honestly, I'm hoping one day that they can somehow engineer a window-cleaning robot that can retract into the base station on its own and move to the next window section without any human interaction. when it's done, the whole hub will go back to its charging station. I have a massive 3-story home and would be nice if I can set this on a single floor and let it just clean that 1 floor without any supervision.
@@ModernDayReviews Mics are adaptive, so it's hard to judge solely by the recording. Seems like it might be a better design to use a magnet on the opposite side to reduce suction needed, then maybe it can be quieter.
Thanks for the good review. Two questions. Does the base station have to be plugged in to power during cleaning operation? I would like to carry it to wherever and just start the cleaning without looking for a power plug... sometimes a window is not near a plug. Secondly, if the safety suction beneath the base doesn't work, because the ground or floor is not smooth, can you still use the robot?
It only works on batteries. You charge the battery via a plug but you must unplug it to use it. I have real wood floors thats can't be suctioned and it works great.
The offical name is ECOVACS WINBOT W2 OMNI and I think if you see something with just W2, its just shorten for space or error but still the same product. I don't work for the company and there could be other versions elsewhere in the world, but here in the USA, it's only the W2 Omni. They still sell the W1/W1 Pro which you can see the difference between the W1 & W2 in this video - ruclips.net/video/3RqujkjFUQY/видео.html
You have windows that are divided up into smaller panes of glass (like a tic tac toe board) with low lying plastic dividers/frames. Will this cross those boundaries and clean the entire window or are they divided up too small and the machine looses suction and falls? I hope I was able to explain that well enough to be understood.
No, it has to be one solid piece of glass. Thats why you don't see me using it on those windows. Just the large window. If there are any window grids, the robot will run into them and think its the end of the window and go the other way. It could also break the window grid if they are thin and cheap. There are some windows however that have the window grid between the panes of glass so check to see where the grid is located. Understand, this suctions to the glass and it can never lose contact.
Thanks for the review. Really informative. Any idea how high the window frame edge needs to be? What if there is a gasket around the edge, as many windows have, would it still work?
The limitation of the height and width is determinded by the wire. The W1 has to be pluged into the wall but and the W2 doesn't need an outlet so the base can be moved closer to the window to gain more length. You should be fine with the gasket around the edge as the robot has rollers on all sides. But like like anything, you need to test and if the gasket is frail, then you need to fix it.
It's not for most people, as it requires a specific use case, such as a window in a high-rise building that you can access from another window. It's not intended for normal windows that you can clean by hand or access with a ladder or with pole. Secondary uses, if purchased for the primary use, would include easier-access windows or flat glass surfaces like a shower.
I work in a hospital ED... the number of 60 something men coming in seriously injured from falling off ladders is a concern. If something can keep older people off ladders, all the better for them.
You're right, this product is not for you, but you also may not understand the product or realize that other people have different use cases. This is mainly for windows you can't reach by hand or with a ladder, as doing it manually would be faster. As I mentioned in the video, this is for windows that can be accessed through another window, such as those in a high-rise building. Secondary uses, if you bought it for the primary use, would include cleaning normal windows you can reach, shower doors, and other flat glass surfaces.

Awesome review! I never knew they had these

Great review clear and straight to the point!!
Would it clean leaves and mold on the glass roof of a veranda?
Is it loud?
Not to loud but it will wake you up if youre sleeping in the same room. 6:15 (no adjustment was made)

Thanks! It seems to me that this window robot is the way to go and first one that gets it right in every way.
Are you happy with it, would you recommend to purchase?
What’s the difference between w2 Omni and just w2?

Reminds me of the robo-scrubbers in Mirror's Edge Catalyst
What is going to happen if there are rambling plants attached to the window? Will the robot avoid them or bump into them, damaging the plants?
It has NO obstacle avoidance. The bumbers are the trigger to stop and go the other direction.
Does the app notify you when a window is done, so you know to go move it to the next?

@@ModernDayReviews that's a fair point and one I hadn't considered

I can clean the window in the time it takes to move this thing from one window to another. Absurd.
