Kärcher WV 7 Signature Line: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- 100 min runtime: one charge covers the whole flat, including large window fronts, in one go
- Two suction nozzles: 280 mm for large surfaces, 170 mm for glazing bars and tight spots, both swappable without tools
- LED charge indicator: remaining runtime is always in view, so no sudden shutdown mid-job
- Complete set: spray bottle with wiper, two microfibre covers, dirt scraper and concentrate are included
- Drip- and streak-free: wet windows, mirrors and tiles are wiped clean without polishing afterwards
Points of criticism
- Higher price: around €100, noticeably more than basic window vacuums, which are often enough for standard flats
- Oversized for a small flat: the 100 min endurance only really pays off with many or large panes
