Window cleaning goes high-tech

Tired of streaky windows and never getting all the dirt off the glass, or never-ending buckets, cloths and the headache of using ladders to reach all windows? Well, there’s a new game-changer on the market to do the work for you.

The HOBOT-S6 Pro Window Cleaning Robot has just been introduced in South Africa by leading lifestyle technology company, Solenco. This high-tech lightweight robot is the first dual mop-polish robot that combines advanced technology, safety features and an eco-friendly design.

HOBOT has been a pioneer in the robot window-cleaning industry since its inception in 2010. “We believe this particular product will appeal to South Africans living in penthouses and golf estates – any windows that cover a large or particularly high surface area that are difficult to clean manually, or for anyone wanting a hands-off and premium window cleaning experience,” says Solenco director, Trevor Brewer.

The device features a patented dual mop reciprocating polish system, operating at an impressive 600 times per minute with a 4mm stroke. This high-frequency action effectively removes stubborn dirt and grime, ensuring your windows remain clear and shiny for longer periods. Additionally, the dual ultrasonic water spray system nebulises water into fine mist particles, providing a thorough clean without leaving any water stains.

Thanks to the ultra-fast wiping action, the static electricity on the window is neutralised at the same time to ensure a long-lasting, clear and shiny window, free from leftover mop debris.

The two caterpillar belts attached to HOBOT move quickly at 12cm per second, allowing the HOBOT-S6 Pro to clean 1m² area in 2.6 minutes, while the enlarged and extended cleaning cloths can reach deep into corners for the largest coverage of up to 26×26cm² areas.

Safety is a top priority. The robot is designed with an anti-falling control algorithm, secure DC power jack and an uninterruptible power system (UPS) that provides a 20-minute backup in case of power outages. For added security, a 4.5m safety rope ensures the device stays in place during operation.

The eco-friendly design includes washable microfibre cleaning cloths and a replaceable water tank, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

The HOBOT-S6 Pro offers intelligent control options through a smartphone app or remote control. Users can customise voice prompts and update firmware via the app, ensuring they always have access to the latest features and improvements.

It’s designed for glass of all thickness, including thin and thick glass, multilayer glass and laminated glass, while it moves well over rough areas as well.

The high-efficiency brushless DC motor and metal fan ensure a long lifespan, durability and low noise.

“Whether you live inland or on the coast, this remarkable piece of technology will give you sparkling clean windows in a short space of time. Technology like this is a game-changer and will turn a home into a smart home, saving time and energy while being kind to the environment,” Brewer says.
