Hobot Robot window cleaner

What types of windows can the Hobot S7 Pro clean?

The S7 Pro works on all glass surfaces including framed and frameless windows of any thickness. It successfully cleans balconies, mirrors, skylights and even rough glass surfaces. The dynamic pneumatic technology adapts to different glass types and can overcome small air leakages that might affect other window cleaning robots. Both indoor and outdoor windows are suitable for cleaning.

How does the dual mop polish technology work?

The dual mop system operates at 600 strokes per minute with a 4mm stroke length that mimics human hand movements. This professional-grade polishing action removes static electricity from the glass surface whilst simultaneously cleaning and polishing. The back-and-forth motion ensures thorough dirt removal and creates the streak-free finish that single-pass systems cannot achieve.

What happens if the power goes out during cleaning?

The built-in UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) automatically activates during power failures, providing 20 minutes of backup power. An audio alert immediately notifies you of the power loss whilst the robot continues operating safely. This backup time allows the robot to complete its cleaning cycle and return to a safe position, preventing dangerous falls from height.

How long does it take to clean a typical window?

The S7 Pro cleans 1 square metre in approximately 2.6 minutes. A standard residential window (1m x 1.5m) takes roughly 4-5 minutes to complete. Larger commercial windows or heavily soiled glass may require additional time. The robot offers three automatic cleaning modes and will stop automatically when the cleaning cycle is finished.

Can I control the robot remotely?

Yes, the S7 Pro includes both smartphone app control and a physical remote control. The app provides full functionality including voice prompts, over-the-air updates and automatic orientation detection. You can start, stop and monitor cleaning progress remotely. The app also allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and adjust cleaning modes based on your specific requirements.

What cleaning solution should I use?

The robot comes with Hobot window cleaning fluid specifically formulated for optimal performance. You can also use regular commercial window cleaning fluid or distilled water as alternatives. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that might damage the ultrasonic spray system. The 15nm misting technology works best with solutions designed for streak-free glass cleaning.

How safe is the robot for high-rise windows?

The S7 Pro includes multiple safety features for high-rise applications. The 4.5-metre safety rope is rated for 230kgf impact force and provides fall arrest protection. Anti-fall algorithms, secure DC power connections and the 20-minute UPS backup ensure safe operation. Edge sensors and bumper protection prevent the robot from falling off window edges or getting damaged near corners.

How do I maintain the robot and replace parts?

The S7 Pro uses reusable microfiber cloths that can be washed and reused multiple times, reducing ongoing costs. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the suction area and checking the safety rope for wear. Replacement microfiber pads become available through Amazon, though initial availability may be limited. The eco-friendly design minimises waste compared to disposable cleaning pad systems.
