This window robot is great! It is small, so it’s footprint allows it to be used on normal windows that have a small area, or side- light windows, or even grided windows. It works very well, easy to use, and is amazing at leaving windows streak free. I’m not sure how well it works if one uses some substitute window solution other than what is made by this company. It would be great if one could detach the safety cord as it is somewhat useless for ground level windows and gets in the way. It would also be nice if the power cord was longer or there was an adapter to make the cord longer. I was very pleasantly surprised by its performance, but you really have to stay there while it’s cleaning the window unless you have very large windows because it gets done so fast.I was hoping it would work to clean the sunroof on my Tesla or the windows on my car, unfortunately it keeps saying it’s at the edge of a window even when it’s in the middle. Not sure how this is determined, but it could be the curvature of the glass because I noticed when I put it on the roof of the Tesla it does not lay flat against the glass and you get a low suction alarm. It might be possible to put a spacer pad in such that you can see a larger area, but this has to be confirmed from the manufacturer.. I have not used it on any heavy duty mode other than but the default mode works just fine. I have very dirty windows all the time on the west side of my house from the well water from my sprinkler and it cleans crystal clear.Cleaning fluid us expensive but there is enough supplied for two times on a 1800 sqft house. The refill should last well over a year and is cheapest ordered direct.

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!SETUPSimple setup with minimal effort - plug it in, fill it up with cleaning solution, and add the mopping pad and it's good to go!CLEANINGI 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.APPUnlike 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.

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 “!

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 don't write reviews - but had to share that I wish there was a 6th star.Just WOW! This product is AMAZING and truly remarkable for the price point (or any price point). I am fortunate to have home with huge windows that we've gotten quotes of ~2K to clean. This unit does a better job, faster, and for $240ish dollars.Moreover, and I'm embarrassed to day (and likely need to get out more), it's sincerely fun to use. So many of these home "robots" necessitate a 30 pg instruction manual and 12 years in Vienna and a Ph.D. to decipher. Further, they tend to be pretty buggy and take forever to figure out how to manage around their shortcomings.This product is truly brilliant. While it has an app, what is truly wonderful is you don't have to mess with the app. once set-up. You simply start the unit and off it goes retaining your preferences. ECOVACS has really thought through the user experience such that it's painfully simple and efficient.It's rare in life to find something that gives you what can't be purchased: The gift of time.Just wow....

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.

All the ecovacs reviews seem to be lumped together. This review is for the ecovacs Winbot Mini. I ordered this because I have high 2nd story windows that are difficult to access without a ladder. The product in concept has a lot of potential. Stick it to a window and let it roam around until the window is clean. There are a couple of major issues, however, that made it not work for me. First, the cords need to either come up the outside of the house, or from inside, but then the window can never be shut to allow the device to clean the whole thing. The second issue is the device just seems to smear the dirt around instead of really picking it up. The edges never get clean, and when the sun shines through the window I could see streaks and marks. It also leaves a nice smudge when you remove it that needs a follow up cleaning with a rag. Third, the device is slow! I can typically clean my windows inside and out with a squeegee and a rage in about 5 mins per window. This device takes 5 mins per pane, or 20 mins per window for most of mine, and then wrestling with cords and the safety rope getting wrapped up on bushes and trees, and getting all tangled takes another 5 mins. What normally takes me about an hour took all day with this. It was in no means a time saver even though it’s supposed to be autonomous. But the deal breaker was that this device was constantly getting stuck with a blinking red light indicating “not enough pressure”. Our windows have a shallow bezel next to the glass, and the device would not detect the edge of the glass but instead run up over this bezel. It would then start blinking red and stop. I could manually move the device off the bezel, but then it would just start over cleaning from the start and get stuck again, never finishing the window. After this happened dozens and dozens of times, I gave up and went back to a squeegee and was done in 30 secs. Great concept, but flawed with some window brands and designs. Make sure your windows have an edge that the device can bump up against before purchasing this device.

First of all I took away one star because of its cleaning Behavior on larger windows and I don't say large Windows because the window was only five high and eight wide. If I started the robot on the bottom corner where it's most accessible it would only make it about two and a half feet up from the bottom and it would run to the top and it would make a sweep across the top and then it would say i'm done after only doing 20% of the window. I then had to restart the process and remote control up to the upper edge again and then restart it and it finished the window in a normal fashion at that point.On a 6x6 window it worked fine no issues top to bottom. It dries the pad after one pass so I had to replace it and thought that was a little bit odd. This particular window is about 8 ft off the ground on the bottom Edge outside so we'll see how it does out there when the weather warms up. I am 78 years old and ladders are a no go for me so this needs to work on upper Windows outside.It does clean extremely well and I'm very happy about that.The safety cord is a joke, it is there just to protect the manufacturer should it fall off a window and hit somebody - it has no real practical use.It does seem to not like a very wet pad. It squeaks away and until the extra water is removed and then it continues to finish it's task.

Cleans very well (except few dirty corners) useful for houses with big and difficult windows to clean

Me encantó, funciona muy bien, ayuda para mantener la limpieza de los vidrios, si hay manchas de pintura o algo muy pegado, no lo quita, solo mantiene limpio, me encanta.

I love this product

Excellent cleaning

Gostei muito.
