WINBOT W2 PRO Omni Portable Window Cleaning Robot with Multi-Functional Station, Charging While Working, Intelligent Cleaning with Triple Nozzle Water Sprayer, 12-Level Protection

Wow! Great job. I have had this for about 18 hours and so far, it exceeds my expectations. Long review for those seeking more info about this great product, but hesitating. I own robot vacs, so not new to the experience. But because of those, I hesitated on getting one of these. The vac bots do well (not ecovacs, yet....) but have become very complicated and needy. Not the case with this bot. It and its app are quick to start to work, and simple to use! Set up the app first, it's quick. I have a 2 story home with over 25 windows. Some on 1st floor are nearly floor to ceiling. Takes a ladder to clean most- even inside. With bad knees, ladders aren't our friend - so I called a pro for an estimate- over $600 (inside & out). Nope, do it ourselves. This was a prime days deal, so with extra pads and ecovacs solution I was in at a little more than $500, beating the cost of a pro for one trip, but bot can do many more over it's 3-6 year life. It does a great job inside, though this larger bot can't do every window- some I'll still have to handle, but not enough for me to look at the smaller bot yet. Outside, fantastic cleaning, streaked one window because I didn't follow instructions and clean pad after each window, and mine were dusty. Fixed that by having a warm water/dawn solution in a small bucket followed by quick rinse. Inside, pad cleaning wasn't needed but about every 3-4 windows. It's about as loud as a vacuum on high power, so you won't want to use it in same room and try to watch TV. 😉 You also won't get to leave it for long - it's too fast for that. Cleaned my large windows on quick clean in about 4 min - on thorough same ones in about 6-7. Pros- no need for ladders -as long as you can reach the bottom part of a window well, simple setup and app, economically feasible over pros - comparable to self if using distilled water instead of solution - but less mess and work. Cons-this larger bot won't get my traditional mutton panes well, nor tiny windows (did still get two smaller ones, so check your window sizes compared to the bot size) - & look at the mini if you hav mostly very small windows. Docking station is a bit heavy, about 19 lbs, so moving the bot and station may be tough for some. Once in place, the bot itself is only about 3 lbs and has a handle. The back storage - and cleaner storage are convenient, but the back compartment is a little difficult for me to open- probably a me thing, but it is a little tough to pull out. And the door has to stay down if charging from the wall, I haven't seen a cord exit (notch to let the cords out while back door is up) making it less easy to move about, and a larger floor footprint while charging. To know- it pulls the cord out it needs from the dock, but the dock will need to be nearby. The bot isn't independent of it. But the dock can be charged so working with outside windows away from power is still possible. The cord easily retracts with a push of button to remove trip issues. Update, be sure to install app first. It works without, but you have more control with. Bot got stuck on door handles (glass door) and fought some (and lost some) on window blinds installed inside frame. App helps you watch for these and pause/remote control the robot instead of ending a job. I opted for the W2 pro Omni because it covered most windows and had the dock/portable power. Will look at a mini for future just because of smaller window possibilities and carry weight (not getting younger). Haven't tested upstairs yet, but the bot suction is very firm, so don't expect issues and look forward to clean windows without acrobatics there. Cleans inside and outside without much of a mess. Does have a few tiny drips, so I'd keep a small cloth nearby if you have delicate items (window sill/wood floors). I make more messes using water and a chamois. Outside, we'd have clean windows, but the patio, lawn, etc would be soaked as we sprayed water, climbed, cleaned, sprayed rinse water, repeatedly. Bot is much cleaner! Would recommend as a way to keep windows clean vs waiting for a year or scrambling to spruce up for visitors. The safety instructions say for residential only. I wouldn't hesitate to use on small buildings, but the cord length would stop work on high rises unless you could open the windows nearest the apartment. Overall, I highly recommend this if you have a lot of windows and don't like cleaning from ladders! Even without all my windows available, it will pay for itself in 2x over a pro; and probably about 4x over fancy extend-a-pole solutions (that will still drown your yard below). Perfect, not completely- but as good or better than what I can do - & a lot less work/much safer.

We have several large windows on our home—some reaching nearly two stories high—and getting them truly clean has always been a challenge. Usually it meant dragging out a long extension pole with a squeegee or climbing a ladder, neither of which is quick or fun. Since I’m already a big fan of robotic cleaners (we have multiple robot vacuums, a robot mop, and even a robotic pool cleaner), this window cleaning bot immediately caught my attention. I’m glad I gave it a try, because it genuinely works. It cleans remarkably well, sometimes needing a couple of passes on really dirty glass, but it leaves the windows almost perfectly streak-free. The suction power is also no joke. I was concerned it might fall and I'd be out a significant investment... or even worse, it could fall on someone and cause a serious injury... I tested it by tugging the tether to simulate it snagging, and this thing held on like it was glued to the glass. Using it is simple: place it anywhere on the window, power it on, and let it do its thing. When it finishes, turn off the suction and you’re done. The only maintenance it really needs is flipping or swapping the cleaning pads when they get dirty, which is fast and easy. The only time it needed intervention was on our French doors, where the handle slightly overhangs the glass and the bot got itself wedged underneath. Not a big issue, but worth noting. The base unit, which the cleaner is usually stored inside, doubles as a battery pack allowing you to unplug the device and use the cleaner "cordless"! This was especially useful when I decided to take it on the roof to clean our solar panels of our desert property. Not sure what the runtime of the battery is, but i was able to clean 20 of our 77" x 40" panels with juice to spare! Overall, this little machine has saved us a ton of time and effort. For anyone with large or hard-to-reach windows, it’s absolutely worth it! Hey, it even cleans Solar Panels!

We have 28 windows 3’x3’, couple of doors and some smaller bathroom windows so a robot idea was very attractive. I read reviews at different times and places ordered this setup. I was hugely disappointed when reading instructions it said “Not for outside use”! 50%of value lost, hadn’t seen any review reference this! Then instructions stated “must be present and monitor while operating”. More value lost (you can still drink a beer while operating, but Bourbon goes better watching robots work)! Windows must have a 3mm rim (our inside windows complied), but again, negatives not mentioned in reviews and you now own this thing. Operation was interesting. Job done is very good to excellent. The robot removes dog snot, fly specks, and grandson’s greasy fingerprints very well…it double treats heavy spots, releases cleaning fluid mist when it senses need. It gets corners very well. Maybe the best advantage is that it’s 2” height moves perfectly behind curtains and hanging plants. Two of our windows were behind a large desk and had a two year film on them. The bot was easily released behind desk and completed work without having to move desk. Did have to repeat three passes to remove old film to achieve my satisfaction with job. Interesting programming watching it position itself and the process of cleaning. It likes to orient for long runs if windows aren’t square. Need to know: the bot is female. She talks to you telling “good suction as been achieved “ and “job completed, about to release from window”. The cloth cleaning pads need rinsed and rotated often, about every two windows. Easily done. I will order about 6 more of these just to keep the setup working with less interruption. Also, their fluid appears to work well on target areas. It appears to be economically stingy but will order more for storage. (If you don’t rinse and wring out pad often the robot will leave a rectangular “dirt” mark where it stops on window that is visible in certain light and angle, but cleaned often this is avoided). The machine is very easy to use. Needs three hour charge to get started, but charges while in use too. I needed an extension cord from our outlet to avoid bot lifting transformer/power cord off floor. Only aggravation is (was) the inclusion of a “tether cord” that is supposed to be attached to table leg or chair during use (no understanding of why and it was completely unnecessary for any operation we did). Maybe very large windows to avoid stretching power cord. Finally, with knowledge of operation it is a very good machine and probably makes indoor window cleaning easier, certainly more fun and entertaining! Dependability still to be evaluated. UPDATE when you download and use app it states in double clean “ for use in exterior cleaning “!

This window washing robot was the perfect size for my house and windows and patio doors. It works very well and does a very good job. It is not perfect, as some of the outside dirt doesn't come off with its use. But for my hard to reach upper windows that I used to have to get a ladder to clean, it works very well and cleans them very good. Once in a while a few little spots have to be hand wiped with a harder motion to get everything off. I would say this little guy gets about 98% of the dirt off of all the windows and patio doors I cleaned. It's very fun and easy to use and really is amazing how well it adheres to the window and how well it cleans overall. Turns a nasty job into a pretty pleasant experience.

I hate cleaning windows. And no matter how much I try, I never do a great job (probably because I don't want to do it in the first place.) So, when Ecovacs released their first Winbot, I was intrigued, but it was too expensive and too big. Fast forward to last week when I saw that the Winbot Mini was available and was under $200. I had to try it. It arrived yesterday, and I put it to work on our sliding patio door. Setup was simple. I let the internal battery charge (keeps the unit on the window in case the power disconnects), added the cleaning fluid, and prepped the cleaning pad. I used the thorough clean option (one of three), and within a few minutes I had a clean inside door, and shortly thereafter a clean outside door. The result? Wow! I was amazed at how good a job it did. The door looked great, and even though it had been ages since it was last cleaned, I only needed a single pass with the Winbot Mini. After that, I had to do all the rest of the windows. The Winbot was able to tackle them all including our front storm door. The only windows it can't do are the narrow windows on either side of our front door. We do have a couple windows, where the robot announced that it detected narrow windows, but it adjusted its pattern and still did a great job. I did notice a few spots one two windows where it left a small streak, but a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth and it was perfect. If anything intrudes on the window area, like the door handle on our storm door, the Winbot will leave a small area on the edge that it can't get to, but that's not its fault. The suction is impressive. At no time did the Winbot ever come off the glass, and while it's not quiet by any means, it isn't overly loud either. The unit will let you know when it's time to wash the cleaning pad and the sensors at the corners. I missed seeing the second cleaning pad in the box, so had I realized I had another pad, things would have gone faster because I had to keep cleaning and rewetting the pad as I went along. I'm going to buy some more pads so that when I do a cleaning session, I can have clean pads ready to go and just wash them all at the end. My wife was skeptical when I told her what I had ordered, but she was impressed by the results. And the great thing is that if a window needs cleaning, I can give it a quick clean now without having to wait until the next time we have window cleaners in.

I bought this to clean some large outdoor windows on the side of my house and am surprised at how well it cleans. This does not work for sectioned/paned windows, only windows without individual small window panes. I wish there was a way to clean windows with panes, but I know that is not what it is intended for, so I'll be looking to upgrade when a new version comes out! SETUP Simple setup with minimal effort - plug it in, fill it up with cleaning solution, and add the mopping pad and it's good to go! CLEANING I still don't understand how this suctions to the window, but it hangs on tight and doesn't let go! It has normal, deep cleaning, and edge cleaning modes. I typically use the deep cleaning for outdoor windows which uses more solution and requires filling up more often, but not too bad and worth the clean. It cleans relatively quickly and doesn't take long at all to clean. One thing to note is that when finished cleaning it will continue running to hold on to the window. So you need to generally pay attention and end the cleaning. You have to hold down the button to remove it from the window and the robot will announce it is about to detach to warn you. It should stay plugged in but there is a small backup battery just in case it comes unplugged while moving along and cleaning. That definitely gave me some peace of mind knowing it wouldn't immediately fall if the cord got caught. APP Unlike other Ecovacs products it requires a Bluetooth connection to use the app, which kind of makes sense since it doesn't have a dock like a vacuum. The functionality is more limited but it does everything it needs to - primarily picking between normal, deep cleaning, and edge cleaning modes. Overall it does a great job for what is meant for, is easy to use, and easy to set up.

This isn’t a bad product, but in my opinion the Winbot mini window cleaner robot doesn’t save time and isn’t worth the hassle. The biggest issue I noticed is in my video. Most of the cleaning solution turns into mist and goes into the air, so the glass stays dry. I used about 1/4 of the bottle per window and still ended up dry-cleaning most of it. I thought about pre-spraying them manually with windex but the manufacturer said not to use non oem solution. It wasn’t a windy day, and the misting nozzles are pointed outward and away. I live in the Southwest, where it’s hot and dry, so the fluid will evaporate before it hits the glass. This was a cool January day and it was already ineffective, which means it will only get worse later in the year. The cleaning pads get dirty as fast as your windows are dirty. I had to clean the pad after every window, and it still left streaks. The windows were very dusty, so my wife had to pre-clean them. At that point I started wondering why we even have this device 😂 I also tried it on a glass shower door with the same result. The solution goes airborne, the glass stays dry, and it actually did a poor job. You also have to monitor it constantly, so it doesn’t save time unless you enjoy watching it clean. I didn’t get a chance to download the app and see if they have any way to point the nozzles down on the glass more but I doubt it. Between finding an outlet, refilling the solution, cleaning or replacing pads, and storing the unit, it’s easier to use a good squeegee and window-cleaning solution. Plus, with traditional cleaning you can also clean the window frames, screens, and weep holes at the same time. Sorry ecovac, mine is going back and I’m going to order a top quality squeegee and window washing concentrated solution.

I couldn’t believe what a great job this little, quiet machine can do!!! I Iike that I can run it on battery or plugged in. I’ve used it on at least 40 window cleanings and it’s still going strong! We live on the ocean so the windows get really salty. If the windows are especially dirty I did need to run it 2 or 3 times on the window to get a perfect result BUT who cares? I didn’t need to do any work or climb a ladder. Occasionally it leaves a vertical streak line but that wipes right off with a microfiber cloth. I have shown it to lots of my neighbors in our condo building and I have “sold” at least 8 more…you’re welcome Ecovac!!!
