- Suction
- 8,000 Pa max
- Spray
- Ultrasonic
- Backup battery
- 30 min hold
- Frameless
- Yes
The pick for small and narrow windows, since its 21.5 cm body fits panes that bigger Winbots cannot. It is corded and has no station, so you carry it, plug it in and rinse the pad yourself. Skip it if you mostly have big picture windows, where the cordless models finish faster.

- Dual mist
- Backup battery
- 30 min hold
- Frameless
- Yes
The best value window robot we found on US shelves, with three independent reviews praising its results on ordinary framed windows. It is corded, has no corner scrubbers and reviewers found frameless glass hit and miss. Buy it for regular framed windows; skip it for shower screens and glass balustrades.

- home&smart (82/100): Good cleaning and easy handling; measured 60 to 66 dB at 2 m; cord limits flexibility and it has no corner cleaning. Source
