Robotic Window Washers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Winbot 950 Cleans Up in Its Niche in the Market

— May 22, 2017 — Tech
Ecovacs Robotics has gained plenty of attention for its Winbots devices, yet they're continuing to up their game. Despite being celebrated as Red Dot Design Award winners, the brains behind these futuristic window cleaning gadgets are on a continuous quest for further innovation.

The most recently recognized model is the Winbot 950 which boasts a new inventive dual system to support meticulous movement and scrupulous sanitizing, independently of each other. The little glass-attached robot guides itself on a strict serpentine path to ensure that every inch of every pane is wiped by its four-stage cleaning system. A microfiber cloth and a squeegee clear away smudges, spatters and grime through a completely quiet process. The cutting-edge Winbot 950 can even extend 5m beyond your own reach to scour tall windows, with and without frames.
