ECOVACS WINBOT W2 PRO Omni Portable Window Cleaning Robot with Multi-Functional Station, Charging While Working, Intelligent Cleaning with Triple Nozzle Water Sprayer, 12-Level Protection

Amazing window cleaning robot! Our robot first!
Just got it out the box and it’s working like a champ! It wasn’t immediately clear if the instructions were to separate the water and solution. Apparently, from a YouTube video, just tap water until it’s filled then adding a few drops of the solution into the same spout.Also, not obvious on unboxing, the wiping pad is in the secondary bin alongside the hidden plug.Each large window takes a few minutes. It’s obviously not as meticulous as a window washer, however, for very dirty windows on the first Thorough Cleaning setting was perfect. Didn’t need to go over windows more than once. At first, we placed the robot too closely wedged to the top right corner of the window. You don’t need to worry about perfect placement but if too wedged, it doesn’t wriggle out easily to the rest of the window. Space it out 1-2” from the frame and it’ll clean the entire surface, no problem.Sounds just like a vacuum and it’s surprisingly compact and the sound chimes are well designed, too.Surprisingly, doesn’t use much water or solution so you really don’t need to refill after a dozen or so windows (I’m estimating?).Right out the box, had enough charge for two large patio windows but then had to find an outlet. The long cord is electrical so as long as you’re plugged in, you can reasonably clean all the windows in your home. Ours came in Saturday morning and by the afternoon, we got through 16 windows inside/outside, out of 66.There are streaks and minor misses, but overall, very minor and only noticeable if you look for them. No odors. Will definitely be using this little robot often! Great value of the cost!The replacement solution doesn’t look to be terribly expensive either given how much I’d anticipate a bottle to last. 5-stars for this new, happy customer!

Spidey powers, amazing results, does mirrors too
Wow! Great job. I have had this for about 18 hours and so far, it exceeds my expectations.Long review for those seeking more info about this great product, but hesitating.I own robot vacs, so not new to the experience. But because of those, I hesitated on getting one of these. The vac bots do well (not ecovacs, yet….) but have become very complicated and needy. Not the case with this bot.It and its app are quick to start to work, and simple to use! Set up the app first, it’s quick.I have a 2 story home with over 25 windows. Some on 1st floor are nearly floor to ceiling. Takes a ladder to clean most- even inside. With bad knees, ladders aren’t our friend – so I called a pro for an estimate- over $600 (inside & out). Nope, do it ourselves. This was a prime days deal, so with extra pads and ecovacs solution I was in at a little more than $500, beating the cost of a pro for one trip, but bot can do many more over it’s 3-6 year life.It does a great job inside, though this larger bot can’t do every window- some I’ll still have to handle, but not enough for me to look at the smaller bot yet. Outside, fantastic cleaning, streaked one window because I didn’t follow instructions and clean pad after each window, and mine were dusty. Fixed that by having a warm water/dawn solution in a small bucket followed by quick rinse. Inside, pad cleaning wasn’t needed but about every 3-4 windows.It’s about as loud as a vacuum on high power, so you won’t want to use it in same room and try to watch TV. 😉You also won’t get to leave it for long – it’s too fast for that. Cleaned my large windows on quick clean in about 4 min – on thorough same ones in about 6-7.Pros- no need for ladders -as long as you can reach the bottom part of a window well, simple setup and app, economically feasible over pros – comparable to self if using distilled water instead of solution – but less mess and work.Cons-this larger bot won’t get my traditional mutton panes well, nor tiny windows (did still get two smaller ones, so check your window sizes compared to the bot size) – & look at the mini if you hav mostly very small windows.Docking station is a bit heavy, about 19 lbs, so moving the bot and station may be tough for some. Once in place, the bot itself is only about 3 lbs and has a handle. The back storage – and cleaner storage are convenient, but the back compartment is a little difficult for me to open- probably a me thing, but it is a little tough to pull out. And the door has to stay down if charging from the wall, I haven’t seen a cord exit (notch to let the cords out while back door is up) making it less easy to move about, and a larger floor footprint while charging.To know- it pulls the cord out it needs from the dock, but the dock will need to be nearby. The bot isn’t independent of it. But the dock can be charged so working with outside windows away from power is still possible. The cord easily retracts with a push of button to remove trip issues.Update, be sure to install app first. It works without, but you have more control with. Bot got stuck on door handles (glass door) and fought some (and lost some) on window blinds installed inside frame. App helps you watch for these and pause/remote control the robot instead of ending a job.I opted for the W2 pro Omni because it covered most windows and had the dock/portable power. Will look at a mini for future just because of smaller window possibilities and carry weight (not getting younger).Haven’t tested upstairs yet, but the bot suction is very firm, so don’t expect issues and look forward to clean windows without acrobatics there.Cleans inside and outside without much of a mess. Does have a few tiny drips, so I’d keep a small cloth nearby if you have delicate items (window sill/wood floors). I make more messes using water and a chamois. Outside, we’d have clean windows, but the patio, lawn, etc would be soaked as we sprayed water, climbed, cleaned, sprayed rinse water, repeatedly. Bot is much cleaner!Would recommend as a way to keep windows clean vs waiting for a year or scrambling to spruce up for visitors.The safety instructions say for residential only. I wouldn’t hesitate to use on small buildings, but the cord length would stop work on high rises unless you could open the windows nearest the apartment.Overall, I highly recommend this if you have a lot of windows and don’t like cleaning from ladders! Even without all my windows available, it will pay for itself in 2x over a pro; and probably about 4x over fancy extend-a-pole solutions (that will still drown your yard below). Perfect, not completely- but as good or better than what I can do – & a lot less work/much safer.

Pros:​Exceptional Cleaning Performance: The robot leaves windows remarkably clean, with no streaks, smears, or marks.​Time and Effort Saver: It significantly reduces the effort and time required for window cleaning, especially for high or difficult-to-reach windows.​Safety: It eliminates the need to climb ladders for cleaning upper-story windows, making the task much safer.​Efficient Water Usage: The robot uses very little water to achieve a clean finish.​Effective on Large Windows: It’s well-suited for cleaning a large number of windows, both inside and out.​Manual Control: The user can manually control the robot like a “joystick” on their phone for non-standard window shapes.​Secure Attachment: The suction is strong and reliable, providing peace of mind when using the device on outside windows.​Worth the Price: The reviewer feels the expensive cost is justified by the product’s performance and convenience.​Cons:​Not a UK version: The specific “Pro” version mentioned is not available in the UK, which could be an issue for other potential buyers in that region.​Size Limitation: The robot is too large for small windows, requiring the user to clean them manually.​Automatic Program Limitations: The automatic cleaning program does not work on non-rectangular or non-square windows. The user must switch to manual control for these.
