The compact Liectroux X6 window cleaner is designed for dry and wet cleaning of glass of any thickness without any restrictions. When activated, the device attaches to the surface via a vacuum pump and begins cleaning. The manufacturer claims cleaning efficiency with a microfiber cloth of up to 99%, but a test showed that dried dirt still remains about a centimeter along the edge of the glazing bead. A small layer of dust also remained in the corners.

A special navigation algorithm allows the Liectroux X6 window cleaning robot to cover the entire surface of the glass: the cleaner moves in a zigzag pattern along horizontal and vertical lines, passing over the same areas several times to avoid streaks. Occasionally, the robot rotates around its own axis.

The window cleaner comes with a remote control that allows you to select the appropriate cleaning mode and control the device's movement manually.

The window cleaner is equipped with an uninterruptible power supply (650 mAh battery) that activates automatically during a power outage. The pump maintains operation for up to 20 minutes. If the power goes out, the window cleaning robot will automatically stop, sound an alarm, and flash a red indicator light.

For a device in its class, the Liectroux X6 window cleaner is quiet, with a noise level of no more than 60 dB, and doesn't cause much discomfort while cleaning.
