Scoopy
What's to love: Clean windows, less mess.
What does it do: This is a squeegee made with a hollow handle. After spraying cleaner on glass, simply move the squeegee with a vertical stroke up the window and liquid flows into the handle instead of running down the window and onto the sill. When done, just remove the handle and pour out the liquid. The handle and squeegee fit together for easy storage and it comes with a free microfiber cloth for drying the rubber edge and removing any streaks. Scoopy sells for $24.95.
