Dadget W120: A Stylish and Affordable Robot Window Cleaner

We continue to test robotic window cleaners and in this video we will look at the Dajet W120 model. The main difference from Gadget W100 The body has become thinner, making it suitable for use on windows with bars. The design has also been updated while keeping the price virtually unchanged, which at the time of writing is in the range of $7,000-$135. So, below, I'll test the Gadget W120 in detail, highlight its pros and cons based on the test results, and then express my opinion. So, let's get started!

Equipment

Let's start with the package. The W120 gadget arrived in this branded box:

The package includes:

1. Power supply with 4-meter cord.
2. Cable for connecting the power supply to the network.
3. 8 spare wipes. 2 more are installed on the robot itself.
4. Remote control with batteries.
5. Two spare napkin holders.
6. A spray bottle for spraying cleaning solution onto wipes.
7. Operating instructions in Russian.

Overall, the package is good. Let's move on!

Appearance

Now let's look at the design of the W120 gadget. It's oval-shaped, so the cleaning module consists of two round pads.

The case height is 9 cm, which is 3 cm lower than that of the younger W100 model.

The robot comes with a safety tether and carabiner attached out of the box. On top is a mechanical on/off button and a threaded connector for the power cable.

The body features recesses for easy gripping when installing and removing the robot from a window. On the other side are robot status indicators and a speaker for an audible warning in emergency mode.

The robot's status indicators are also duplicated on the underside. The wipes are of the familiar design. The holders are easily removed and reinstalled from the robot.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Gadget W120, as declared by the manufacturer, are displayed on the screen:

• Backup battery: Li-Ion, 650 mAh.
• Power consumption: 80 W.
• Battery life: up to 20 min.
• Dimensions: 295*148*90 mm.
• Glass cleaning speed: 1 sq.m./4 min.
• Maximum size of one glass: height 4 m, width 4 m.
• Minimum size of one glass: height 50 cm, width 32 cm.
• Noise level: up to 75 dB.

I measured the noise level myself. If the robot is indoors, the noise level is around 75 dB. However, if it's installed outside and the window is closed, the noise level will depend on the soundproofing of the windows. In my case, it was 61-62 dB.

Functions

The window cleaning robot is controlled using the included remote control. It features buttons for stopping the cleaning process, starting/pausing, manual control, and three automatic modes: up-then-down, left-down, and right-down. There is no dual-pass mode.

Testing

A detailed video review of the Gadget W120, including all tests, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Navigation and window cleaning quality

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, we'll check how the W120 handles its primary task – cleaning windows from the outside. We'll also be able to evaluate its navigation. The robot's first pass over the windows collects all the dirt. It's recommended not to wet the wipes to reduce the risk of smearing dirt across the glass. For the second pass, you can spray a little water or cleaning solution onto the wipes.

Let's compare the condition of the windows before and after:

Here I will just note that the weak point of all window cleaning robots without exception, including this one, is that corners remain unwashed due to the design features of the cleaning module.

Overall, the window cleaning quality is on par with similar devices. It navigates both narrow and large windows without any issues! No complaints about the navigation!

Application on other surfaces

This robot can also be used to clean tiled walls, shower stalls, and mirrors. It's even important to note that the Dadget W120 can gently move away from the edges of frameless surfaces without losing traction. However, the manufacturer does not recommend using this model on frameless surfaces.

But for those interested, this window cleaning robot can't function properly on horizontal surfaces. Its movement algorithm is flawed.

Emergency mode

Let me explain how the Gadget W120 operates in emergency mode. When disconnected from the power supply, the robot starts beeping and a red indicator light flashes on both sides of the robot. Here's how it works:

A light indicator and a beeping sound will allow you to promptly detect the problem and remove the robot from the window.

Let's sum it up

The Dadget W120 window cleaning robot was thoroughly reviewed and tested. I'll summarize and share my personal opinion of the robot after using it. Here's what I liked:

1. Good quality window cleaning.
2. The small height of the body allows it to be used on windows with bars.
3. Good navigation.
4. Suitable for washing narrow windows.
5. The robot's versatility. It's suitable for cleaning not only windows, but also glass doors, mirrors, and wall tiles.
6. Good equipment.
7. Affordable price.
8. Availability of warranty and service.

As for the shortcomings, the following were found:

1. It doesn't wash into the corners.
2. Does not work on horizontal surfaces.
3. There is no automatic water supply function.

Overall, the first comment is typical for all window cleaning robots. The rest are specific to this model. In any case, considering the price and the fact that the robot comes with an official warranty, I consider the Dadget W120 a good option for those on a budget. It cleans windows just as well as its competitors, making it a great choice for many!

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping. Bye!
