Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060: A window cleaning robot from a popular manufacturer

Cleaning glass is a difficult and even dangerous task that requires a lot of time and effort. But now, beautiful, clean glass without much effort is a reality! The Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 robotic window cleaner is an intelligent assistant for maintaining a clean home, capable of performing tedious cleaning of vertical surfaces for you. The device can be used to clean windows, mirrors, framed and frameless glass, tables, smooth floors, and ceramic tiles. Notably, the robot is burglar-resistant. The cleaner is equipped with a built-in battery for autonomous operation during power outages, as well as a safety cable for safety. Intelligent movement patterns, an obstacle sensor, and a remote control allow the Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 robotic window cleaner to fully delegate the responsibility for cleaning vertical surfaces in your home. You no longer need to climb onto furniture and windowsills to clean high and hard-to-reach surfaces. The motor's high suction power ensures the cleaner holds firmly on vertical cleaning surfaces and produces low noise levels (up to 65 dB). In this review, we'll cover all the main features and functions of the windshield wiper, as well as examine how it cleans surfaces.

Equipment

The Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 package includes:

1. Window cleaning robot.
2. Power cable (4 m).
3. Power adapter.
4. Remote control (2 AAA batteries).
5. Safety rope (4 m).
6. Mop cloth (4 pcs.).
7. Cleaning agent.
8. Operating instructions.

Appearance

The window cleaner's body is made of matte black ABS plastic. A closer look reveals a square shape. The Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 window cleaning robot features a convenient handle with a backlit power button in the center. The front panel also features a power port and a special mount for a safety cable.

The working surface of the washer features feet and a platform that ensure a secure hold on the surface during operation. The base and feet are slightly spring-loaded and have a slight travel to ensure better grip on a vertical surface during suction.

As we mentioned in our previous review, the window cleaning robot comes with a four-meter safety cable. It can support up to 150 kilograms. Before use, it must be installed in its socket. The power plug is securely fastened to the socket, preventing it from falling out and causing the cleaner to lose power.

The Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 windshield wiper has Velcro strips around its perimeter for attaching the included cleaning cloths. A hole in the center of the base draws air in, creating a vacuum between the window cleaner and the glass. Tracks and a status indicator are located on either side of the air intake.

Functional capabilities

The robot is equipped with intelligent navigation and a sensor that detects the location of the frame and other obstacles, preventing them from colliding with the robot and causing it to fall. If the power supply to the Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 is interrupted, it will not fall and will remain on the glass for another forty minutes. This is possible thanks to a built-in 600 mAh lithium-ion battery.

The glass cleaning robot monitors the pressure and force of adhesion to the glass in real time and is able to adjust it if necessary.

The Bobot WIN3060 has the following operating modes, an overview of which is given below:

• N-shaped trajectory – vertical movement of the windshield wiper along the surface from bottom to top;
• Z-shaped trajectory – horizontal movement of the washer across the glass from left to right;
• Automatic mode – first runs in N-mode and then in Z-mode, providing more thorough cleaning of the surface.

Once finished, the Xiaomi Bobot WIN3060 vacuum cleaner returns to its original position. It cleans approximately one square meter in two minutes.

In addition to the remote control, the machine can be controlled via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a dedicated mobile app. The machine connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
