- Ecovacs says supported
A low cost robot for small windows and people who just want the glass done well enough. Galaxus found it cleaned about as well as by hand but was no faster, and it missed corners. Skip it if you want hands off cleaning of many panes or frameless glass.

- 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.

What reviewers found
Ecovacs Winbot Mini
- Galaxus: Cleaned barely below the larger Winbot and about as well as by hand; not faster than manual cleaning; corners not perfect; 77.8 dB up close; held about 39 min after a power cut. Source
Mova N1
- EFTM (83%): Excellent on framed windows with no streaks; struggled with soiled shower glass and pool fences and slipped on a frameless panel. Measured about 65 dB. Source
- Digital Reviews Network: Cleaned well with secure attachment; edge cleaning was hit and miss and a few drips reached the sill. Source
- 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
