Hobot Legee 688
The Hobot Legee 688 universal robot floor polisher takes the first place in our rating, thanks to the four-stage Fast Brush cleaning technology, which has no analogues among other manufacturers. Suitable for dry and wet cleaning of exceptionally hard surfaces, it does not vacuum carpets. If you do not have carpets at home, then this is the best option in its price segment.
Why is he good? It's all about the cleaning system. If you turn the robot over, you can see 2 platforms on which napkins are attached. Platforms move at a speed of up to 10 oscillations per second, thereby imitating the movement of hands during cleaning. Let's take a closer look at the cleaning process:
- The first stage, the debris, thanks to the side brush, enters the suction hole. The power of 2100 Pa makes it easy to suck in dust, small debris, hair and pet hair.
- The first napkin produces a dry wiping of the floor.
- After the first wipe, a system of two nozzles wets the floor with liquid
- The last napkin produces a full wet cleaning.
Excellent flotation and maneuverability due to D-shape, crawler-type wheels, enlarged side brush. Interesting 7 modes of operation. The “kitchen” mode deserves special attention for a thorough cleaning of the floor from stubborn stains. The vacuum cleaner divides the room into squares of 1.5 m × 1.5 m, wets them with water and then passes over them again, removing the already dissolved stains. Impressive 2100 Pa suction power, 2750 mAh battery (up to 90 minutes of battery life or up to 150 m2).
Controlled by remote control or smartphone app. In the latter case, the potential of the vacuum cleaner is revealed at 100% - displaying a map of the room, planning cleaning for 7 days, viewing information about the technical condition of the device, a full cleaning report. The price is 34,990 rubles.
Advantages:
- Efficient cleaning in corners due to the D-shaped housing.
- Builds a room map.
- Connecting to a smartphone via Wi-Fi.
- A unique washing system that mimics a manual floor cleaning.
- 7 cleaning modes.
- Quiet work.
- Automatic installation on the charger.
Flaws:
The kit does not include a virtual wall.
This robot is fundamentally different from other participants in the rating, if you have exceptionally hard surfaces, I highly recommend paying attention to it. It has no competitors in this segment
But if there are thresholds and you need to clean carpets, take a closer look at the following models in the ranking.

Xiaomi Mijia LDS Vacuum Cleaner: the best in the middle price segment
If you are ready to spend about 25 thousand on the purchase of a robot vacuum cleaner
rubles, we advise you to pay attention to Xiaomi Mijia LDS Vacuum Cleaner. Now it is recommended and praised by many buyers, because
Roborock S50 costs from 30 to 32 thousand rubles, and this model is much cheaper despite the fact that there is a lidar for navigation, electronic water supply adjustment and a Y-shaped movement pattern in floor washing mode. In addition, the suction power reaches 2100 Pa, and the container is installed combined for dry and wet cleaning.
Mijia LDS Vacuum Cleaner
The only problem is that Xiaomi Mijia LDS Vacuum Cleaner is for the Chinese market, so there may be slight connection problems (you need to pay attention to the correct connection). And so, in general, a robot vacuum cleaner is cheaper than analogues and cleans at a very high level
There are a lot of reviews and they are mostly positive, so we definitely recommend to buy!
How to choose a window cleaning robot
Carefully studying the above information will help you choose the right option for the design and principle of operation. Now we will briefly talk about what manufacturers can offer and what functionality is worth paying for.
We recommend watching a video clip in which we consider in detail each of the selection criteria:
The first is the capacity of the battery. This parameter will determine how long the washer can work without recharging. A good indicator is a capacity of 600 mAh. There are models equipped with a battery with a capacity of up to 2000 mAh. By the way, the battery itself can be lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-Pol). The last option is more preferable.
The second is work time. A good indicator is the ability to work without recharging from 20 to 30 minutes.
The number and quality of brushes will directly affect the efficiency of cleaning. The better the material of execution, the longer the brushes will last and the better they will clean glass, tiles or mirrors.
Also pay attention to the fact that the washer is equipped with scrapers, they effectively clean the surface.
The next important selection criterion is the type of management. It can be represented by buttons on the body, by remote control or a mobile application on a smartphone. The last option is the most modern and convenient.
Control via Wi-Fi
The speed of cleaning windows, tiles, mirrors or any other surface will depend on the speed of the window cleaning robot you have chosen. Based on customer reviews, we can say that 2-3 minutes to clean one square meter is considered a normal indicator.
The noise level is also an important characteristic. The disadvantage of all window cleaners is their noise, which is why it is not very pleasant to be in a room where this device is turned on. Try to choose a less noisy robot, the parameter is indicated in "dB".
The minimum size of the work surface is something that must be taken into account, especially if you decide to choose a washer for small windows or vice versa, for a large area (let's say the facade of the room). Manufacturers indicate this characteristic, as a rule, it is in the range of 35 - 600 cm.
Also, choosing window cleaning robot, take into account its power consumption. The higher this figure, the better. On the market are devices with a power of 70 watts.
The length of the power cord and extension cord will determine the ease of use of the wiper. It is better that the length of the cord is enough for you with a margin. For example, models that can work on a horizontal surface will be able to clean a large area, which can be limited by the length of the cord. This also includes the length of the safety cord, similarly it is better that it be longer.
Well, the last important selection criterion is the ability to work with frameless glass. A special algorithm for the operation of the sensors allows the washer to understand where the glass ends (if there is no frame) and not fall while moving. A kind of fall protection. Modern automatic windshield wipers are suitable for frameless glazing and it is good if the device you have chosen is worked out in this regard.
Otherwise, when choosing a window cleaning robot, it is important to read reviews about the model you like, so you can find out all its disadvantages and advantages. For example, many complain that this or that washer does not wash corners, makes noise or is completely inconvenient to operate.
The opinions of real buyers are very helpful.
And do not forget that the device must come with a guarantee. In its absence, the washer will have to be repaired at its own expense, if it is repairable at all.When ordering a robot on aliexpress and other Chinese sites, you deprive yourself of the opportunity to return the goods, and unfortunately, this type of equipment is prone to failure or malfunction.
Equipment
Let's start with an overview of the package. The accessories include:
- The robot vacuum cleaner.

Equipment Hobot
The manufacturer took care and added batteries to the remote control, so there is no need to buy them separately
It is important to pay attention to the fact that the charging base is equipped with a special wall mount so that the robot vacuum cleaner does not move it during cleaning or when returning to the base. It seems to be a simple solution, but we have not observed this with other manufacturers
Unfortunately, there is no traffic limiter in the kit.

In fact, if you responsibly approach the purchase, you can choose a high-quality device that will replace a conventional vacuum cleaner.
