РA window cleaner is an automatic device that can be attached to smooth vertical surfaces and clean them. The device simplifies the care of windows and allows you to safely wash the glass from the outside, even where access is difficult and dangerous.
However, this is a new and still unusual technique. Often, buyers choose a model irrationally and are disappointed in this washing method.
Types of window cleaners
There are many varieties of glass cleaning robots, differing in shape, type of cleaning, control and power supply.
But first of all, when planning a purchase, decide on the attachment to the surface.
There are two types of devices:
Vacuum | Magnetic |
The washing surface is pressed against the glass by a rod from an electric pump. | They are held by magnets in blocks that are installed on both sides of the glass. |
Also suitable for washing tiles, tiles, mirrors. | Such models are intended only for washing windows. |
The process of installation and removal from the surface of these robots is very simple. | Installing and removing is quite difficult. |
The pump provides a less secure fit than a magnet. The risk of falling is especially high for low-cost models. | They cannot be mounted on glass thinner than 0,5 cm or thicker than 2,8 cm, i.e. not suitable for washing standard double-glazed windows. |
The cost is lower than that of magnetic models. | They consume less electricity compared to vacuum devices. |
They have small dimensions and weight. On average, 1,5 times lighter than magnetic robots. | Do not fall, even in the event of a power failure. |
Recommendations for selection
When choosing a window cleaner robot, first of all, you should evaluate the working conditions – the size of the windows, the location of the sockets, the presence of frames. This will help you navigate the parameters of the model.
Scope
Before buying, check the range of tasks that a smart window cleaner can handle.
Do not expect that the device will be able to remove serious pollution. Bird droppings, clods of dried mud, fluff or feathers must be washed off before starting manually.
Type of cleaning
Many models support two cleaning modes – dry and wet, alternating them in a single cleaning cycle.
For washers without automatic spraying, the type of current cleaning depends on whether the user has moistened the cloth.
But some window robots perform only one type of work.
- Dry cleaning is critical for windows facing a busy roadway. If you do not first wipe off the soot from the exhaust of cars, stains will remain on the glass after washing.
- Wet cleaning involves the use of detergent or clean water. Some robots have a reservoir for liquid and wet the napkin or glass themselves. Such devices are 1,5-2 kg heavier than simple models, the rag of which must be moistened manually.
Power supplies
Window robots can be powered by mains or battery, there are also combined options.
- From the network, the device can work for an unlimited time, which is convenient when washing many large windows (for example, in glass offices). But it is worth considering that after 2-3 hours the robot will start to overheat. In addition, the cord must reach the nearest outlet.
- The battery allows the washer to work in any place, but increases the weight and price of the device. Such robots are more suitable for the home, as modern models have a short battery life.
- Combined power provides insurance in case of power outages in the network – the robot will switch to battery power and not fall.
Suction power
This indicator affects the speed, quality of cleaning and reliability of attachment to the surfaces of vacuum robots.
More intensive suction is relevant for universal models.
Network cable length
The lack of cord length significantly affects the comfort of use. Try to choose models with a cable no shorter than 5 m, but for universal robots that can wash walls and most surfaces in the house, this is not enough. The safety rope must be the same length.
Contents of delivery
The device, equipped with all the accessories necessary for its operation, does not create illusions for the buyer about the full cost of the acquisition.
In operation of any window robot, at least two things are required:
- safety rope;
- napkins.
For robots with the ability to work autonomously, the following are required:
- Power Supply;
- Charger;
- battery.
Also, depending on the design and functional features, the device may be accompanied by:
- charging station;
- fixing ring (for attaching wipes to the washing panel of oval robots);
- remote control;
- polishing cloth;
- cleaning agent;
- spray gun for manual wetting of napkins;
- extension cord for network cable.
Dimensions
The advantages of small window cleaning robots include greater maneuverability and economical power consumption compared to massive devices.
But these devices cannot boast of a capacious battery and high power, which means they cope worse with pollution.
Shapes (square or oval)
The appearance of two forms is due to different principles of movement of window robots:
- Oval. Washing and moving on the glass is provided by rotating discs under the body, covered with microfiber cloths or dense synthetics.
- Square. The washing panel with a napkin is installed on a flat platform and occupies almost the entire lower part of the case. Movement occurs due to wheels or tracks.
There are no significant differences in the quality of cleaning. Square models are a good choice for medium to large windows.
Oval-shaped robots are recommended to be purchased for small and medium windows due to their lower speed. Also, these devices are lighter in weight.
Window Cleaning Methods
Depending on the nature of the movements of the washing module, robots can clean the surface in several ways:
- friction of rotating disks;
- wiping the movable panel with a cloth, followed by a static module, collecting moisture and exfoliated dirt;
- by erasing dust with a rag mounted on a fixed platform.
During the cleaning process, the window robot can spray water or washing liquid onto the glass.
Management
There are three options for controlling window robots:
- buttons on the body – the lack of remote control allows you to reduce the price of the device;
- the remote control is the most familiar and convenient way for most people;
- application on a smartphone – provides flexible control (set the trajectory of movement, delayed start, receive notifications about the status of work, etc.), you can give commands from another room.
Cleaning speed
You should not chase high-speed models – if the robot moves quickly on the glass, it wipes dirt less thoroughly.
Minimum window size
The parameters of the window in which the device can carry out work depend on the dimensions of the robot and its shape, therefore they differ for different models.
Battery life
Backup batteries are typically rated for 20-50 minutes. This time is enough for the user to remove the device from the window.
Washing frameless windows and corners
To calculate the edge of the surface, some models are equipped with special sensors.
A similar function is often provided with square-shaped devices. The main disadvantage of such models is poor washing out of corners.
Availability of a guarantee
A window cleaning robot is quite an expensive device, so it is important to make sure that a warranty is provided when buying. It is worth choosing manufacturers that have a fairly wide network of service centers in Russia.
Touch sensors
In some models, the function of determining the degree of glass contamination is implemented. Depending on the readings of the corresponding sensor, the device regulates the suction force, spending its resources more rationally.
Other Features and Options
Among the options that a window cleaner robot can have, you should pay attention to a number of really useful features:
Function | Description |
Automatic stop | After the cycle is completed, the window cleaner returns to the starting position and stops working. |
Automatic detection of the cleaning area | Useful option for universal devices. Using the sensor, the robot builds a map of the cleaning area. Due to purposeful movement, he performs work faster than with chaotic movement. |
Sound indication | Sound signals are intended for messages about a low battery charge, the end of work or local problems. |
LED indication | LED lights of different colors on the body of the device transmit information about the operating mode, battery level and malfunctions. |
obstacle avoidance | The device changes the trajectory of its movement when an obstacle is detected and cleans the surfaces around it. |
Work on rough surfaces | The spring-loaded platform allows the robot to clean not only smooth, but also uneven surfaces with high quality. |

Answers to frequently asked questions
In addition to the functional features and capabilities of window robots, users are often interested in a few more questions.
How does a window cleaning robot work?
The device consists of several parts:
- Metal or plastic body.
- Intelligent module. Performs an analysis of the cleaning area, determines the optimal trajectory of movement.
- Working block. Performs cleaning. Its design depends on the method of washing, fastening and moving the robot.
- Sensors. They control traction, recognize frameless edges and obstacles, scan the perimeter and build a map of the working area.
- Navigation module. Present only in magnetic models, mounted on the reverse side of the glass relative to the working part. Together with a special block on the main part of the device, it creates a powerful magnetic field to hold the device on the glass.
What is the best product to use for cleaning surfaces?
Many of the robots allow the use of cleaning agents. In this capacity, you can use any solutions for washing glass surfaces.
Some manufacturers warn that the use of liquids for hand washing contributes to rapid wear.
Window robots are a fairly young type of household appliances, so modern models are largely imperfect. But with all the shortcomings, a window cleaner will facilitate the work and protect the life of the owners of windows on the upper floors, deaf or sliding, panoramic windows.
The purchase is also advisable for those who live near roads, highways, construction sites, where windows need to be washed frequently.
