Window cleaning robots haven't been a part of everyday life for as long as robot vacuum cleaners, but they've already captured the interest of many. Redmond is known for its wide range of smart home appliances, so it's no surprise they've decided to release an automatic window cleaner under their brand. This article provides a detailed review of the Redmond RV-RW001 smart window cleaning robot. We'll explore the device's features, advantages, and disadvantages.

Equipment

The entire kit fits into a medium-sized corrugated cardboard box. The box itself has a clean, modern design. It features photographs of the Redmond RV-RW001, along with its specifications and features. The kit includes:

Window cleaning robot.
Remote control.
Power cord.
Network adapter.
Safety cord with carabiner.
Operating instructions.
One year warranty card.
Power cord extension.
14 reusable microfiber cloths.
Removable rings for mops (4 pcs).

Redmond configuration

Since there's no storage case for the window and mirror cleaner itself, it's best to keep the box. It'll be a convenient place to store both the cleaner and its accessories.

Appearance

The designers created a simple and understated look for the windshield cleaner. The body itself is made of high-quality black plastic. The top is glossy, while the bottom is matte. A central protrusion serves as a handle. Under this handle are special holes that allow air to escape during cleaning. To ensure comfortable and safe handling, the handle has roughened grips that prevent the device from slipping.

The Redmond RV-RW001's front panel has two buttons: one turns the device on, and the other starts operation. These buttons are located on opposite sides of the handle. The panel also features indicator lights that indicate the wiper's operating status, its charge level, and if it encounters an obstacle.

The company logo is located above the Start button. Below the power button is a connector for the power cable. On the side of the case is a hole for the safety cord.

Side view

A review of the bottom of the window and mirror cleaning device revealed two ring holders. These allow the robot to navigate vertical surfaces. The rings and microfiber brushes are also attached to them. There are also status indicators on the bottom of the housing. These are necessary for monitoring the robot's performance while cleaning the outside of the window.

Functional capabilities

The Redmond RV-RW001 smart robotic cleaner can be controlled in several ways: using the buttons on the control panel, a remote control, and a mobile app. Before using, we recommend fully charging the battery. The battery charge indicator on the control panel will change from orange to green.

Control via smartphone

To start the windshield wiper, simply plug it in and press the start button on the control panel. A safety tether can be attached for added safety. The instructions state that the robotic cleaner is designed for cleaning windows at least 3 mm thick, as well as tiles, mirrors, and any smooth surface.

Window cleaning

The principle of cleaning surfaces from dirt is very simple. The attached mops rotate, breaking up and wiping away dirt. The Redmond RV-RW001 also sucks up small particles during operation. Although the robotic cleaner has a built-in battery, it is powered by an AC power source. The battery is designed to keep the device on a vertical surface if unplugged. Experience has shown that the battery keeps the device on a surface for up to 20 minutes.

Operating instructions

An instruction manual is included with the Redmond RV-RW001. It provides a detailed overview of all the features and technical specifications of the robotic cleaner. The manual describes how to operate the robotic cleaner, its operating modes, and maintenance instructions and recommendations. It also includes safety precautions and tips for first-time use.

The manual also includes a separate insert describing how to use the mobile app. For more information or to download the manual, simply follow the link: RV-RW001 manual.

Advantages and disadvantages

Testing and reviewing the Redmond RV-RW001 revealed all the pros and cons of this robotic cleaner. The advantages are as follows:

Small size of the windshield wiper.
Possibility to control not only the remote control, but also the smartphone via the app.
Good quality of cleaning.
Reusable mops included.

The disadvantages of a robotic cleaner include:

Due to the round shape of the mops, the device is not able to clean corners on windows.
The device does not clean windows without frames and may fall off.
It makes a loud noise when working.
High price.
The device will not clean a heavily soiled surface the first time.

Overall, this is a decent option for frequent cleaning of glass and mirror surfaces, but it's far from the best. Considering the washer starts at $130, you can find a similar device with fewer drawbacks for that price.
