Most useful drying out the fabric of my cabriolet XK....it sucks the dirty water off.BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics

If your anything like me, you'll use it whilst it's a new gadget, then let it gather dust for ever more. Another one of the advertising gurus successes making us buy something we don't need

What can I say - I have two
One in the house, one in the workshop.
I can wash the Conservatory (5.5 metres by 2 metres) which is a lot of glass and dry the windows off in under 10 minutes. Not a mark, not a streak in sight.
Great for doing big mirrors in the house. Same result. Flawless.
Also brilliant for shower cubicles and keeping the glass dry after a shower and preventing scale marks.
Highly recommended "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"
Current Ride: D4 XS Commercial Baltic Blue SDV6 fully loaded with heated everything
Track Days: BMW E36 M3 Evolution MY 1996 (3.2 Litre 377 BHP sat in 1,250 Kgs of car, with a pro safety cage and some serious braking power)

I have one and use it every day in the winter to get condensation from our velux windows after showering and every other week to clean our glass doors to remove the dog nose prints - I find it quick and easy - great gadget.Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE '65 - Projects in planning phase!

My mum bought one, I was sceptical, tried it, buying one
Saw one advertised on one of the crappy shopping channels with an extension pole that the vac attaches to - not sure how effective / unwieldy that would be?
