Review on HOBOT-198: Ultimate Glass and Window Cleaning Robot with Remote Control - An Unmatched Cleaning Solution by Kio Voltero Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

It was taken exclusively for washing balcony glazing. Balcony 10 meters long, stained glass windows. Washing it all outside yourself (on the 11th floor), with sliding doors, is rather inconvenient, dangerous and dreary, and the robot does a good job of it. The glasses were not washed for 5 years, as a result, after the passage of 2 glasses, the napkins became very dirty, they already began to smear on the 3rd glass. I had to change. to clean ones. In total, there are 24 windows . As a result, with washing napkins and allocating time for work, it took 3 days to wash. It happens that it slides on the glass and cannot stop in the highest position, this is due to the application of a large amount of cleaning fluid. As a result, a strip of 3-5 centimeters at the top remains unwashed. To avoid this, apply a minimum of cleaning agent for 2-3 washings. If the windows have not been washed for a very long time and it is possible to walk by hand (you don’t need to make strong efforts and a lot of time), just moisten with plenty of water and wipe it off, then start the robot. So you keep the robot wipes clean longer. The difference from the glass to the frame of half a centimeter is not a problem, he sees and feels the boundaries, you don’t have to worry about it, he won’t hit the frame There is control from the phone, it is convenient to use it when you cannot hear the signal about the end of work, for example, if you close the door to the balcony, a sound notification of the end will come to your phone. Otherwise, it's easier to use the remote control. The kit includes a good (long) extension cord and a safety cable. I fastened the cable and the power cable together with a wire that twists the wires on household appliances. It's more convenient. The kit comes with 7 pairs of napkins and 2 pairs of fasteners (for these same napkins). Additional napkins are sold, for 6 pairs they ask from 1100.

Pros
  • Only after acquiring the robot, the balcony windows were washed from the outside!
Cons
  • Sometimes he is stupid, you press the command to flush starting from the top, he climbs up, stops, or stops in the middle of the window and starts emitting an error signal . It’s not clear why this is connected . It doesn’t happen often, but it happens to go clean up again, you just need to indicate the direction of movement again. In my opinion, he has an uncomfortable handle, one could think of something else, a handle, after all, like a "suitcase". This remark is only for cleaning windows from the outside. There are no problems with this inside. Outside, it is rather inconvenient to get it out after work, you have to twist your hands to grab it by the head with one hand (to hold it), and turn off the power with the other hand. It’s not very convenient to do this with one hand, at least I can’t do it. Or, instead of a handle, you need to move the on / off button to a more convenient place, so that all these manipulations can be easily done with one hand, and with the other, respectively, hold the safety cable. In general, this needs to be improved somehow by the manufacturer.
