Xiaomi MiJia HUTT W55: An affordable square window cleaner with standard features
Washing windows in apartments located in multi-story buildings is a rather pressing issue and not always easy to resolve. Some owners prefer to hire professionals, while others try to handle the task themselves, risking their health. However, with the advent of window cleaning robots This problem has ceased to be a problem and has become a task. Today's review is dedicated to a model of such a robot from the well-known and popular Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi—the HUTT W55 (full name Hutt Window Cleaning Robot W55). In addition to cleaning windows, the device is designed for cleaning other glass, ceramic, wood, and other surfaces (mirrors, tiles, doors, cabinets, etc.). We'll discuss the features of this interesting electric window cleaner in detail below.
Equipment
The Xiaomi MiJia HUTT W55 window cleaner comes in a cardboard box with a convenient plastic handle for transportation.
The delivery set contains:
- The robot itself.
- Power adapter.
- Charging cable.
- Power supply and 2-in-1 cable with lock (8 m).
- Remote control.
- Reusable microfiber cloths (4 pcs.).
- Operating instructions.
- Quick Start Guide
- Warranty card.
Appearance
The HUTT W55 window cleaner is made of white ABS plastic, which resists fingerprints. The robot's body is square and has a matte finish.
The front panel features a pair of dark gray plastic recesses for easy grip and portability. In the center is an LED indicator that lights blue when the device is turned on. The window cleaner weighs only 1.8 kilograms, and the mechanical buttons are positioned so the robot can be easily operated even with one hand.
Top view
Unlike its predecessors, the new window cleaning robot features a slimmer body, measuring just 76 millimeters tall. This allows the robot to clean even windows protected by bars.
Side view
The HUTT W55's base features special tracks made of high-tech polymer with a resilient, adhesive outer layer and durable filler, ensuring the device moves without jamming or getting stuck. The wheels leave no marks on surfaces, a definite plus. The power button for turning the device on and off is also located here. Drop sensors are installed in the four corners. The window cleaner can also easily navigate around window corners.
Bottom view
Ventilation outlets on the base and sides provide the necessary conditions for timely cooling of components subject to heat.
When viewing the window cleaning robot from the front, we see special obstacle detection sensors. When obstacles are detected, the robot's speed is significantly reduced, eventually stopping completely. The HUTT W55 then switches direction. This eliminates the risk of collision and damage to the window frame.
Technical specifications
An overview of the main characteristics of this model of window cleaning robot is presented in the table below:
| Engine | Brushless 800W, 25000rpm |
| Battery type | Li-Po |
| Battery capacity | 650 mAh |
| Opening hours | 20 minutes (in case of emergency shutdown) |
| Suction power | 2500 Pa |
| Cable length | 8 m |
| Vertical thrust | 7 kg |
| Glass cleaning speed | 1 m2 in 3 minutes |
| Dimensions | 248*248x*76.5 mm |
| Weight | 1.8 kg |
The HUTT W55 window cleaner is equipped with a 650 mAh lithium-polymer battery, which provides the device with an additional 20 minutes of battery life in the event of a power outage. This is the standard battery life.
The device also features the option to adjust suction power based on the type of surface being cleaned. This is made possible by built-in FREESCALE pressure sensors. The maximum suction force is 2500 Pa, provided by an 800 W brushless motor rotating at 25,000 rpm.
Engine
Anti-fall technology and a robust safety rope capable of supporting up to 150 kg ensure the HUTT W55 remains secure and safe during cleaning. Its vertical thrust of 7 kg eliminates the risk of the window cleaning robot falling. A 6-axis gyroscope provides positioning.
Functional capabilities
The main feature of this window cleaner model is the use of innovative HUTTPLANING 2.0 technology, which allows the device to move along several trajectories.
To select one of the available operating modes, use the remote control, which is included with the HUTT W55. The remote control features buttons for on/pause (1), and selecting a single (W-pattern, 2) or double (W+Z-pattern, 3) cleaning pattern (5). Four buttons at the top of the remote control are used to manually direct the window cleaning robot in any direction (4).
Remote controller
The dynamic pressure control system ensures a tight fit on smooth and rough surfaces. It also features a sweeping function that sweeps away dirt and dried-on debris in a specific direction, indicated by intuitive icons on the remote control buttons.
The HUTT W55 window cleaning robot is excellent at removing a variety of dirt, including sand, bird droppings, dust, and more. It can also remove streaks and rain marks without leaving a residue. It cleans one square meter in 3 minutes. This is standard; faster cleaning is unnecessary, as it can compromise cleaning quality.
Advantages and disadvantages
In conclusion, we note that the window cleaner costs approximately $120-140. This is in the mid-price range. This model is quite good, as this multifunctional window cleaning robot can determine the direction of movement, recognize obstacles, operate reliably, and is suitable for use on a variety of surfaces. We'll highlight the robot's advantages separately.
Pros:
- Thin square body.
- Several driving modes.
- Long safety rope.
- Powerful brushless motor.
- HUTTPLANING 2.0 technology.
- Recognition of frames and obstacles.
No significant shortcomings were identified. It's worth noting that the robot isn't controlled via a mobile app. Furthermore, the cleaning system is standard, lacking a spray nozzle or a moving unit. Therefore, don't expect high-quality window cleaning from this model. We recommend checking out our ranking of the best robotic window cleaners of 2020.
