A new appliance promises to make window cleaning easier as well as safer. The new smart window-cleaning robot can handle any window. It could put an end to the days of watching uneasily, as people high above step out of high windows to clean them. The new device is said by experts to be a lot more convenient than similar cleaning tools that rely on magnets.

Someone stands on the outside of a window on an apartment block without any equipment. It’s enough to make you break a cold sweat, especially as there’s a safe alternative.

A window-cleaning robot controlled by an app can be given its route with a few taps. Its cloth vibrates at high speed, dusting off any grime on the glass as it sweeps back and forth. It also neutralizes static electricity and leaves the glass squeaky clean.

It can also detect the edge of a pane of glass that doesn’t have a frame, and turn itself around. It uses ultrasound water jets, and has a traction strength of 230 kilograms, so it won’t be blown away by strong winds. Experts say it’s the originator of a new category of appliances.

It’s convenient, but actually I think the most important thing is that it protects us as consumers, our safety in cleaning. Cleaning glass on a tall building or wiping a larger pane of glass can be quite a dangerous activity.

Assistants in the past would use the double-sided magnetic window cleaner. They fall down a lot, they’re a nuisance and hard to control. This automatic device cleans by itself, using cleaning fluid, and it doesn’t get stuck at edges where it has to turn around.

The advance of smart appliances has claimed another win, one that could make life easier and safer for everyone who needs to clean their windows.
