HOBOT 298 Window Cleaning Automatic Robot with Ultrasonic Water Spray

nor perfect cleaning but does a great job if used regularly

It promises a lot of functions but at the end of the day it is very limited, the remote control is very basic, the cleaning is basically very weak because it leaves lines and smudges all over. The cloth has to be changed every two minutes and finally, It slips too much. I am sorry but I guess to make it work properly I would have to do the windows by hand before one uses the robot and once again after the robot is done to remove the lines and stains it leaves behind.

Not bad in large windows. Not really good in dirty ones, you need to give few clean first. If you have some large windows with non reachable areas (without risking your life) - can help but require your attention. No problem to stick to glass but very sensitive to frames. Low frames sometimes can’t recognise and keep bumping into sides without proceeding further (need your attention). Summaries- good to use in unreachable areas in large windows but take a lot of time and attention for the first clean. Then it’s much easier to keep clean. Works in kitchen and bath tile surfaces. Weakness- non standard frames & require attention as it control system is not smart at all

It is used once every four months, no more than five times a year. It stopped working. Given for repair. The robot worked for an hour and stopped working again. This product is not worth the money. I don't recommend buying it!

Perfect machine

Nachdem ich nun den Hobot-298 ausprobiert habe, muss ich sagen ich hatte mir aufgrund der Beschreibung und der im Internet gemachten aussagen mehr versprochen, leider sind meine Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Die in der Software hinterlegten Programme zum Automatikbetrieb, machen was Sie wollen und fahren nicht den hinterlegten weg. Ich überlege ob ich das Gerät zurück schicke oder ob es nochmal eine Chance bekommt

Great machine. Works as expected. I live in a condo near Biscayne Bay with a lot of glass and this makes it very easy to keep the windows and glass terrace panels clean. I have 7 4’x10’ glass sliders and 30’ of glass terrace wall. That’s about 900 sq ft of glass counting both sides. I (or rather it) can clean all of that with very little input from me in a few hours. It’s ALMOST as simple as plug it in, stick it to the window and press go. Value: if I had someone come clean all that glass it would be over $100. If I use this device once a month, it’s paid for in six months. (I live in a bay, windows get dirty fast and often). I would eagerly recommend this to anyone who has large rectangular windows to clean. I’m sure it would work on traditional windows with mullions, too, but it would require more attention. Also would be great for store-fronts. Cons: when it does “get stuck” i don’t think it can resume from where it left off. Not a significant con. Doesn’t get stuck often.

When ordering the delivery said 7 days but after ordering it was 3 weeks. I contacted the seller to make sure i received the item quickly. They ensures delivery made in time ans so very grateful for that. The product does what it says but note it comes from abroad and so they have includes travel plugs to be able to use in the UK. Good suction on glass but yet to try on really dirty glass or on a hit day to see the results.

I found that the hobot got stuck on the angled trim around the window that made it stop moving and fall off. The widow needed to be fairly clean. But when I made a trim to square up the trim around the window it worked well.

UPDATE!! After several months, the manufacturer contacted me and offered me a $20 gift card to remove my original review below. Hmmm... You don't know how bad I wanted this product to work. Two large homes, both 3-stories, 130 panes of glass each. I've been spending $780 for each home twice a year for a pro to clean the windows. I had high hopes for this nifty product, but it just doesn't work. The technology is cool, it's simple to turn on, it stays stuck to the window and the robotics magically detect the window size and shape and direct the machine over every inch of the window. But it doesn't clean. If the window has anything other than a very light coat of dust, it just doesn't clean it, even after two passes. I used it as directed, used their cleaner product, and it's a non-starter. This cool gadget sprays a very fine micro mist ahead of its path, then sweeps the area with what is basically a micro-fiber pad. No heavy mist, no scrubbing back and forth to get the crud off. The vacuum feature suctions the machine on to your window, but doesn't "vacuum" off the dirt. If you had a foot square micro-fiber cloth mounted on a flat piece of cardboard and gently slid it over your window after an extremely light mist of Windex, you would simulate the cleaning action of this product. Try it. It just doesn't work on the inside or outside. Won't remove a light finger print on the inside or even light waterspots on the outside. Dang, I wished this worked! In ten years, we'll all be washing our house windows with a robotic product, but the technology isn't there yet. Gotta love Amazon's return policy.
