cleaning done, but I dont think it will be as helpful as i had hoped. Maybe Ill try it on our sliding door of our new place and see if that changes my mind.

I had high hopes for this and while it works well to clean windows, I'm not sure it really saves much time over a squeegee and a bucket.It's easy enough to set up and use but the width of the cleaning path is more narrow than a squeegee, requiring more passes per window to get complete overage.Overall, it's a neat idea that will work well for people with windows that would be awkward to reach with a squeegee but I dont see the value for the cost being there for most people.

5/5 RatingAs soon as I saw this I thought how interesting. I've seen other products kinda similar but not exactly like this. There are windows in my place that I've never cleaned the outside because of the heights and position. This device will eliminate that for many windows. It's not hard to use, just take a little time to get used to. Once you get the hang it will be like second nature. I'm pleased with how it works and the results.

This window cleaner is such a clever tool! The quality feels solid, and the magnets are strong enough to hold securely on thicker glass. I like that it has adjustable control, which makes it easier to use without slipping. It does a great job reaching and cleaning both sides of the window at once ” a huge time saver. Definitely makes cleaning tall or hard-to-reach windows much easier!

I recently tried the Tyroler Magnetic Window Cleaner, and its been a game-changer for cleaning hard-to-reach windows. The double-sided design lets you clean both sides of the glass at once, which saves so much time and effort.I love that it has adjustable control, so you can customize the pressure depending on the thickness of your window (it fits 0.4“1.8 thick windows). The silicone glider moves smoothly without scratching, and it actually makes the whole cleaning process feel kind of satisfying rather than frustrating.Its especially handy for second-story or large windows, where getting to the outside pane is usually a hassle. My windows look streak-free, and I didnt have to climb a ladder or juggle multiple tools. Its a practical, easy-to-use tool that makes cleaning windows less of a chore. Definitely worth it if you want sparkling windows with minimal effort.

These magnets are crazy strong. That is a good thing I suppose for this. But also it really makes you worry that you're going to break your windows which you really don't want to do. There's also quite a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of these. It's not easy despite reading the instructions and watching some videos online. They do work but I don't know if I can use them long-term with how anxious I get that I might break something. It doesn't do super great in the corners or around the edges unfortunately so I kind of had to touch up those areas myself afterward. I don't know. It seems expensive for how worrisome it is to use and to have to do the cleanup on the edges after.

very good to have if you live on higher floors. it easily goes on the windows despite its heavy feel. at first I thought it would shatter my windows but it magnetizes so gently, I was nervous for nothing. super easy to use and clean. fun way to get the kids involved. great sensory item. isn't the most pleasant to look at and is bulky but works like a charm.

This is good for hard to reach outside windows. My mother lives in an apartment building with crank windows, so it is pretty impossible to clean those windows without a device like this. It's not the easiest to use but it's effective. The magnets are very strong, so you have to be careful! If you have fold in double hung windows, I'd just keep cleaning those windows the traditional way as using this is more cumbersome. This is kind of expensive for what it is, but this works for those hard to reach windows.

Under just the right circumstances this could be useful. It does work but there are several caveats.Its way too expensive.The magnets are so powerful that if youre not careful you can crack a double pane insulated window.Its virtually impossible to clean corners.Its possible but way too much trouble to use it on individual panes of a divided window.You must have someway or someone to hold the outside piece in place while you connect them.This didnt happen to me but I strongly suspect these magnets would wipe out any credit card or old magnetic tape they came close to.Now the good stuff.Theyre great for big truck, tractor, heavy equipment, and such, glass. Something that is heavy glass and has an edge where one person can reach the inside and the outside at the same time. I can see it being really useful on a big enclosed tractor working in a dusty field. Something where the fine detailing, edges and corners, isnt necessary and has heavy enough glass that can withstand the hit if you accidentally slip when trying to connect them. This isnt a joke, these are very strong magnets. I can also see them being useful on a building with lots of big glass that is easily accessible on both sides.Im going to keep them and use them on my big Dodge 3500 for a while. I may end up giving them to my buddy whose family has two big farms. They have several big enclosed bulldozers and tractors. Im sure he would love to have it. Or, I might use one side to go magnet fishing. Im certain these babies would hold as much weight as Im capable of hauling up.The main deterrent to a buy recommendation is the price. However, Im not familiar with the cost of magnets so if strength correlates to price these could be reasonable.

I thought when I ordered this window cleaner that it would solve a lot of problems for me reaching windows that I can't get to easily. One is a large picture window and the others are regular tilt outs, the problem with the tilt outs being that I can't get get to the top pane without taking out the screen. I may be able to put the top pane down enough to squeeze the outside part of the cleaning tool. Unfortunately, there's no way to really get the window wet and actually clean it.Really what this seems to be is a squeegee that will clean off the soapy water after it's washed. So you really kind of need to wash the window first, or at least get it wet with some kind of window cleaner. And if you can't reach the window well enough to clean it then it stands to reason you'd have a hard time covering it evenly with window cleaner.I think maybe I will use this after a heavy rain the way I use a regular squeegee on the picture window. Maybe on the other windows I can wet them with a hose first though It's going to be a little complicated running in and out of the house doing multiple windows. So I don't know. I think what's missing is a sponge that could hold some liquid that could actually wash the window first, then remove that and replace with the squeegee. So it's a nice product but not as good as it could be.

As I dwell in an apt house, cleaning the outer side of my windows has not been something that was ever easy and safe. Until I tried The Glider, I was used to seeing the world behind a coating of dirt. This magnetic window cleaner is a revelation of how a renter should be able to clean windows just like what a homeowner can do.The arrangements are genius pure and simple These are the most powerful magnets, and the force control option is just amazing, as it is adjustable to make this work so great. I could use the correct magnetic poundage to clip onto my window of 1 inch thick, this made sure that my connection was stable but not to an extent that I would have not been able to move freely. It was a little frightening at first but the safety string makes you feel safe and the tool glides well along the glass.Cleaning performance is out of this world Both silicone squeegee edges clean the glass, leaving a clean, shiny, and streak- free finish. With one stroke of the glass I washed the inside and outside of the windows, and with one swish of the glass cleaning cloth wiped them dry to a shine. It is a very gratifying experience to see the external grime wash away confined safely at the comfort of home.It is an essential tool to people that have windows that are hard to reach be it in a high-rise building, a house in the second floor, or in any location that makes it easy to clean the outside. It is durable, very safe to operate, and it produces the professional result. This I could not praise too highly!

I didn't expect this to be a professional level tool, but I'm now leaning towards being wrong about that. The construction on this is incredibly solid, and it's got some weight to it so bear that in mind. It's relatively easy to set up and use. The magnets are super powerful and adjustable, so I was able to find the perfect setting for them to work well for me after fiddling with it a little. It's taking me some time to get used to using this, though. I'm not getting into corners as well as I'd like to, but I guess there's a bit of a learning curve to it. It does do an amazing job though, and it looks like it's built to last.

I have upstairs extra wide windows which is why I'd hoped this window cleaning tool would be the solution, but it turns out not to be. The problem is that the width of my window is too much to effectively move this along the entire pane of glass, and the end result doesn't reach the corners. The magnets are so strong I'm afraid that I will drop it or damage my windows. It almost works, but not quite well enough for my windows.

Do these clean windows? Yes. Will you have a panic attack every time you use them? Perhaps. These things are seriously strong magnets. I honestly don't understand why they need to be so strong. It's a window, not a reinforced steel bunker.If you're like me, you have virtually no idea what the depth of your windows is, so providing measurements for the product and telling the customer to make sure they are using it only on the correct size window seems like an obvious ploy to avoid liability when (not if, when) someone inevitably shatters a window in their home because the magnets snap together with the force of one thousand angry gods.As others have mentioned, this tool can provide a beautiful streak-free shine, but only partially. Even with these rare earth super-magnets mined from what I assume is the seventh layer of the inferno, the pressure is ever so slightly uneven across the length of the device, meaning the the corners of the window and even the edges receive less pressure than the rest of the areas, and debris tends to pool there.If you're brave enough to risk your windows then I think this device probably works well, but if you're not then I'd say the ease of use if very low.

This magnetic window cleaner is a total game-changer! The double-sided silicone glider cleans both sides of the window at once, saving me so much time and hassle. It fits windows 0.4 to 1.8 thick perfectly, and the adjustable control gives me great precision.The magnets hold strong without slipping, and the cleaning is streak-free every time. It makes cleaning hard-to-reach outside windows super easy and safe.Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fast and efficient window cleaning solution!

The idea of this product is really genius. Use magnets to attach on both sides of hard to reach windows to clean them. Sounds great! But actual usage is more challenging. First, the magnets are so strong. I don't know and don't even know how I'd measure the thickness of my windows so it's hard to know where to start other than the loosest because you don't want the magnets to snap together and break your window! But you don't want them too loose or it slides around too easily or too tight because it's hard to move it.If you're able to figure it out, then comes trying to use it. You're supposed to wet up the window first with cleaning solution. Well the whole reason of trying this is I can't really get to these windows. I was thinking you'd wet up the cloth on this and then push it around but this winds up acting more like a squeegee so if the window isn't wet it just kind of scrapes along but doesn't clean. Finally, if you manage to get it wet enough to clean anything, you may clean the middle but the corners are hard.Just like anything, I think this would get easier with practice but being as though I don't really wash my windows that much, I don't see myself getting tons of practice.

I hate washing windows, and a lot of mine are hard to get to from the outside, so this appealed to me instantly. The magnets are incredibly strong, and although I had wondered, I knew there would be no problem with them losing connectivity during use. Moving them is another issue. It really does take practice, and if you are young and strong, that probably helps too. I didn't get a perfect job, but I didn't really expect to, although I think with practice, it would be easy to do very well. I think this is a professional grade tool, and I'm not a professional. I'm very happy with this though, and it has done as well as it could with the operator it has (me).

Very easy. Teach the kids, they get excited and every day the window is clean hahaha

Ever since I have this, cleaning windows is no longer something we postpone.

Indeed a bit expensive but worth its durability. Holds great.

At first it was cumbersome for me and I didn't catch how simple it could be! The moment I continued working with it - it totally does the job. One point that's mandatory to pay attention to - the glider cord that's supposed to be connected to the finger ring - comes loose easily and it's life-threatening for those who live in a building. So it's mandatory to tie it several times and strengthen the knot each time.

Highly recommended + +
