Choosing a window-cleaning robot suited to your windows
Start by measuring each glass surface you want to clean. Minimum supported dimensions and the space needed for movement vary between devices. For frameless glass, check that the manual permits this use and explains edge detection. Never assume compatibility with textured glass, angled surfaces or uneven seals.
Next, examine the power supply, cable length and instructions for securing the safety cord. A backup battery generally maintains adhesion during a power cut without allowing cleaning to continue. Automatic spraying, cleaning pads and movement patterns also affect everyday maintenance. Finally, the robot’s shape does not guarantee complete corner cleaning: consult the documented limitations and buyer feedback.
