Windshield Cleaning Tool, Car Window Cleaner with Extendable Long Handle and 4 Washable Reusable Microfiber Pads, Auto Interior Exterior Glass Wiper Cleaning Kit Universal for Office and Home (Blue)

This cleaner is simple to operate and easy to use. The plastic blade that holds the cleaning pad unsnaps for easy storage. However I don't think that's necessary. When the handle is collapsed completely the cleaning tool is plenty small. The handle can be left all the way in, pulled out for more reach, or set anywhere in between, and simply twisting the handle locks the handle securely to the desired length. The head/blade swivels 180', accommodating varying angles of the glass. This also allows either the sharp point, or the opposite flat portion of the cleaning head/blade to be swiveled into the forward position so whichever one can be utilized for cleaning depending upon your needs. The head does not lock into a given swivel position. At first I though that perhaps this would lesson the cleaning effectiveness, as one couldn't press very hard in a particular spot of the glass being cleaned, but so far this hasn't caused any issues and the too gets the glass clean. If the swivel could be locked, it likely would quickly break off, or if the cleaner were designed to be so robust the cleaning head/blade wouldn't break off, the contraption would be so bulky that it couldn't readily fit into the very tight corner where the glass meets, in my case, the dashboard.The cleaner comes with 4 cleaning "pads," which are simply microfiber towels with an elastic band around the perimeter of the cloth to hold it securely in place.One of the many complaints about these products I see is people comment that the handle isn't long enough. It would be nice if this cleaner had a longer handle, maybe 3 or 4 inches longer, but the handle length on this cleaner is good enough, and it does the job, and I have a very steeply raked windshield in my car, which is what I bought this for.I hate having small specialized tools for small, relatively mundane cleaning tasks, but this cleaner is well worth the price for the amount of time and effort it saves me, and it does a better cleaning job than I'd been doing using either my hands, or the various home-brew cleaning tools I created. If you have a windshield or back window that is difficult to clean because of the angle of the glass, of the reach required to clean the difficult to reach edges, I highly recommend getting one of these gizmos.

Handle will collapse with use but easily restored. 3 micro cloths good idea. Had to use glass cleaner in conjunction with device and switch to a dry micro cover for heavy duty cleaning but works well.

Even though I had to tighten the handle repeatedly I think it was just me. It is perfect for cleaning mirrors, glass doors and windshields. Love it!

Does the job but low quality as expected at this price point. Handle comes off very easily and the pole does not always stay locked in place.

Well thought out and handy tool for the back window (or front) of today's sedans with hard taper....
