Tyroler Glider D4 Magnetic Window Cleaner for Double Glazing 2-40mm Windows

Although expensive it did clean my windows . Beware the magnets are strong

Based on other reviews, my expectations for this were fairly low. I thought there was a good chance it wouldn't perform as claimed, or that it would be an enormous hassle to use. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, actually, it's really quite good. No, it doesn't get right into the corners of the windows. Yes, it's a bit fiddly to set up. And yes, it will fall off the window now and then, particularly while you're figuring out how to set it up properly, or if you try and move it too fast. But, it's the only gadget I've found that's been able to satisfactorily clean our high sash windows. And so, overall, I'm happy. Finally, yes, it is expensive. But last time I got a professional window cleaner in, they charged £50 for our flat, but the long pole they use to access the windows wasn't adequate to clear off the several years of grime that had accumulated. So, compared to that, I suppose the cost isn't quite so exorbitant.

I spent a long time wondering whether to buy this or not. I read a lot of reviews and it was the clearly excellent customer service offered by Tyroler that made me decide to take the plunge. I could see that if I was not happy, they would do what they could to help. My windows are double glazed with an estimated 28mm width. From the reviews I decided not to risk the D3, but to pay the extra for D4 because I could see that it was adjustable and if I had overestimated the width, it would still work. I carefully followed all the instructions as I could see that some of the reviewers' problems were caused by not doing so. Spraying the cleaner on the window was an interesting initial challenge, but luckily I like to clamber, am fairly flexible and don't mind half hanging out of a window. I went slow but sure to start with. I didn't do the S-shape, I moved the magnets vertically down, it leaves an initial smear, but that comes off with the second wipe with the cloths. I fairly quickly adjusted the magnets until I was confident I was able to move them without them becoming detached. I really like the flexibility. Don't do what I did once and put the magnet without the string on the outside of the window! That is silly. Do check the string especially the knot as it arrived with a weak granny knot. After my first clean, the results are not perfect, but they are definitely good enough for me and I am delighted. I am so enjoying looking through my clean, shiny windows. I'm sure I could improved on the efectiveness too if I cared enough. The cloths with velcro on would have benefitted from better stiching and velcro on the sides too perhaps as they rucked up. I would have liked to support the window cleaner, but he just used a brush on a pole and water and the results were worse than what I have now. But hey! Not having my 6 windows cleaned for 9 months, I saved £90 which was enough to buy the Tyroler D4 (green knobs)

Not a bad product…. Trixy getting into corners though…. And BEWARE…… the magnets are that strong they will cause a nasty injury if you catch your fingers between the cleaning paddles…,!!!!! As I have found out to my peril…. Bit pricey but overall…..worth getting…..

This product is poorly produced the plastic casing is too thin for the weight of the magnets inside. I was using it for the first time the inside part of the product dropped from the window onto a wooden floor 1.5 meters below and the plastic shattered with one of the heavy magnets falling out. I cannot use the product again one time use one drop and useless for £86 pounds this is a rip off . Pooly engineered it needs a much stronger casing do not buy this product.

So bough this to use on upstair Velux windows which are at angle. Have tried other methods before, but the D4 has definitely been the only product that has helped clean the outside of the window at the same time, which I would normally never be able to effectively reach and clean properly. For the gliding to be easy you do need to put liquid on both sides of the window, sometimes this isn't ideal if the window is on top of you/ on the roof, but to get around dripping cleaner on me, I used the the microfibre cloth on the inside and cleaner on the outside. The magnets are very strong, so need to use them with care, they can separated if they come together (support were very helpful) , the magnets can also end up magnetising other metals near by, so need to watch out for that. One of the dials was faulty on mine after a single use, but again Customer Support have been great with prompt responses and will be sending a me a replacement. I do think it is a tad expensive, but it does get the job done!

Very useful and well designed. Relatively easy to use if you go slowly and follow the instructions. My windows have small glass panels so the overall cleaning process was is a bit fiddly (I’m sure it would be easier with larger windows), but I still think that the tool is useful. It’s not perfect at the corners but the overall result is satisfying. The cloths it comes with (one pair) are not very good quality, one of the Velcro patches got torn after few uses, nothing that a little sewing won’t fix but not a good sign. Ah and you need at list two pair of clothes, one to use with detergent, the other with clean water. Also, I recommend the 4D version as it allows for more flexibility with glass thickness, mine are double glazed (I’m not sure about their actual thickness) and I’ve had to use almost the highest setting. Had I bought the 3D version (also recommended for double glazed windows) I’m not sure it would have worked. The safety string is a simple but very efficient. When in use, unless clamped on glass, keep the two pieces far away, as per instructions, even the slightest distraction can lead to very painful results, I’ve learnt it the painful way. Following from that keep absolutely away from children!

Better than I expected Very strong magnets, got to mind the fingers Followed instructions cleaned windows very good Would recommend this item, does what it says which is refreshing

Como tengo vidrios dobles, compre el modelo D-4. Despues de algunas pruebas pude lograr una limpieza en las ventanas muy buena. Como no podia mojar las ventanas por fuera, use el mismo Glider primero con un trapo con agua y luego le di un par de pasadas con un trampo limpio y con Windex para un resultado muy bueno.Hay que encontrar el modo que mas se acomode a tu situacion particular pero definitivamente funciona y se logra un muy buen resultado. Muy Recomandable

عدم شراء هذا المنتج ايس له فاءده

I was so hesitant to buy this because at 149 plus tax that’s a steep price. I was also discouraged by the comments saying it doesn’t work for Canadian windows so I was half expecting to buy this and return it. I’m here to say this works fantastic for thick Canadian windows and I’m very impressed with the results!! I will not be returning this. A few things to consider, firstly I know there’s many warnings about the magnetic force but it’s no joke, you need to be very careful holding it, using it, removing it etc. keeping the pieces far away from each other and never letting your fingers sit on the magnetic side. Second, It’s very important to have the window soaking wet making the pieces glide smoothly. I think some people who were unsuccessful maybe had the window too dry, causing the outside piece to fall. Also note I was using it on the most powerful setting with the knobs fully dialed in. I recommend this 100% my windows look fantastic!

Très bel outil, pratique pour vitres peu accessibles. Se méfier de la puissance des aimants

Literalmente es la primera vez que dedico unos minutos a escribir una reseña a un producto comprado en Amazon, pero éste lo merece. Ciertamente me parece un poco caro, al fin y al cabo si lo pensamos bien es plástico con imanes. Pero es que merece la pena completamente, cuando lo pruebas se te olvida. Estas semanas con la calima ha sido una tortura pensar en cómo iba a poder limpiar las ventanas por fuera. Vivo en una cuarta planta y me da miedo quitarlas (además de que pesan y tengo movilidad reducida). Estuve investigando y vi que había otros modelos más baratos, pero éste tiene la ventaja de que se puede graduar según el grosor de las ventanas. Adjunto una prueba de cómo queda el resultado con respecto al estado en el que tenía las ventanas después de los días de calima proveniente del Sáhara. Seguro que no hace falta señalar cuál es cuál, jeje. Allá por donde voy lo recomiendo. ¡Gracias por crear estas cosas y hacernos la vida un poco más fácil!
