This is one of the most radical, interesting cleaning devices I have seen in years! Very interesting!
I have - as a pro photographer - seen and used a lot of different cleaning devices for lenses. And by extension, pretty much anything that you need to see through. I would many times, clean glasses for people of set, because you would not believe how dirty some would be, and they would appreciate it. It was a very small kindness I was happy to provide.
Now, this "device" or "system" does not advertise it can clean a camera lens, and I can understand that. However, if you have any kind of glass flat screen - a smaller glass flat screen, not a 65" TV! - this unit is very good!
What you receive is a flexible, clear plastic sleeve. It's not quite a cylinder but it's not quite a square, either. Kind of a cross between them both. It is very comfortable to hold, because the corners are so well rounded. And it is make of a flexible plastic - not something hard and brittle. If you give the unit a slight shake, or push the bottom of this tube up, the actual cleaning tool will slide out.
The tool itself is about 4" long and about 1 1/4" square. All four sides are bonded in a microfibre cloth. The cloth is permanently attached, but the tool can be easily separated from a spray bottle that's in the middle.
So, you have a hard, plastic shell that is wrapped in a microfibre cloth. Inside the plastic shell, is a small spray bottle that has about 20ml of cleaning fluid. You can use the sprayer while the spray bottle is still inside the hard plastic sleeve that's covered with the microfibre cloth.
Cleaning is simple and easy. You slide the unit out from that clear plastic case. Spray your screen - or whatever it is you are cleaning - with a pump or two. Then simple wipe the screen with the microfibre-clad hard case. That's it! Very simple and very easy!
There are a couple of drawbacks, however. First, keeping the cloth clean. I wash my microfibre cleaning cloths every once in a while. Oil from my hands gets on the cloth, and of course, the dirt and oils I am getting rid on my lens or screen, are now on my cleaning cloth. So, that cloth needs to be cleaned every once in a while, too! With this unit, they have thought of that, because all you need to do is use a little hand soap and warm water. Just make absolutely sure, you rinse it well, so that no soap remains. Sometimes, a single drop of dishwashing soap is better.
Getting into the very edges of a screen can be a bit of challenge. Something to be aware of.
The bottom line on this product is a fast, easy way to clean your screen. You don't want to carry around an entire cleaning kit. You want something for occasional use, does not take up a lot of room, and works!
This unit has an excellent front nozzle atomizer. It produces a very fine mist, without any large droplets. The spray unit is also very easy to refill, and in fact, every part of the sprayer is made so you can refill.
Bottom Line - It is a quality item. It has been well thought out, and to my knowledge, is very unique in the world of cleaning small screens. This is one of those products, that once you see it and try it, you will want it!
