Hobot HOBOT-298
Score: 81/100
Ecovacs Winbot W2 Omni
Score: 82/100Rankings
The ECOVACS Winbot W2 Omni is a portable window-cleaning robot with industry-leading suction and up to 110 minutes of untethered runtime. Its heavy system weight, variable runtime claims and long charging time are notable trade-offs. Best suited for tall-window homeowners who need safe, outdoor-capable cleaning.
The Hobot-298 is an AI-driven window cleaning robot that excels on large, frameless glass with ultrasonic mist spray and fast cleaning speed. Its small water-tank capacity and the need for a safety rope limit convenience on smaller panes. Best suited for homeowners with big windows who prioritize speed and streak-free results.

Professional reviewers consider the Hobot-298 an advanced, AI-driven window cleaning robot that excels on large, frameless glass surfaces. They commend its ultrasonic mist spray, fast cleaning speed, and low-noise motor, while noting that optimal performance still depends on using a detergent and that the device is less suited for small panes.
Everyday users praise the robot for making large-window cleaning effortless, quiet, and streak-free thanks to the mist technology. Common complaints revolve around the need for detergent on tough grime, the effort required to set up the safety rope, limited water-tank capacity, and occasional app or remote connectivity issues.
Professional reviewers commend the W2 PRO OMNI for its industry-leading safety architecture, long untethered battery life and the ability to clean large glass areas quickly and quietly. The portable OMNI station is highlighted as a differentiator that enables true outdoor use, while the robot matches the performance of the larger W2 PRO model but with added portability and a slightly quieter acoustic profile.
Everyday users consistently praise the robot's ease of use, reliable cleaning results and the convenience of cleaning high or outdoor windows without ladders. The long battery life and quiet operation are frequently mentioned as positives, while a few customers note the heavy package and occasional variability in runtime as minor drawbacks.
