ECOVACS Winbot W1 Pro Window Cleaning Robot, Intelligent Cleaning with Dual Cross Water Spray Technology, Win SLAM 3.0 Path Planning, 2800Pa Suction Power, Edge Detection Technology, App Control,Grey

We have 7 large windows across the back of our home, and the Winbot Pro1 does a great job of keeping them clean. For our first foray into robotic window cleaning, we let Winbot clean the inside of our large windows and it did a great job. For the outside, I spray washed and rinsed the outside of our windows and that was a mistake. They were too clean for the Winbot to hold on to. So we waited through several spring rain storms and tried again, this time without the pre-wash. On our second attempt, Winbot worked exactly as it did inside, and made quick work of our exterior windows. This is a terrific product, expecially because we're seniors and can't risk falling off ladders.

This is my first time writing a review for a product on Amazon. After my first use of this product, I think it worth writing a review for.Our house had a few dirty windows on the second floor that were initially difficult to clean, due to safety concerns. This robot made it possible to clean them easily and efficiently.Pros:1. Can be used on windows, mirrors, and shower glass doors. It is very easy to use/set up and is very versatile, as it can be utilized on various surfaces.2. It's able to safely clean my windows. I won't have to worry about it falling off the window mid-procedure, since the suction is very strong and reliable.3. it's very easy to control using the app. With the click of just a few buttons, I can easily maneuver it wherever I want.Cons:1. The product is not wireless. It is attached to a power cord, which can be a bit inconvenient if there is no power outlet close by. Whenever I need to move it to another window, I need to unplug the cord first and connect it somewhere else.2. It's an investment. Although the product is very effective, it can a bit expensive. (I'd say it's worth the price)Overall this product surprised me with its effectiveness. My windows are finally clean, and I highly recommend it.

I got this as there are a couple of near impossible to clean windows in my house. (The house dangles over a ravine, so getting the outside of the ravine facing windows is...not very doable for those who value their lives.) Over time, they've gotten pretty grimy, so I got this, hoping it would work.And it did!The machine is pretty easy to use. Charge it a bit (it has an extra battery just in case the main power dies, so it doesn't go flying off a window), plug it in, tie it's teather to something, then stick it on a window and hit the on button. Then off it goes, rolling across the window and cleaning everything in its path.So easy to use and a great gizmo if you have hard (or impossible) to clean windows.I did knock off a star as the machine seems to get "confused" a lot and sort of not clean the entire window. This isn't a huge problem as I was able to just run it again, but kind of annoying. It also sometimes "lost suction power" and refused to move (at which point I had to haul it across the window by tugging on its tether and power cord), and it also sometimes refused to return to its starting point for some reason (which again necessitated me dragging it over).It also annoyingly kept bugging me to install its app...even after I'd done so. (Why, machine, why?) But it ran without it being installed so....IDK.But it works. Crazy as it seems, it really works. My windows now are clean, which is something I never thought I'd be able to do. So very much recommended if you have hard/impossible to clean windows. This little gadget does what it says it'll do.

Second revision: I contacted ECOVACS customer service. They said it’s under warranty for a year, as long as I had proof of purchase. Sent them my Amazon receipt and machine. They sent me back a new vacuum in about a week. Good on you ECOVACS!My original review is below, but I am revising this in April 2023. I bought this in jan 2023. Three and one/half months later, it is malfunctioning and making a tremendous racket. Cleaning the brushes and other parts I can get to doesn’t help. The problem seems to be in the mechanism that turns the brushes. If I remove the brushes, it runs quietly. But the minute the brushes are out back in, the noise begins.I contacted the seller and their response was basically “too bad”. They gave me “tips” on how to clean the vacuum, which is no help. I already do all the things they recommended. But why bother giving me tips on how to clean the thing when it no longer works!!!! I will not buy from this seller again.This is my second Deebot N79. My old one, which is 4.5 yes old, still runs and picks up dirt like crazy, but stayed making a squealing noise that I can’t fix by cleaning or adjusting anything. So, figured it was time for a new one. I have vinyl floors, no room to room carpet, but I do have small throw rugs one one 5x7 area rug. The Deebot does a great job on all of them except the area rug. It does “ok” on the area rug, but the pile is a little too high for the Deebot to do as well as an upright vacuum. I have three dogs, one of which is a shedder, and I run the Deebot nearly every day. I hope this new Deebot works as well and lasts as long as the old one did with daily use! The N79 is one of the least expensive eco vac models, but as good a job ad it does, I don’t see a reason for me to even think about more expensive ones. Plus, both my Deebot are much quieter than the two roombas I had some years ago.
