Top 10 Window Cleaning Robots in 2020

Within the framework of this rating, we will tell the readers of the site robovac.washerhouse.com About the best window cleaning robots of 2020. It's worth noting right away that window cleaning robots come in square and oval shapes (also known as round, due to the shape of their cleaning cloths). So, without going into too much detail, square robots are suitable for cleaning large and medium-sized windows. They are better at cleaning corners and along window frames. Round robots, on the other hand, are suitable for cleaning smaller windows. They are slightly less expensive, but thanks to the rotating discs, they are better at removing stubborn stains. That's why I've decided to highlight the 10 best models: 5 square and 5 round. So, let's start with the ranking of square window cleaners.

Important! Updated 2021 window cleaning robot ratings has already been prepared and published. We recommend watching the video version:

Top 5 Square Window Cleaners

Hobot 298 Ultrasonic

Our rating is opened by the new product of 2019 – the model Hobot 298 UltrasonicThe name of this Taiwanese company comes from the English words "Home" and "Robot." This robot features a unique technical solution—a special tank with an ultrasonic sprayer that sprays water onto the window during operation. This additional surface wetting allows the Hobot 298 to clean windows more effectively. Equipped with the latest Japanese Nidec brushless motors with a service life of over 15,000 hours, it's also the fastest robot of all the robots featured in this review!

Among the characteristics and functions, it is important to highlight:

• Control via remote control and app.
• Feedback in the form of technical messages on your smartphone.
• Navigation based on gyroscope and sensors.
• Minimum window size is 40*40 cm.
• Works on frameless windows, doors and mirrors.
• The speed of movement is 2.4 minutes per 1 sq.m.
• 6 operating modes.
• Emergency Li-Po battery with a capacity of 400 mAh.
• Emergency battery life (prevents the robot from falling during a power outage) up to 20 minutes.

Overall, the robot is quite interesting, equipped with all the necessary functions, and yet costs up to $250 in 2020. The window cleaner has been actively sold since July 2019, quickly gaining popularity, good reviews, and becoming a bestseller among HOBOT robots.

Bist Win A100

The only thing that can compete with Hobot is a window cleaning robot. Bist Win A100, who was the leader in our 2019 window cleaner ratingsThis model also features a unique technical solution. The robot's bottom is equipped with two cleaning modules, one of which is movable. This design allows the robot to effectively remove dirt.

Among the features of the model, I would like to highlight:

• Remote control.
• Minimum window size is 40*50 cm.
• Works on frameless windows, doors and mirrors.
• Speed ​​of movement up to 3 min per 1 sq.m.
• 4 operating modes.
• Emergency Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 650 mAh.
• Emergency battery life up to 30 min.

However, the robot is slightly more expensive. At the time of writing, the Bist Win A100 costs $289. Keep in mind that the manufacturer offers an extended warranty. This robot features a movable unit, so its cleaning performance is comparable. Furthermore, the robot has been on sale for 1.5 years and has received positive customer reviews.

Overall, the first two robots are alternatives to consider. Both options will handle the task well.

Ecovacs Winbot X

The top three is rounded out by another new product of the end of 2019 – the model Winbot X From the renowned Chinese company Ecovacs Robotics. This robot is unique in that it can operate for up to 50 minutes without recharging, meaning it doesn't need to be plugged in while working. This is a questionable decision, as 50 minutes isn't enough to clean all the windows, and the robot takes about 2.5 hours to charge. So, it's unlikely you'll be able to clean all the windows in your apartment or house in one go; you'll need to wait for it to recharge.

The following features of the model should be highlighted:

• Remote control.
• Minimum window size is 45*45 cm.
• Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh.
• Operating time up to 50 minutes.
• Cleaning speed is about 2.4 min per 1 sq.m.

Overall, the robot cleans windows well, but the company hasn't developed any unique solutions for its cleaning module. So, it's inferior to the first two in the ranking. And the price is higher: $300-$350.

iBoto Win 289

In fourth place is the model iBoto Win 289This robot has been on the market for several years and is also worth attention.

Among the characteristics and functions, it is important to highlight:

• Control via remote control and app.
• Emergency Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 650 mAh.
• Emergency battery life up to 20 min.
• Cleaning speed 2 min per 1 sq.m.
• Minimum window size is 35*35 cm.

The iBoto Win 289 has a standard cleaning unit: a square cloth attached to the base with Velcro. This window cleaner costs between $150 and $180. If your budget doesn't allow for $250 or more for an automatic windshield wiper, you might want to consider this model.

Liectroux X6

And finally, our rating of square window washers is closed by the most budget-friendly option - Liectroux X6This robot costs just over $100 on AliExpress, which is 2-3 times cheaper than top-end models. Its cleaning module is similar to the previous two models, but the cleaning cloth is much thinner, so it can't offer improved cleaning performance.

However, the characteristics and functions are not bad:

• Remote control.
• Minimum window size is 40*40 cm.
• Emergency Li-Ion Battery, capacity 650 mAh.
• Emergency battery life up to 20 min.
• Cleaning speed 2.4 min per 1 sq.m.

Overall, this robot will also make window cleaning easier and do all the work itself. However, keep in mind that the cleaning quality will be inferior.

Top 5 Round Window Washers

Now let's look at the 5 best window cleaners with round rotating cloths.

Hobot 388 Ultrasonic

A new model opens the list of the best round robots for window cleaning Hobot 388 UltrasonicThis robot, like its square counterpart, is equipped with a water tank with an ultrasonic sprayer, which automatically wets the surface during cleaning. It is also equipped with the latest Japanese Nidec brushless motors with a service life of over 15,000 hours. The robot's stylish, low-profile design is also noteworthy. The cleaning cloths extend beyond the edges of the robot's body for more thorough cleaning around windows.

Among the characteristics and functions I would like to highlight:

• Control via remote control and app.
• Ultrasonic spraying of liquid onto the surface.

Third place goes to a more budget-friendly model from Hobot – Trunk 188This robot costs around $160. It's similar in many ways to the 388 model, but it's controlled only by remote control and doesn't spray cleaning solution onto the glass.

Xiaomi Hutt DDC55

In fourth place is the new one Xiaomi Hutt DDC55This robot costs up to $200. The current offer at the time of rating was $17.50. The model looks quite stylish, with no unnecessary details on the body. Like the 388th Hobot, the cloths extend beyond the edges of the body for better cleaning.

• Control via app and remote control.
• Automatic increase in suction power when dirt is detected.
