8 best window cleaning robots

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

More recently, we were surprised by robotic vacuum cleaners. And now robots that can wash windows are increasingly appearing on store shelves! Unfortunately, so far not all such devices inspire respect. Some of them can easily fall off the glass, after which they most often fail (however, there is a safety cord for this case). In order not to purchase such a copy, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with our review. It consists exclusively of the best models that perform well in real life, not just on paper.

Bist Win A100

Rating: 4.9

One of the most stylish wiper robots. Its body is made of high quality plastic, which is pleasant not only to the eye, but also to the touch. At the same time, the manufacturer did not become sophisticated, making his creation square. This means that the device can even clean the corners of the window without any problems. And the creators of this device declare at least a five-year service life (not to be confused with the warranty period, which is equal to the usual year).

The device turned out to be quite heavy – the scales under it will show 2 kg. However, this does not prevent it from being securely fixed on the glass using a vacuum. It is recommended to use the supplied safety cord just in case. Also in the box with the product you will find an extension cord for the power cord – a nice bonus. By the way, this hints that this instance can work in wired mode, and not only with the help of a battery.

Speaking of the battery, it should be noted that it is made using lithium-ion technology. This means that the vacuum cleaner can be used from time to time – the self-discharge of the battery is minimized. The battery capacity is 650 mAh. A little, but the manufacturer had to do its best to reduce the weight of the device. A full battery charge lasts for half an hour.

The high cost of the device is due not only to the possibility of wet and dry cleaning. This copy turned out to be very smart. It can automatically detect the cleaning area. Also, this robot is able to avoid obstacles. The choice of one of the four operating modes is carried out by pressing the buttons on the complete remote control. The buyer will also receive a polishing and washing cloth.

Perhaps this is the best robot wiper. I am glad that it can work on any surfaces – even on tiles and mirrors.

Advantages

• There is a safety cord;
• It adheres perfectly to windows and mirrors;
• Can be operated with a battery and mains supply;
• Four modes of operation are available;
• A reliable battery is used;
• Controlled by the remote control;
• Decent cleaning speed.

disadvantages

• Very high cost;
• Not suitable for heavily soiled glass;
• Not able to sync with smartphone.

HOBOT 298 Ultrasonic

Rating: 4.8

Another very interesting robot window cleaner. It differs from its counterparts in the body, which is almost completely painted blue. Like the one discussed above, the HOBOT 298 Ultrasonic has a square shape. This means that he should wash well even the corners of the window. Another similarity is that this model can provide both wet and dry cleaning.

Typically, manufacturers of wiper robots strive to reduce the weight of their creation. The creators of the HOBOT 298 Ultrasonic did it in the best possible way – the weight of this instance does not exceed 1.2 kg. At the same time, the device received everything it needed, even an ultrasonic spray gun! The dimensions of the device are 24x10x24 cm. Therefore, it can be placed even on relatively small windows. It can also be used to clean tiles and mirrors.

In total, this model offers three modes of operation. The cleaning speed is approximately 2.4 sq. m / min. I am glad that the product allows you to wash even frameless surfaces – it will automatically detect that it is close to the edge. As expected, a vacuum mount is used here. If you are worried about the purchased item, you can use the supplied safety cord. Plus, you don't have to rely on the 650mAh battery by using the power cord extension. This will increase the runtime from 20 minutes to infinity.

In the box with the robot, you will find a cleaning agent, a cleaning cloth (three in number) and a remote control. At the same time, you can also use a smartphone to control the device – you just need to install the appropriate application on it.

In short, this is another great robot wiper. It is also quite noisy (measurements show 66 dB), but there is nothing you can do about it.

Advantages

• Great appearance;
• Wet and dry cleaning available;
• It can work both from the mains and from the battery;
• Reliable vacuum mount;
• The set includes a safety cord and an extension cord;
• Remote control and smartphone are used for control;
• The device is light enough;
• There is an ultrasonic spray gun.

disadvantages

• High price;
• It is still impossible to call this robot particularly smart;
• Battery life is not very long.

iBoto Win 289

Rating: 4.8

Another windshield wiper robot that can work both from the mains and using its own battery. The latter is made using lithium-polymer technology, so self-discharge can be avoided. The battery capacity is small, and therefore you can only count on 20 minutes of battery life. It should also be noted that there is a power cord extension in the kit.

This model weighs only 1350 g. It is attached to the glass using a vacuum. At the same time, the manufacturer assures that his creation is capable of working on a mirror and tile. The cleaning speed does not exceed 2 sq. m / min, but many buyers do not need more. I am glad that the product has received a number of automatic functions. For example, iBoto Win 289 is obliged to bypass an obstacle if it occurs in its path. Also, the robot should automatically stop when it reaches the edge of the surface. This instance is also able to boast of self-determination of the cleaning zone. In case of any problems, the robot starts giving light and sound signals.

The device has three modes of operation. Switching between them is carried out using the remote control or the application on the smartphone. Strictly speaking, it was the support of the latter that made the robot wiper quite expensive. Although it must be admitted that it is cheaper than the models discussed above. At the same time, he is not inferior to them in many possibilities! Here, even the kit is very similar – it includes a polishing cloth, four cleaning cloths, a safety cord, a charger and the accessories already mentioned.

It remains to add that the noise level caused by the operation of this model does not exceed 58 dB. Also note that iBoto Win 289 is not particularly small. Therefore, we do not recommend buying this robot for cleaning very small windows.

Advantages

• It can work both from the network and from the battery;
• Reliable vacuum mount;
• Lots of automatic functions;
• Wet and dry cleaning is possible;
• The set includes a safety cord;
• Control is available using the remote control and the application;
• Not very heavy.

disadvantages

• Not for small windows;
• Does not wash the space along the frames.

HOBOT 188

Rating: 4.7

This robot wiper is distinguished by its relatively small dimensions. Yes, its height reaches an impressive 29.5 cm, but the width does not exceed 12 cm. As a result, the device feels great even on a relatively small window. I am glad that such dimensions still allowed the manufacturer to build in a high-quality motor, with the help of which the vacuum effect is achieved. But we still recommend using a safety cord at first. You don't need to buy it separately – it is included in the kit.

The manufacturer of this model has become generous with 12 washing rags! Also, the buyer will receive a remote control, with which one of the three available operating modes is selected. The box also contains a retaining ring and a power cord extension. The latter can come in handy if you don't feel like relying on the built-in lithium polymer battery, which lasts about 20 minutes of battery life.

The HOBOT 188 is not a budget window cleaning robot. In this regard, it should not be surprising that it received a number of automatic functions. For example, he is able to independently determine the cleaning area. It also stops automatically when it reaches the edge of the window. However, this device cannot be called particularly smart – in this regard, it is inferior to the competitors who opened our rating.

The manufacturer claims that his creation can be used on tiles and mirrors. He is also proud that the HOBOT 188 is capable of dry and wet cleaning. But what is most striking is the cleaning speed. She is capable of reaching 4 sq. m / min! As soon as the process is completed, sound and light notifications will begin. The only pity is that this model does not support communication with a smartphone, no notifications will be sent to it.

Advantages

• The weight of the device is only 930 g;
• The set includes a safety cord;
• Controlled by a convenient remote control;
• A very large number of rags included;
• Three operating modes are available;
• High cleaning speed;
• Both wet and dry cleaning are supported;
• It can work both from the mains and from the battery.

disadvantages

• The robot is not very smart;
• It may not reach the corners;
• On windows with wooden frames, he does not see the border of the glass;
• The appearance will not suit everyone.

Ecovacs WINBOT 950

Rating: 4.6

Another window cleaning robot, which is sold for 23-25 ​​thousand rubles. Moreover, it has far from the best characteristics. That is why he by no means opens our review.

Let's start with the fact that this model is capable of working without being connected to the mains. However, the 600 mAh battery used here lasts only 15 minutes. This is why the included power cord extension is definitely worth it. But the manufacturer managed to screw it up too! The fact is that its length is only 1.5 m! As a result, many owners of Ecovacs WINBOT 950 have to use their own extension cord, or buy it additionally.

A complete remote control is used to control this device. Unfortunately, the device supports only two modes of operation, so there is really nothing to choose from. Also, some chagrin is caused by the inability to clean tiles or mirrors. At least, none of this is stated by the manufacturer, and not every buyer will want to experiment.

The device has sound and light indications. He is able to determine the cleaning zone on his own. Also, the creators of Ecovacs WINBOT 950 assure that their creation can easily work on frameless surfaces. As for the level of the emitted noise, it does not exceed 64 dB. By the way, a safety cord is supplied with the robot wiper. It would be strange to see such a device without it. The box also contains four cleaning cloths and one polishing cloth. Also, the cleaning agent is not forgotten. Of course, it will end quickly, but such a bonus is still nice.

It remains to add that this robot vacuum cleaner turned out to be too large, and its weight reaches 2300 g. Therefore, it is not intended for every window. We also recommend testing the battery life immediately. The fact is that the warranty in this case applies only to the device itself, and not to its battery. If the device is not able to provide even ten minutes of cleaning, then it is better to immediately return it to the store, since in the first days after purchase this can be done without much difficulty.

Advantages

• It can operate both on battery and mains;
• Both wet and dry cleaning is available;
• Can wash frameless surfaces;
• There is a safety cord;
• Easy control using the remote control.

disadvantages

• The device turned out to be large and heavy;
• Only two modes of operation;
• Short battery life;
• The safety cord and extension cord are very short;
• Very high cost.

REDMOND RV-RW001S

Rating: 4.5

Many devices under the REDMOND brand are able to boast of the ability to synchronize through the corresponding application on the smartphone. The RV-RW001S window cleaning robot is no exception to the rule. However, if the remote control seems more convenient to you, then so be it – it is also included in the kit.

As with the rest of the robotic wipers, it uses vacuum adhesion to the surface. The weight of the device does not exceed 1 kg, so it is held securely. Moreover, the manufacturer claims that his device can clean not only windows, but also tiles, and even mirrors! In total, the device received four modes of operation. It is unlikely that at least one such robot can boast of a large number of them. However, it cannot be said that REDMOND RV-RW001S can do absolutely everything. For example, he is not capable of dry cleaning – the manufacturer said only wet. Also, the device cannot be called high-speed. But on the other hand, it has a high-quality lithium-ion battery, the charging time of which does not exceed 60 minutes! The only pity is that its capacity is only 500 mAh. It is unlikely that the operation of the device will be any long. However, no one bothers to connect it to an outlet. This can be done, including by means of a four-meter power cord extension.

As expected, this robot wiper has light and sound indications. He really needs them, since the device has very little 'brains'. It seems to define the cleaning area, but when obstacles arise, problems begin. That is why this model is not used in shopping malls and other similar buildings. Also, buyers express some dissatisfaction with the fact that sometimes this device still falls. In this regard, the included safety cord looks not at all superfluous. Also in the box with the product you will find as many as 14 washing rags, a charger and a fixing ring.

It remains to add that the small size of the robot did not reduce the noise emitted at all. If you make the appropriate measurements, then you will see a figure at 72 dB.

Advantages

• Can be used on small windows;
• Four operating modes;
• Controlled by remote control and app is possible;
• A very large number of cleaning cloths included;
• There is a safety cord;
• Easy to find in Russian stores.

disadvantages

• High noise level;
• Does not differ in particular ingenuity;
• The vacuum clutch is not reliable;
• Not very long battery life.

Windoro WCR-I001

Rating: 4.4

It is a rare occasion when a robot window cleaner comes in three colors. The most popular is the yellow model, but the red one is also in demand. And only the gray version looks the least advantageous. Unlike the examples discussed above, the Windoro WCR-I001 uses a magnetic type of adhesion to the surface. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer had to save by all means, because the cost of this model is only 12 thousand rubles. In fact, you are offered two blocks at once, which must be placed on opposite sides of the window, after which they begin to hold due to magnetic attraction to each other.

Many modern robotic wipers are capable of working with a wired connection to the mains. This model, alas, is not like that. It functions exclusively with a battery. But on the other hand, the manufacturer has introduced a battery here that can last up to 100 minutes of continuous cleaning! The capacity of the lithium polymer battery is 2000 mAh. It may seem that this has seriously affected the weight. However, it is not. It was affected by the design of the device. It is because of her that the scales under the robot show, scary to say, 3200 g.

The device has some automatic functions. In particular, he is able to independently determine the cleaning area. However, you shouldn't hope for something serious. As for the control, it is assigned to the complete control panel. Also, a charger, a cleaning agent, 12 cloths and a scraper are supplied with the window cleaning robot. In a word, there is everything you need!

Alas, this is not the device that will provide you with the perfect result. And it’s very heavy. This must be why it is not bought as often as the models discussed above.

Advantages

• Three colors to choose from;
• Not very high cost;
• The noise level does not exceed 60 dB;
• Decent battery life
• Easy control using the remote control.

disadvantages

• Reliability raises questions;
• No safety cord;
• Cannot work from the mains;
• Very heavy weight.

Xiaomi Hutt DDC55

Rating: 4.3

The company also has its own wiper robot Xiaomi. Her Hutt DDC55 has a vacuum grip with the surface, and in this case, a remote control is used for control. Alas, smartphone support is not announced. This is strange, because the Chinese are doing their best to promote the development of the so-called 'smart home'.

The width of this robot is only 13.5 cm. The height is much larger, 29 cm. Such parameters allow the robot to operate on almost any window. It is also impossible not to note the weight that does not exceed 1140 g. It seems that such a baby will definitely not fall out of the window. And even so, the safety cord will save you. Interestingly, its length reaches 8 m!

As expected, this robot is able to automatically determine the cleaning area. Then he starts cleaning – at a speed of about 3 square meters. m / min. Cleaning can be either wet or dry. At the same time, it is not necessary to place the device on the window, it is not afraid of either the tile or the mirror. It's nice that this model doesn't make too much noise. Measurements in close proximity show approximately 65 dB. Well, as for the battery life, it is no more than 20 minutes. Well, expecting more from a 650mAh battery would be silly. By the way, fast charging technology has not been introduced here – the process lasts 150 minutes. That is why many owners of Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 use it connected to the mains, since such a possibility is declared. But you will have to take your own extension cord – it is not in the box with the product. But there is a spray bottle. Also, the Chinese have become generous with 12 washing rags.

Advantages

• Extremely high cleaning speed;
• It can work both from the battery and from the network;
• Small size and weight;
• Includes a long safety cord;
• Controlled by a convenient remote control;
• Not very high noise level.

disadvantages

• Long battery charging time;
• Not distinguished by a special mind;
• I would like to be able to sync with a smartphone;
• There is no extension cord included.

Conclusion

Of course, many readers will think that a robotic window cleaner is a useless thing. Well, what prevents him from completing the task he is solving himself? Now try to remember how often you wash the windows in your apartment. It is possible that you do this too rarely. And this is not to mention how much such a device can be useful to some office center. In a word, such devices definitely have a right to exist.
