Washing windows by hand is an extremely tedious task that requires significant physical and sometimes moral effort, and when living on high floors, it also carries a risk to the life and health of a potential contractor. Therefore, the invention of a robot that can do this job no worse than a person is great news for both housewives and the elderly and their relatives, who often worry about their loved ones..
In order to choose the model of a robot window cleaner that is right for you, you must first determine what main criteria this type of household appliance should have. We will look at the main characteristics of home assistants.
There are washing robots that can only clean vertical surfaces and only a certain thickness. There are devices for which this does not matter, and they perfectly clean any inclined and horizontal surfaces, even not necessarily perfectly smooth ones..
- gauges and sensors. The more there are, the «cleverer» device behavior algorithms. For example, they can find obstacles and go around them, determine the edge of the glass to avoid falling, etc..;
- power and electricity supply. The device can work both from accumulators, and through a cord from a network. In the first case, you need to make sure that the length of the cord will be sufficient for your home and it will easily reach the outlet.A mains-powered robot can operate for many hours, the batteries usually last about an hour and a half. Batteries are also available in mains powered products, but will only be used when the power is off. Their purpose is to prevent the robot - washer from falling during a power outage..
- dimensions and weight. Of course, the smaller and lighter, the better, if this does not affect the functions and quality..
- equipment and consumables. In addition to the main unit, the kit may include a control panel, power supply, cleaning wipes, safety cord, cleaning solutions, etc..d.
- guarantee. It is important to pay attention to the period during which service will be available at the service center at no additional cost..
- price. Of course, the price should be affordable and not exceed the value of the item itself..
- other features. Here we pay attention to the country of production, noise level, window cleaning speed, number of operating modes, ease of care and color of the device..
