Equipment

The Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 package contains:

1. Window cleaning robot.
2. Network power adapter.
3. Remote control.
4. Safety rope.
5. Water sprayer.
6. A set of cleaning wipes for washing windows.
7. Operating instructions in Chinese.

The remote control uses AAA batteries. However, these are not included with the Xiaomi window cleaner and must be purchased separately.

Appearance

The window cleaning robot is made of ABS plastic and comes in a classic white color. Its dimensions are 375 x 315 x 85 millimeters. The device is very compact, but its shape is more remarkable: it's not square, but rather an elongated rectangle with rounded corners, reminiscent of a figure eight.

Thanks to its thin and lightweight body, the window cleaner is very easy to move from one place to another and install on an external window, glass in a bathroom, or a mirror in a hallway.

When reviewing the Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 from the front, we see two main control buttons: one button is responsible for powering the device, and the second for starting/pausing work.

The window cleaning robot features two rotating discs fitted with gray microfiber cleaning pads. These pads are mounted on the bottom of the device and effectively clean glass and other surfaces. Note that the pads extend beyond the edges of the robot. This allows the engineers to more thoroughly clean surfaces around the perimeter and into corners.

The window cleaner body also has a battery status indicator, a window for receiving a signal from the remote control, and a loop for attaching an 8-meter safety cord.

Functional capabilities

The Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 window cleaning robot is equipped with an ARM module and uses intelligent SLAM algorithms for cleaning. In other words, the manufacturer designed the cleaner to plan its route and ensure it doesn't miss any dirty areas. Furthermore, the device can automatically detect the level of dirt on the glass and increase suction power accordingly.

This window cleaner model also boasts AI functionality that detects any obstacles, including window frames, so the cleaner can turn around in time and avoid falling.

It's important to talk about how the Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 cleans surfaces. This window cleaning robot is designed with a powerful motor that rotates two discs with microfiber cloths attached.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of the Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 window cleaner:

1. Good equipment.

3. ARM module, SLAM navigation.
4. Automatic recognition of the degree of contamination.
5. Detection of frames and obstacles.
6. The wipes extend beyond the edges of the housing for more thorough cleaning of the surface.

As for shortcomings, no particular ones were found, considering the price was around $200 in 2020. The only nitpick is the lack of control via a mobile app.

Otherwise, the robot cleans as fast as most of its counterparts and is notable only for the fact that it recognizes dirt on the surface and presses harder for a more thorough cleaning.
