How to Choose a Window Cleaning Robot?

In the modern home cleaning industry, the advent of window cleaning robots has greatly freed people's hands, making the tedious and sometimes dangerous task of cleaning windows much easier and more convenient. However, with so many brands and models of window cleaning robots on the market, how can you choose the right product for your needs?

 

 

Attachment Method and Suction Power

· Attachment Method: The two most common types are vacuum suction and fan suction. Vacuum suction requires a high level of flatness on the glass surface, making it suitable for smooth, flat glass; fan suction has a wider range of applications, as it can also attach to glass with stickers, frosted glass, marble walls, tiles, and other flat surfaces.

· Suction Power: It’s generally recommended to choose a window cleaning robot with strong suction, such as those with a suction power of 2500pa or higher. Strong suction ensures the robot stays securely attached to the glass, reducing the risk of it falling during cleaning. Alfabot’s entire range of window cleaning robots features suction power of over 2500pa.

 

Cleaning Performance

· Cleaning Cloth Material: High-quality cleaning cloths are often made from microfiber, which has good water absorption and retention properties, allowing it to better attract dust and dirt, making window cleaning easier.

· Cleaning Modes: Common cleaning modes include automatic, deep cleaning, and spot cleaning. Automatic mode is suitable for regular cleaning, deep cleaning mode is designed for more heavily soiled windows, and spot cleaning mode focuses on stubborn stains in specific areas of the window.

· Spray Function: Some window cleaning robots come with a spraying feature, which sprays water during cleaning to keep the cloth moist, softening dust and stains, and enhancing cleaning effectiveness. Alfabot’s window cleaners come with AI-powered dual-edge spray mist and ultrasonic automatic bidirectional spraying.

 

Smart Planning and Obstacle Avoidance

· Path Planning: A good window cleaning robot can automatically detect the distance to the edges of the window and plan a reasonable cleaning path, such as N-shaped, Z-shaped, or arc-shaped patterns. This ensures that every corner of the window is cleaned, and after finishing, it will return to its original position.

· Obstacle Avoidance: A mechanical obstacle avoidance system can intelligently recognize window frames and other obstacles, preventing the robot from accidentally colliding during cleaning and protecting both the window and the robot itself. For example, Alfabot's GLE350 and GLS450 feature AI technology and three automatic working modes for full-window cleaning.

 

Safety Features

· Fall Protection: A window cleaning robot should have reliable anti-fall and power-off protection features, such as a built-in UPS system that can maintain suction for about 30 minutes after a power failure, preventing accidental falls. It often comes with a safety rope for double protection.

· Power-Off Protection: It is important to choose a robot with power-off protection. In case of an emergency power outage, the robot will still have backup power to remain attached to the glass for a while, preventing a sudden fall.

 

Product Size and Weight

· Product Size: The size of the robot determines whether it can fit into various window frames for cleaning. Smaller robots are more suitable for small windows or windows with many partitions. The weight also affects ease of use and storage, with lighter robots being easier to move and handle. Alfabot's new X3 series has a compact size, making it ideal for home use on small glass windows.

 

Brand and After-Sales Service

· Brand Reputation: Choosing a well-known brand with a good reputation often ensures better product quality and after-sales service. Alfabot is a globally recognized brand, and our excellent products and strong after-sales support give consumers peace of mind during use.
