Window cleaning is a bothersome and nerve-racking housework – and sometimes it is even kind of dangerous. With a robotic helper in the shape of a window cleaning robot, this task becomes safer and easier than ever. At the push of a button they clean framed or frameless windows, mirrors or other glass surfaces. Window cleaning has never been so easy! Small Hint: In the product description of each window cleaning robot you can find further information about the suitability for different kind of glass surfaces.

Before I exposed the Winbot to the elements, I tried it out on the large mirror that covers the wall above the vanity in my bathroom. I began by spraying cleaning solution onto a soft, fabric pad that’s attached to the Winbot’s base. Then I plugged the bot in, turned it on, and stuck it to the mirror. Amazingly, it stayed there. The motor created enough suction to let the Winbot cling to this sheer, vertical surface with seemingly little difficulty. When I hit the start button, the bot began to merrily crawl to and fro—like a very conscientious, domestically oriented Spider-Man. When no catastrophes ensued, I brought the Winbot out to my living room.

I slid open a window, reached around to the outside, and affixed the Winbot to the exterior. Then I used the remote control to launch the cleaning program. Again, the little bot did its thing without falling off. The front pad, soaked with the cleaning solution, sponged away dirt. The rear pad followed behind, sopping up the resulting detritus.

Though I never saw the Winbot have any trouble maintaining suction, there is a special fail-safe retaining device—a tether rooted to the inside of the window by one of those old-school, nonelectrified suction cups—to ensure that, in the event of an unplanned dismount, the Winbot won’t free-fall and create a surprise for someone on the avenue below. The window was drastically less dirty. The bulk of the glass looked pretty fantastic.

But just as the Winbot replicates the Scooba’s approach to cleaning, it also mimics the Scooba’s crucial flaw: It can’t quite reach all the way to edges or into corners. Its overhanging bumpers don’t let the cleaning pads get flush to the sides of your windows, so it leaves slender areas untouched. Using the remote control, I was able to maneuver the Winbot back to these spots and, by guiding it patiently and carefully, clean a few millimeters closer to the edges. But there remained schmutzy regions that simply could not be un-schmutzed. Plus: streaks.

The Winbot left swoops of filmy residue marking its path. In the bathroom, when the mirror got steamy during a shower, I could even make out the pattern of the Winbot’s little tank treads clearly marked on the glass. The fact that a chamois cloth comes packed in the box—with directions suggesting you use it to finish up each job—suggests that Ecovacs, the Chinese company behind the Winbot, is aware of the problem. But if I need to lean out a window 50 feet above street level to manually polish windows with a cloth, the very purpose of the droid is defeated.

In the end, there’s no way I can recommend this as a product. For $400, you want a window cleaner who doesn’t miss spots, won’t leave streaks, and isn’t going to get cranky when faced with anything other than a generous expanse of undivided pane. You’re much better off hiring a person—preferably a professional—to do the job. Download Undangan Pernikahan Dengan Word here.

(Unless you want to clean your windows with abnormal frequency and are OK with the abovementioned limitations. Or you just hate humans and strive to eliminate all service jobs.).

Follow If you have windows so large that you’re considering, congratulations on all your success. I have regular windows. If this robot could talk, I have a feeling it would tell me that it doesn’t spin up its squeegee for anything smaller than a floor-to-ceiling job. According to, the vacuum can “generate enough suction to the window to support the unit and allow it to maneuver easily.” You can also use a safety pod attached further along the Winbot’s power cord (it’s not cordless like a Roomba) to catch it if it loses suction for some reason. As for the actual cleaning process, reads as follows: The robot determines the size of a window, maps out the optimal cleaning path, and cleans in a thorough, efficient pattern while automatically avoiding frames and sills. Users simply spray the included cleaning solution on the front microfiber cleaning pad and it removes dirt, grime, and smudges as the robot courses across a window. The undermounted squeegee directs excess moisture to the rear microfiber pad that dries the window and wipes away streaks.

An internal vacuum pump and dual suction cups ensure the robot remains affixed to a window and anti-slip treads allow it to course confidently across glass. The included remote control allows users to direct the robot to a specific area and the robot is lined with a soft rubber bumper that protects window frames.
