Gladwell, Gecko Robot Window Cleaner, Smart Glass Cleaning Robotic Technology App and Remote, Powered Washer for Table High Windows Ceiling Magnetic Automatic, Outdoor Indoor, Black

I have no option but to use something like this because I have a dangerous drop off on one side of my 2-story house (no room for a ladder). I read reviews saying they could not get the robot to work, but it actually works quite wonderfully if you follow these tips! I read tips online, then did a bit of trial and error. It’s quite easy! I live in the desert, so my windows get very dusty, then a light rain congeals the dust into a nasty glue. I do also get pigeon poop, but if you have certain other types of dirt stuck to your window, maybe it won’t work well for you. I would think anyone can get much cleaner windows with this robot, and I am definitely picky, but you need to pay someone if you can’t deal with the small imperfections like dusty corners (round pads do not clean square corners). 1) Lightly wet only the bottom pad. Leave the top one dry. If you have a really nasty spot, I take a stick and a wet rag and scrub just that spot, then run my robot. Usually no spot cleaning is necessary, even with pigeon poop baked on at 115 degrees. If your robot is sliding down the window, you have overwet the pad. (One reviewer was quite angry about this, but the instructions clearly state not to overwet! Two less saturated passes work beautifully and you can do something else while the robot works, so it doesn’t matter if it takes twice as long.) 2) If your windows are pretty dirty, after one pass, move the dry top pad to the bottom, put a fresh dry pad on the top, and repeat step 1 on the same window. 3) If your windows are large, grab your robot when it’s halfway done, unstick it, lightly re-spray the bottom pad, and let it finish. Most important tips are keep the pads very clean, switch them out often, and double-clean each window, which eliminates all streaks for me. The first pass washes, I use even less spray the second pass and it buffs the windows until shiny, and they look beautiful. I use a dilute self-mixed organic window cleaner (mixed with mostly water), so straight Windex may also be too slippery. I wouldn’t know. But I would guess dilute vinegar with water would work well. I bought double the pads (24 total) and I only do about 6 windows, inside and out, in a session (fewer if they’re really dirty), before I have to wash all the pads. I run the robot while I’m deep-cleaning that part of the house. If you have lots of windows and want to finish them all in one day, you’ll need lots of pads because they need to be very clean and dry. I rotate through the house and clean each window every 2-3 months as maintenance, so my windows are always clean. I couldn’t be happier! It’s much cheaper than paying someone to do it and my windows are much cleaner because I can afford to wash them often.

I really like that this product frees us from working on a ladder or using a long pole to clean the outsides of our windows and glass doors. It uses far less window cleaning solution than doing it any other way. On the down side, it needs a hook above each window or door to connect a lanyard to save the Gecko in case it falls off. I have to climb a ladder to hook on the lanyard. I wish it was completely cordless, but it also has a power brick like a laptop and a thin power cord tethered to the Gecko. This is a great first generation device. I hope the company made a profit on these and will develop even better ones for the future.

I wasn't sure if it would do a good job cleaning or sticking to the window, but five windows later, I'm a fan. It's been a couple of years since I last cleaned my windows and 10 seconds in to my first window, my kids were already saying how much cleaner the first window was. The unit it easy and intuitive to use. I only gave the pads a few squirts of water. I did use a paper towel and a squirt of water to wipe the spot where I removed the robot on each pane because there are two circle spots, but they were easy to wipe up and may only be there because my windows were so dirty. I also wiped the corners of the panes because it can't get the last inch or so since the unit doesn't have corners, but this was still much easier than doing the windows myself. So far, I've had no issues with the unit losing suction or not cleaning the entire window. I switched out the pads after four window oranges because the pads were already very dirty. I'm impressed with how much dirt they picked up and how effective they were in removing some shots on the window. Based upon my experience so far, anyone considering a robot window cleaner will have no complaints about this unit.

I was super excited to have a way to clean my second story windows in my living room safely. This robot just didn't make the cut. It wouldn't climb up, which was the entire reason for the purchase. It slips when you try the up option. It left large areas uncleaned and wasn't able to get the dirt off of the inside of the windows. It did wipe off dust, but not dirt. It kept getting confused. The idea is good, but it needs more engineering. If the unit is wet enough to clean, it won't climb- just slips. If it's dry enough to climb, it won't clean. So disappointed... :(

Background: We live in a 3-story house on a hill a few blocks from a freeway and a few miles from the Pacific ocean. So our windows serve as both a collecting area for traffic grime and a final resting place for bugs that the wind blows into them. Our second and third floor windows have no outdoor ledge, so unless I'm willing to get up on a ladder to clean the windows, the only option is to use a magnetic window cleaner. I've used one of those and a) it takes a long time to clean a window and b) it leaves all sorts of streaks. Hence, I decided to try the Gecko. Pros: - It has never once fallen down - the suction is very good - I don't have to clean the windows because it does it for me - The microfiber cloths it uses are washable/reusable Cons: - It leaves all sorts of circular streaks on the windows that you see when the sun hits the window (in my case during the sunset). Some of this appears to be due to the poor quality of the microfiber cloths - they left all sorts of little fibers behind on the window as the Gecko went about its business. Washing them seemed to help a bit, but I still have all sorts of circles on the windows. - It is not strong enough to buff off the dead bugs - I still have to use the magnet device to do that manually - It is pretty loud Ultimately, I don't think this window robot is ready for prime time. I decided to keep the robot because if I will have streaks on my windows due to the magnetic window cleaner or the robot either way, I might as well pick the option that prevents me from doing any work.

The meticulous cleaning pattern covers every inch of surface (except of course the corners) and leaves it streak-free. Gecko works back and forth from top to bottom, edging itself downward 2 inches with each pass. It does a better job than I've ever managed and my windows all sparkle now! Instructions say to wet only the bottom pad, which works well for smaller windows, but for picture windows and sliding glass doors I position Gecko at the top and SPARINGLY spray cleaner from about 6 inches from the top, to the bottom. Gives just enough moisture to cover the entire area without wetting the upper pad or saturating the lower pad. Don't let the top pad get wet or the bottom pad get saturated! Disks will slip, throw the pattern off and Gecko will slip to the bottom. It does an excellent job on shower doors, even on soap scum. I do each door separately and set the doors slightly ajar to form a hard edge. It is even able to negotiate around the hinges! Also worked great on marble shower walls. Did a super job on marble bathroom floors, even though it got confused a few times because of the vanity toe-kick; re-starting fixed it. Same with laminate kitchen floor. Horizontal surfaces seem to be problematic, but maybe it's just my room configuration. Still worth the effort for the superior result. I'd love to try it on the rest of my laminate floors because of its thoroughness and minimal water use, but I suspect the larger areas would be problematic. Oh well.

I love the idea of this product because I have lots of SW facing windows. It works on the same premise as a Roomba floor cleaner. It comes with 12 reusable pads. It has powerful suction on the window so no concern about it falling off. The windows are definitely clean after using it. But clean and streak-free are not the same. The pads leave lots of circular marks. Lots. And I was careful to switch to new clean pads often-sometimes twice for one window. I wish this had worked for me. If you don’t have west windows, you may not see all the marks. It was pricey, but I thought it would be well worth it if I didn’t have to pay to have my windows cleaned. I decided to return it today. On the positive side, the company was very responsive to my emails. Since the instruction booklet was not clear, I emailed them with 4 questions. I had my answers within an hour! Plaudits to them for that. 5 stars for the idea. 2 stars for its usefulness for me.

I never write reviews. This deserves your consideration. Just look at the four pictures and video that I uploaded. this was my first use and it was extremely easy to figure it out. One time it did slip a bit but it was totally a test because I sprayed the bottom pad more than recommended just so I could see what it would do when it was at arm level. it did slip a little bit but all I did was push it up and kind of help it move up the window a little bit and it took off all on its own. The results speak for The instructions although not detailed are clear and easyThe instructions although not detailed are clear and easy to follow and I am extremely impressed with how well this little guy has cleaned our windows. In addition it comes with 12 cleaning pads so you can switch them out frequently and get a lot of windows done before you have to wash them. in one of the pictures you can see that I hadn't changed the pads out in about four windows and it created kind of a swirly look on the window. Even with that it's much much better than the layers of dirt that was there before! UPDATE: I have been using this for the last couple months and it is still great. If you see any residue, it means you need to put clean pads on. I typically will run it until I see that, and pop on new ones.

Muy bien y sobre todo la fecha de entrega muy pumual ADEMAS ME EVITA LA FATIGQ

Tembellere duyurulur: Öyle cama yapıştırayım da kahvemi içeyim yok. Camınız çok kirli ise doğal olarak sıvayıp duracak ancak kabaca çamuru alırsanız işe yarıyor. Teknoloji de bir yere kadar. Ürün güzel ama 6 aydır sorunsuz kullanıyorum özellikle tehlikeli camlarda sarkmadan işi görüyor.

we have sloping skylight windows which are completely unreachable from the ground. it managed to crawl all over them (with help from the remote)

Me gusto mucho limpia muy bien las ventanas de interior pero tengo una duda a las ventadas que están más expuestas a polvo h mugre veo que no las limpia bien, se puede poner algún producto por ejemplo limpia vidrios y luego el robot ?
