Window cleaning robots help save time on tedious activities, and with such helpers you no longer have to lean out dangerously out of the window. They differ in shape (square or oval) and in the way they are attached to the glass (vacuum or magnetic).
The most popular manufacturers of robots for cleaning windows are Hobot and Evovacs, there are almost no budget devices in their lineup. More economical options can be found among washers, whose manufacturers were inspired by expensive flagships.
These wipers, of course, do not reach the level of efficiency of expensive models, they do not have additional brushes, they do not spray the cleaning agent from the built-in tank, but use replaceable napkins. However, they can be used more frequently to avoid particularly difficult contamination.
