CONCLUSION

   Even though i don't happen to have large windows or glass doors either at the lab or at home i did end up using the X6 window cleaning robot by Liectroux for almost 2 weeks with very good results, at least when it comes to cleaning. Indeed, if you use both bundled microfiber mopping cloths (first the one for dry surfaces followed by the one for wet surfaces) the end result is almost perfect and just as Liectroux points out the robot manages to clean almost the entire surface of the window (only small areas on the corners didn't get cleaned sufficiently). Now i do realize that a window cleaning robot has but one function (to clean) but there are also other important factors at play and there the X6 does fall a bit short. For once noise levels are quite high and annoying, at least when you use the X6 on the inside of the windows (this however is due to its powerful suction which in turn means it has less chances to fall off when in operation). Then you have the how long it takes to actually setup the X6 to clean a window (plug the power adapter into the power socket, add the extension cord, plug it onto the X6, secure the X6 with its safety cord, then attach the first microfiber cloth, place the X6 on the window, wait until it cleans the window, remove the microfiber cloth to attach the microfiber cloth for wet surface and place it on the window again). Now if i happened to have a terrace with very large glass doors like the one showcased on the box of the X6 it would be a whole different story and I’d probably have no problem performing all the steps i mentioned above but for regular windows like the ones i have at home and at the office (most are 1.5 meters in height and 1 meter in length for each of the two sides) this is just way too time consuming.

   Currently the X6 window cleaning robot by Liectroux retails for USD184.37/166.38Euros (Aliexpress.com) a price tag that puts it right in the middle of several similar products. Purely from a technological standpoint there’s not much more one could ask from a robot window vacuum, yes it would be nice to have longer battery life in order to avoid having cables hanging from the device but that would add extra weight which in turn would require higher amounts of suction and so the end result would not only be larger but also far more expensive. Bottom line if you have large glass doors or large windows and you can put the X6 window cleaning robot to good it's definitely worth checking out.
