Rating of the best robotic window cleaners in 2022 (TOP 10)

In this ranking, I have collected the 10 best window cleaning robots at the beginning of 2022. If you are already tired of risking your life and decide to get a window cleaner, then keep in mind that they come in two types: round with two rotating cloths and square with a rectangular napkin. For this rating, I selected 5 models of each type in the price range from 10 to 30 thousand. But when ranking, I took into account not only the price, but also other aspects: design, equipment, management and quality of cleaning. The pros and cons of each model are described taking into account the actual features of the washer, customer reviews and expert reviews. I’ll warn you right away that the ruble exchange rate changes daily, so I recommend looking at the current price using the links left in the description and in the pinned comment.

Table of participants in the ranking of robots for washing 2022

The best «square» washers

A straight-edged cloth allows them to clean edge and corner areas more efficiently. At the same time, almost all such robots have a static napkin, so a good result can be achieved in at least 2 passes.

Hobot 288

Fifth place goes to Hobot 288. This is a classic square type vacuum cleaner. Above — a bracket-shaped handle, indicators and connectors for cords, and under the bottom — a pair of caterpillars and a napkin with a cutout for a ventilation grill. The principle of operation is extremely simple: Hobot sticks to the glass, moves due to the rotation of the caterpillars and along the way cleans the dirt with a napkin. There is no water supply, the napkin must be moistened in advance. In addition to the standard modes (right and left side), there is a double-pass cleaning mode for heavily soiled surfaces. You can control the Hobot from the remote control or through a mobile application.

Hobot 288 weighs a little (1200 grams) and moves very quickly — 0.42 sq. m/min. The quality of cleaning is average: from the first pass the washer collects surface dust, from the second or third it removes stains. It is advisable to remove and rinse the napkin after each start. Autonomy is average — after a power outage, Hobot 288 can hang on the glass for another 20 minutes.

The price tag is solid — from 30 thousand rubles. Hobot 288 is a well-built and well-equipped washer, designed exclusively for preventive window cleaning. It’s simple, easy to use, does the job just fine, but it’s too expensive. There are many models with the same functionality and with a much more humane price tag.

iBoto Win 289

Fourth place goes to iBoto Win 289. Competitor Hobot 288 with approximately the same design and principle of operation, but with slight differences. Instead of a semicircular protrusion, a bracket-shaped handle is installed on the main platform, while the height of the case is only 85 mm. Such a washer is much better suited for washing windows under bars. The weight is almost the same — 1350 grams, so it is easy to install or remove the robot from the glass. Two basic modes of operation — along the N- or Z-shaped trajectory. Cleaning quality is standard. To remove surface dirt and wipe off stains, two to three passes are enough. It is convenient to control through the remote control, but if necessary, you can install a mobile application.

Price — from 20 thousand rubles. iBoto Win 289 is not inferior to Hobot 288 in terms of functionality, cleaning quality and ease of operation. At the same time, iBoto has a more comfortable handle, it is suitable for working under bars, and it costs 20% less. This is a good solution if you are ready to wash windows with your hands once every 3 months, and use the robot to maintain cleanliness.

Mamibot W120-T

Third place goes to Mamibot W120-T. Another washer with a static cloth and drop sensors in the corners. The case is made of white matte plastic, there is an L-shaped handle on top. The height of the case together with the handle is 100 mm. The napkin is fastened with Velcro. It has a cutout for ventilation holes, with the help of which a vacuum of 3000 Pa is created. More than 7 kg of force is required to tear the robot off the glass, so the Mamibot W120-T can work even in windy conditions. Standard functionality — Z- and N-shaped glass passages. Moreover, Mamibot works equally effectively both on large windows and on small windows larger than 40×40 mm.

The price tag is very attractive — from 15,000 rubles. Mamibot W120-T is not much different from previous robots. It cleans windows well, but is suitable for all surfaces, including polished furniture, mirrors and ceramic tiles. The main advantage of this model, which allowed it to get ahead of its competitors, is a moderate price tag.

Xiaomi HUTT W55

In second place Xiaomi HUTT W55. On the one hand, this is the same classic washer with a fixed microfiber and a standard set of modes, and on the other hand, it boasts several innovations. Firstly, the body height of it is only 77 mm. HUTT W55 is the lowest rated washer that fits barred windows. The second innovation is improved navigation with frame recognition. The robot understands that it has run into an obstacle and changes direction. The third important improvement is the dynamic pressure adjustment (maximum 2500 Pa). HUTT W55 controls downforce for high cleaning performance in all areas. The remote control is used for control. You can choose the direction of passages and the number of passages (1 or 2).

Cost — from 17,000 rubles. Xiaomi, as always, is one step ahead of the competition and offers innovative technology for modest money. HUTT W55 does a good job of preventive glass washing and does not leave streaks. The pressure control system helps it move over cracks and roughness on the surface to be treated, so the robot can be safely used on tiles.

Atvel Zorro Z5

Rating leader Atvel Zorro Z5. The fact that the robot belongs to the American brand Atvel can be judged at least by the branded gray-red color combined with high build quality. With a weight of 1 kg, Zorro Z5 creates a vacuum of up to 2200 Pa, therefore, adheres reliably to the glass and moves freely on dry and wet glass. Tracks with improved traction provide a harvesting speed of about 0.5 square meters. m/min is the best indicator in the ranking. Zorro Z5 confidently removes transoms and vents measuring 27×27 cm. Despite the small dimensions of the case (195x195x85 mm), the manufacturer was able to place a fairly powerful battery in it.. It keeps the washer on the glass for 40 minutes after a power outage. You can not be afraid that you will not have time to run to the window.

Price — from 25,000 rubles. Atvel Zorro Z5 — the smart all-rounder. It is suitable for all surfaces: frameless, barred, with joints, narrow and wide. The robot washes medium dirt well, and after the second pass it removes stains. Washes Zorro Z5 very quickly, so you can clean up the balcony in just 20 minutes — just have time to rinse the napkins and rearrange the robot. Great deal for a reasonable price.

The best «round» cleaning robots

In fact, they themselves are oblong in shape, but their napkins are really round, with a long nap. Under each napkin (mop) there are ventilation holes with which the washer sticks to the glass.

dBot W100

Fifth place goes to dBot W100. The washer is made in the form of a platform with rounded ends, on which a round handle is fixed. Installing dBot W100 on a window is very convenient, but because of this design, the height of the case reaches 120 mm — more than most analogues. The principle of operation is standard — the robot rotates the mops, moving along the glass and wiping dirt along the way. The set comes with 2 spare wipes — you can install them while you rinse out the main ones. There is no built-in tank, so you need to moisten the cloths in advance. A remote control is provided for control. Operating modes are usual: from top to bottom, from right to left, from left to right.

Price — from 15,000 rubles. dBot W100 is the simplest washer that is not inferior to more expensive analogues in terms of cleaning quality. The dBot W100 is suitable for small apartments with low to medium levels of pollution and where there are no bars on the windows. Despite the cheap price tag, there are full-fledged security systems: a UPS and a safety rope.

Xiaomi Hutt DDC55

In fourth place is Xiaomi Hutt DDC55. Robot with new type design. The washer looks like a large hand brush with ergonomic finger grooves. The round handle, like the dBot W100, is certainly more convenient, but the Hutt DDC55 is much lower — 85 mm. But the most interesting is inside the case. We are talking about a chip that controls the pressing force of napkins. Depending on the adhesion of the mop to the surface, it ranges from 2600 to 3400 Pa, providing the best quality of cleaning and not allowing the robot to break down. Hutt DDC55 is equipped with a gyroscope, so it acts intelligently: it clearly adheres to the chosen trajectory and understands when it hits the window frame. Full set of accessories available, including spray bottle and 6 pairs of cloths.

Issue price — about 25 thousand rubles. Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 is a much more expensive and high-quality washer than dBot W100. It has a beautiful design, reliable assembly, enough wipes for non-stop cleaning. To achieve the result when washing windows, it is recommended to pre-spray the detergent on the glass and let it dry, and then start the robot.

Genio Windy W200

Third place goes to Genio Windy W200. This washing robot is a complete copy of Xiaomi Hutt DDC55. To verify this, it is enough to simply compare the appearance of these washers: the same body shape, the same ribbed finger cutouts, the location of sensors and indicators — everything is the same. The control panel is represented by two buttons on the handle — in principle, you can start the robot without a remote control, but it is available. The only difference compared to the Hutt DDC55 is the body color, which in the Genio’s case is matte black. The functionality was also copied without changes. In particular, the robot automatically changes downforce depending on the characteristics of the surface.

Price — from 20,000 rubles. Genio Windy W200 differs from Xiaomi Hutt DDC55 only in case color, while Windy W200 is slightly cheaper, and the manufacturer provides an official warranty. Therefore, the option from Genio is more preferable. This is a quality robot for removing dust and small stains. And so that there are no streaks left, you need to run a second cleaning cycle with clean wipes.

HOBOT 388 Ultrasonic

In second place is HOBOT 388 Ultrasonic. This is a window cleaner with an advanced cleaning system. At the end of the case, it has a built-in tank and sprayer. During operation, HOBOT 388 sprays the area with water, and then runs into the wetted area with rotating wipes. Moreover, the water jet is crushed to a finely dispersed fraction (ultrasonic atomization), so it soaks the spots well. And for especially polluted places, there is a separate button on the remote control — with its help, you can additionally puff some water on the glass. There are 14 rags in stock, so you can safely finish cleaning the loggia, and then collect all the rags and throw them into the washer. If you do not want to use the remote control, you can install a proprietary application on your smartphone.

Price tag — from 35 thousand rubles. HOBOT 388 Ultrasonic is one of the coolest glass cleaners on the market. It boasts high quality materials, excellent equipment and a water supply system. The only drawback that did not allow this robot to rise higher was the too high price.

Cleanbot Ultraspray

The Cleanbot Ultraspray takes the first place among round cleaning robots. The Cleanbot Ultraspray takes the first place among round cleaning robots. Washer of the same type as HOBOT 388: streamlined body, the same cleaning algorithm, the same water supply system. Only the Cleanbot Ultraspray nozzle is not at the end of the case, but on the side. This arrangement has no functional advantages, but the robot looks more elegant. The washer sticks securely to the glass and drives through seams up to 1.5 mm deep. This may be true for tiles. Includes 14 mops — can wash up to 10 windows without intermediate washing of napkins. The remote control is used for control. Programs are standard: from top to bottom, from right to left, from left to right. There is also a joystick for manual control and a button for forced water supply.

Taking into account the described functionality, the price tag is pleasant — 25 thousand rubles. Cleanbot Ultraspray does not support smartphone control, but this is the only way it is inferior to HOBOT 388 Ultrasonic. It has the same functionality, equipment, ultrasonic water spraying, and the design can be considered even more successful. At the same time, the cost of Cleanbot Ultraspray is 10,000 rubles lower. Well deserved first place!
