Robot's latest generation washer (2017), the WINBOT_TM950 works very well in its purpose and cleans the glasses, in fact, rather, the glass on which you support it in a very short time of less than 3 minutes.

Package

In the box :

• WINBOT_TM950 with a cable of 1 meter and 70 cm that must be connected to another cable of about 2 meters and 60 cm which has the power supply, for a total of 4 meters and 30 cm. Which is enough to get the robot to the top of most normal windows. In addition, another extension of 1 meter and 60 cm.
• 3 microfiber cloths
• a safety kit : cable and suction cup that should be attached to the outside of the glass to prevent the fall of the ground robotic
• remote control
• WINBOT washer fluid.
• cloth to remove any traces

Use

Very easy and intuitive

• Apply the microfiber cloth
• Spray the washer fluid evenly
• Turn on the power red button
• Apply ECOVACS WINBOT_TM950 to glass
• Press the blue button on the handle

the robotic begins the cycle and when it finishes:

• Press the blue button on the handle
• Wait a few seconds and unplug the robot from the glass
• Turn off the power red button

Operation is automatic, but in some special conditions you can use the remote control to move the robot in the four directions above, below, right, and left. With the remote I noticed some uncertainty in returning to previous positions, but nothing substantial. It also cleans the corners.

If you forget the robot attached to the glass and you will stop the current, you will have 15 minutes to remove it, thanks to the internal backup battery.

What kind of dirt?

For my experience, I've cataloged the glasses like this:

A little dirty glasses: the classic glasses that have not been washed for a few weeks, which have some tiny dots and insects.

Just a homogeneous spray of liquid washer and 1 Winbot 950 cycle

Dirty glasses: not washed for at least a month and have both thin and small spots of dirt.

3 homogenous sprays of the washer fluid and one cycle of the Winbot 950. However, be careful not to wet the cloth too much, otherwise the robot will slip on the glass and may also lose adhesion.

Very dirty glasses: in work places, like workshops or near sidewalks, etc. or tall, where nobody has ever cleaned them.

Add at least 20% of white vinegar to the washer fluid and 2 cycles of the Winbot 950. After each cycle, wash the cloth well and wring it very well so that it is not excessively moist, otherwise the robot will slip on the glass and may even lose adherence.

Maintenance

• Wash the microfibre cloth
• Remove the accumulated dust under the cloth

Performance

Speed: washed a window of 124 x 45 mm then 6.39 square meters in 2'36 ".

Noise: here's my measure

               distance 1 mt 69.5 dB

               distance 2 mt 65.8 dB

               distance 3 mt 64.5 dB

               distance 4 mt 63.1 dB

Weight: Ecovacs declares 3.3 kg, but the robot only weighs 2.2 kg

Considerations

It cleans very well, and it's just not a wash in the classic sense, but rubs the cloth with the sprayed liquid by pressing it hard on the glass. So if the glass is particularly encrusted, the robotic can not do miracles.

Works on all double glazing and those with internal grinding.

I tried on the shower that was in glass and with some handshake I managed to get a good result.

The problem of the halos is partly due to the homogeneity of the liquid spraying on the microfiber cloth, partly to the liquid used and partly to the degree of dirt encountered. In my case, no problems and halos virtually invisible if not nonexistent.

Noise is quietly acceptable, though in absolute silence it can be a bit of a nuisance, but the cycle is so short that, in my opinion, the problem is not important.

I think I made a great purchase that I recommend, price permitting.
