We have some pretty large windows in the new house and it costs a few hundred dollars to get window cleaners in (I can't be bothered doing it myself and don't have the equipment needed to reach some of the higher windows).

 

I am looking into a window cleaning robot and was wondering if anyone has had any real-life experiences?

There appears to be quite a few similar ones on AliExpress for pretty reasonable money. Just looking for any feedback if anyone here has tried one like this, or others.

 

Cheers,

 

Ben

Keen to hear about this as well. At AU$120, I'd like to make sure the money is well spent.

I'm guessing based on the crickets in here that no one has...

 

I've just pulled the trigger on this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006012781837.html

 

It is a bit of a punt but hopefully it does an ok job.

 

Costs about the same as getting window cleaners in to do our place (inside and out).

Unfortunately not. Pretty disappointed to be fair. Does an "ok" job inside but outside when there is dust or dirt it is pretty hopeless. Just smears grime all over the window leaving it looking awful.

 

It is just dragging a wet cloth across the window so if there is any dirt on there, it ends up spreading it everywhere. 

 

Would definitely not recommend!

I am quite happy  with my Aliexpress cleaner, not perfect but a lot better than what I was doing previously. Especially for upstairs, just a bit slow.
