The bottom line The one to buy if you clean every window in a day. For daily shower screens, the WV 1 Plus is the honest answer.
The WV 6 Plus Multi is the top of Kärcher’s window vacuum range: 100 minutes of runtime and a display showing what is left.
Runtime as the removal of an interruption
A window vacuum works in seconds per pane, so a hundred minutes is not about endurance — it is about never stopping. It also means the machine is usually charged when you reach for it unexpectedly, which is when most cleaning actually happens.
Knowing before you start
The display replaces the usual three-colour LED. On a machine used at the top of a ladder, or on the outside of a first-floor window, knowing you have twenty minutes rather than five is worth more than the specification suggests.
What does not change up the range
The method: spray, wipe with the microfibre cover, pull the water off with the blade. The blades themselves are shared across the range, so accessories bought for a WV 2 fit. And the shower screen habit remains the highest-value use of any of them.

Questions people actually ask
Is a hundred minutes ever necessary?
For a flat, no. For a house with a conservatory, large glazed doors and a spring clean once a year, it removes the interruption entirely — and it also means the machine still has charge when you pick it up unplanned six weeks later, which is the more common benefit.
What does the display add over an LED?
Certainty before you climb a ladder. A three-colour LED tells you the battery is 'low' at the point where you have to stop; a runtime display lets you decide whether to start the north side of the house now or after a charge. Small, and genuinely useful on a machine used at height.
