I returned it
I returned this item because it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. It drug on the glass shower wall and caused streaks. Good idea but not impressed
Tossed it out
I used it on one window out of 8 I had to do. It did not glide as in the video fell off several times so I just tossed it out. Don’t waste your money.
Very Pleased
The condo I recently bought had incredibly dirty dual-pane double-hung windows that are not too accessible to clean from the outside. Plus, there is a full screen on the outside of each window.
I am really pleased with the results! I was able to clean each of the bottom sashes very well, and most of the top sashes too (these had more 'screen burn' on them). What a huge difference -- for the most part, no more fogginess!
Things I learned:
I ordered the blue version (.3"-.8") based on my window thickness, and am so glad I didn't order the one with the strongest magnet -- I never would have been able to move the Cleaner across my windows! As it was, there were times when I had to exert a lot of force to move it.
As long as the top sash can be pushed or pulled down a few inches, you can reach over the top of that sash to get the outer half of the Cleaner positioned on the outside glass at the top (make sure to push most of the string over the top too). Then place the inner half of the Cleaner on the inside, push the sash back up to the top, and clean.
Since I couldn't spray the outside of the top sash with a cleaning liquid, I saturated the cloth and used it on the Cleaner instead.
There were times I had to move the Cleaner up & down or side-to-side, instead of moving in an "S" -- that worked too, especially along each of the sides & corners of the windows.
I found using the Glider a great alternative to hiring a professional window cleaner! While I might have been able to get outside access to the windows on the first floor, there's no way I could have done the second floor. And, I would have needed to remove all the screens.
Thank you!
Works very well
Bought strongest version. Large skylight had not been cleaned in 4 years. Used vinegar and water. A smooth dry cloth on inside makes it easier to slide on outside. Skylight now spotless. Well worth $78
Works well on sliding windows
Love this product. It is easier to use this then trying to take the windows out of their frames. They are heavy and this worked easily without having to remove the full window screen. Thank you.

Clean the outside of windows with a magnetic cleaner that makes the job safer and easier to do—from the inside. The two part tool uses magnets to reach the outside of windows (with designs to suit different glass thicknesses) or you can use the tool to clean both sides at once. A squeegee and microfiber cloth get things sparkly clean and a safety cord ensures the outside part of the cleaner stays with you in case of a fumble.

Glider is a magnetic window cleaning tool that works on the outside of the window without you having to actually be outside—and it can get both sides sparkling clean at the same time, too.
When a family member broke their hand trying to clean the outside of windows, the Tyroler family—who have been in the cleaning industry for 30 years—spent five years perfecting a solution to make this task safer and easier to do. The two part cleaner connects through a window pane with super strong rare earth magnets, so your movements on the inside are cleaning the window on the outside. A squeegee moves cleaning liquid around on the window and you can finish with a polish from a microfiber cloth.
A safety string keeps the outdoor part of Glider connected to you in case of a fumble, which we really appreciated (and used) when we tried it out.
