What is a robot for washing windows?

Window cleaning is a process that brings little pleasure, but you can not completely abandon it. Sometimes, because of the height of the building, cleaning the windows becomes not only uncomfortable, but also unsafe. The device, which appeared on the market of home appliances relatively recently, turns this process into a mere expectation. The robot will do everything for you. When the work is done, the device will sound a beep, informing about it. The quality of cleaning you will be satisfied.

The process of robotic glass washing combines automatic movement with wash function:

• The device keeps on the glass thanks to the suction motor with power.
• After the device has adhered to the surface, the motor drives it in the direction from edge to edge.

Thus, it becomes real to wash even the high windows that the person himself could not clean completely before. Some models have very specific options in the functional. Also, in different instruments can be implemented their cleaning methods and their limitations in height.

Robot for washing windows. Basic parameters of the device

When choosing such a device, it is first of all necessary to repel the surface area that you are going to clean at a time. Also it is necessary to take into account the methods of robot control - it can be carried out remotely, or be fully automated. The following specifications will disclose all important aspects of the choice of this device.

Battery life

Most of these glass washing devices have a relatively short battery life. With one charge, the device can, on average, wash approximately 3 windows. This means that the robot for washing windows can work only 15-30 minutes. Therefore, it is worth considering the number and size of insulating glass. The longer the battery life, the more profitable will be the purchase.

Important! It is worthwhile to understand that appliances with a long time of continuous operation are more expensive.

Suction or magnetic clutch

These devices are of two types: magnetic and with suction motors:

• Magnetic clutch provides securing the second part of the magnet on the opposite side of the glass. In some cases this can cause difficulties.
• It is much more convenient to consider suction on the electric drive. It's enough just to place the robot on the glass.

Important! Unfortunately, there are situations when this method fails, therefore, to insure an expensive device from falling, you will need to attach a safety wire to it.

The process of washing windows and complete equipment:

• As a rule, the robot for washing windows uses brushes or cleaning wipes. Some devices offer drying options, for example, with a squeegee. Thus, you can not be afraid of the appearance of divorce.
• Models that offer a two-stage cleaning method are quite practical. They clean the dirt and polish the glass.
• Depending on the model, the equipment may differ. Also, you should know in advance whether the robot will need to refill the glass cleaner before starting its operation.
• Some robots for washing windows have brushes designed to clean other elements of your house, for example, shower cabins, mirrors, doors.

Device management

There are models that are controlled by remote control, but there are those whose work process is fully automated. There are also more expensive robots, where the control is combined and combines these two methods.
