ECOVACS WINBOT W2 PRO Omni Portable Window Cleaning Robot with Multi-Functional Station, Charging While Working, Intelligent Cleaning with Triple Nozzle Water Sprayer, 12-Level Protection

Wow! Great job. I have had this for about 18 hours and so far, it exceeds my expectations.Long review for those seeking more info about this great product, but hesitating.I own robot vacs, so not new to the experience. But because of those, I hesitated on getting one of these. The vac bots do well (not ecovacs, yet....) but have become very complicated and needy. Not the case with this bot.It and its app are quick to start to work, and simple to use! Set up the app first, it's quick.I have a 2 story home with over 25 windows. Some on 1st floor are nearly floor to ceiling. Takes a ladder to clean most- even inside. With bad knees, ladders aren't our friend - so I called a pro for an estimate- over $600 (inside & out). Nope, do it ourselves. This was a prime days deal, so with extra pads and ecovacs solution I was in at a little more than $500, beating the cost of a pro for one trip, but bot can do many more over it's 3-6 year life.It does a great job inside, though this larger bot can't do every window- some I'll still have to handle, but not enough for me to look at the smaller bot yet. Outside, fantastic cleaning, streaked one window because I didn't follow instructions and clean pad after each window, and mine were dusty. Fixed that by having a warm water/dawn solution in a small bucket followed by quick rinse. Inside, pad cleaning wasn't needed but about every 3-4 windows.It's about as loud as a vacuum on high power, so you won't want to use it in same room and try to watch TV. 😉You also won't get to leave it for long - it's too fast for that. Cleaned my large windows on quick clean in about 4 min - on thorough same ones in about 6-7.Pros- no need for ladders -as long as you can reach the bottom part of a window well, simple setup and app, economically feasible over pros - comparable to self if using distilled water instead of solution - but less mess and work.Cons-this larger bot won't get my traditional mutton panes well, nor tiny windows (did still get two smaller ones, so check your window sizes compared to the bot size) - & look at the mini if you hav mostly very small windows.Docking station is a bit heavy, about 19 lbs, so moving the bot and station may be tough for some. Once in place, the bot itself is only about 3 lbs and has a handle. The back storage - and cleaner storage are convenient, but the back compartment is a little difficult for me to open- probably a me thing, but it is a little tough to pull out. And the door has to stay down if charging from the wall, I haven't seen a cord exit (notch to let the cords out while back door is up) making it less easy to move about, and a larger floor footprint while charging.To know- it pulls the cord out it needs from the dock, but the dock will need to be nearby. The bot isn't independent of it. But the dock can be charged so working with outside windows away from power is still possible. The cord easily retracts with a push of button to remove trip issues.Update, be sure to install app first. It works without, but you have more control with. Bot got stuck on door handles (glass door) and fought some (and lost some) on window blinds installed inside frame. App helps you watch for these and pause/remote control the robot instead of ending a job.I opted for the W2 pro Omni because it covered most windows and had the dock/portable power. Will look at a mini for future just because of smaller window possibilities and carry weight (not getting younger).Haven't tested upstairs yet, but the bot suction is very firm, so don't expect issues and look forward to clean windows without acrobatics there.Cleans inside and outside without much of a mess. Does have a few tiny drips, so I'd keep a small cloth nearby if you have delicate items (window sill/wood floors). I make more messes using water and a chamois. Outside, we'd have clean windows, but the patio, lawn, etc would be soaked as we sprayed water, climbed, cleaned, sprayed rinse water, repeatedly. Bot is much cleaner!Would recommend as a way to keep windows clean vs waiting for a year or scrambling to spruce up for visitors.The safety instructions say for residential only. I wouldn't hesitate to use on small buildings, but the cord length would stop work on high rises unless you could open the windows nearest the apartment.Overall, I highly recommend this if you have a lot of windows and don't like cleaning from ladders! Even without all my windows available, it will pay for itself in 2x over a pro; and probably about 4x over fancy extend-a-pole solutions (that will still drown your yard below). Perfect, not completely- but as good or better than what I can do - & a lot less work/much safer.

I have a 2800sq ft mountain view home with LOTS of windows. For standard windows, large mirrors, and sliding glass doors this is my new best friend. Not perfect. Bug or bird splatters will probably need some touch up either before or after the window is cleaned but does a good streak free job of cleaning windows inside and out. Impressed by the lightweight backpack-sized package that carries everything you need (great engineering design!). Cable from the box on the floor to the robot easily reached the top of windows at 12'.Handled odd shaped triangular windows fine, (1st picture) but one of my windows the robot can't fit in the corner (robot size) so that required manual help (not the robot's fault).Got thru about 1/2 of the windows inside and out with the window cleaning fluid that came with the robot. Wish they had included more. 3 weeks to get additional fluid in through Amazon. They say you can use water and I'll give that a try on the rest of the windows and add an update.The only problem I had was more to do with the trim on my upper windows. Most windows have a bull-nosed type trim on the outside of the window (see third of the attached pictures). That works fine. My upper windows have a more wider and gently sloping trim (2nd of the attached windows) that the robot can't detect so it runs up on top of the trim, which breaks the suction on the robot and it either stops and gives a warning or twice fell off (I was in position and caught it luckily). It then defaults to manual (remote control) cleaning which I can't get to work well enough to get the window clean. Maybe with practice.In summary: easy to use, great design in a small package, does a good job cleaning the window but plan on ordering additional cleaning fluid when you order the robot and be cautious if your window trim on the outside is wide and sloped rather than rounded a bit.

Ecovacs Winbot Pro 2 Omni will not efficiently clean low frame windows. It gets stuck if your frame is less than 4 mm. We spent 2 days trying to make this machine work on our windows. Customer service reco that you use the manual direction robot controller on the ap. Seriously? I have over 30 windows. What’s the point of operating an AUTO window cleaner if it only works if you manually operate it! .. and the ap is worthless.. easier to go online and google the help you need. Of course none of the marketing or product info says it doesn’t work for low frame windows. The winbot 2 is not cheap. BEWARE!

I used to have a W1 and stopped using it. This version is *vastly* better. It doesn't droop as it move horizontally across the window, it's quieter, it holds on better, the single cord and carrying case is way more convenient, and the fact that it doesn't have to be plugged in while it's cleaning even more so. It got a not-cleaned-in-two-years window to sparkling, though that took two deep-clean passes. (see photos) So far, I love this thing.

Love love love. My windows had only been spot cleaned in 2 years (don’t judge me ). They are spotless now. It was soooo easy. Inside and out. The only thing I wish I had ordered cleaner at the same time because I ran out 1-2 way through the house and I have to wait 3-4 weeks before it arrives (as per Amazon).
