In the blink of an eye, it was almost the New Year, and when I was a child, I often heard the elders of the family talk about those familiar folk songs - "Twenty-four, sweep the house". On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, there will definitely be a cleaning of the house from the inside out, from top to bottom. At this time, cleaning the window has become a very difficult task.
Although the windows can shield us from the wind and rain, after a year of baptism, the outer windows are always covered with rain stains and sand. For friends who live in high-rise buildings, cleaning glass is definitely a very headache problem. Climbing high is very dangerous, the glass area is too large and difficult to clean, and other problems are in front of them, and high-rise residents can only watch the windows getting dirtier and dirtier.
Recently, however, Coworth, a brand focused on home service robots, has given a new solution - the Coworth WINBOT W1 Pro window cleaning robot. With it, you can easily solve the problem, whether you live on the 1st floor or the 31st floor, you can use the new window treasure to deeply clean the indoor and outdoor glass. And what upgrades are there for the Window Treasure WINBOT W1 Pro? What about the experience? Let's follow this article to find out!
01 Appearance continues the family design language
Cobos WINBOT W1 Pro overall packaging looks very "bloody", randomly equipped with fabric texture storage bag and game console storage bag has some similarities, aside from the corner of the "ECOVACS" Cobos LOGO, just from the appearance you must not guess that inside is a window cleaning robot.
Open the package, inside is a neatly stored WINBOT W1 Pro body, replacement rag and detergent set, after the end of weekday use can be all pocketed, whether it is easy to carry and store. In other words, this thing is not only you can use, your parents, friends, relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts as long as you want to wipe the window, you can easily pack and pack, carry is also very convenient.
Compared with the previous generation, the Coworth WINBOT W1 Pro has a tougher design, with a leather primary handle at the top and a metal round panel at the bottom. A switch operation key is set on the top of the handle, and the cleaning agent is added to the right side of the switch. A power cord and an elastic safety cord are extended under the handle, which are also fixed designs. On the side of the fuselage is an exhaust port with a grid.
Turn to the bottom and you'll see the circular air intakes, main switch and air pressure indicator, transparent water volume window for the tank, large area of water-locking microfiber mop, anti-slip timing belt and sensors at four corners. It is worth mentioning that this time WINBOT W1 Pro placed the anti-slip timing belt on the outside of the mop, with the surrounding high water lock performance mop, so as to avoid the slippage problem caused by the liquid wetting the internal drive wheel.
In the front and rear parts of the fuselage, a total of 4 water sprays are set up, and when the WINBOT W1 Pro is running, special cleaning liquid or water is automatically sprayed to enhance the cleaning effect of the window surface. From the side, the height of the whole machine is 77.5mm, and the net weight of the fuselage is 1.5kg. Overall, it can be described as small and delicate.
02 Four major upgrades to the window cleaning experience and then evolve
In order to obtain a deeper cleaning effect, the WINBOT W1 series products not only have more optimizations to the fuselage, but also have rich new features. As the flagship model, the WINBOT W1 Pro adds a very practical waterjet cleaning function.
Bilateral self-spraying water
In the past, when the window cleaning robot is in use, it is like a mop that will move on its own, if you want to get a better cleaning effect, you can only spray cleaning liquid on the glass in advance, and WINBOT W1 Pro, which has a built-in 60ml water tank, which can be injected with professional cleaning agent or tap water when used, and the liquid in the water tank will be sprayed through the built-in filter of the fuselage, spraying out from the nozzle, without causing any blockage.
The two nozzles in front of and behind the fuselage have a certain atomization effect, which can evenly spray detergent or water on the glass surface in front of the direction of travel, and by wetting in advance, stubborn stains can also be easily wiped clean by the mop. At the same time, the 60ml water tank is filled once, which is enough for WINBOT W1 Pro to clean nearly 20 square meters of window space, and the whole house window cleaning can be done with water once.
External non-slip drive system
WinBOT W1 Pro's drive system is also quite impressive compared to the previous generation, in addition to the just mentioned timing belt is placed on the outside of the mop to ensure better anti-slip effect, the timing belt material has also been upgraded. Under the blessing of patented technology, the timing belt has a higher coefficient of friction, and the internal drive wheel has changed from two front and rear to two large and one small three-point support type in front, middle and rear, and the timing belt and the glass surface are more closely fitted, and the anti-slip effect is naturally more outstanding.
Not only that, in order to avoid foreign objects entering the machine, before and after the timing belt, Coworth also designed a fixed brush to remove dust and foreign matter from the timing belt, minimizing the number of maintenance times for the WINBOT W1 Pro. When the drive capacity of the timing belt is reduced, the user can also directly control the forward and reverse movement of the timing belt through the app, and the timing belt can be easily cleaned without disassembling.
Rag upgrade
The rag can be said to be the soul of the window cleaning robot, and its good use directly affects the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency of the window cleaning robot. WINBOT W1 Pro's rag is made of high water locking integrated forming special yarn, daily cleaning is not easy to deform at the same time, in the window cleaning can quickly absorb water, the WINBOT W1 Pro spray cleaning liquid together with the dust net.
Both sides of the rag are implanted with a large number of microfibers, both front and back can be used, the front is dirty and turned over, with Velcro paste just like new, the number of washing rags is directly halved! And microfiber not only brings excellent cleaning effect, through the exquisite manufacturing process, but also brings a stronger lateral sealing, to ensure that WINBOT W1 Pro can stably fit the glass during operation, to avoid accidental falls.
Algorithm upgrade
In this time, Coworth upgraded the navigation algorithm of WINBOT W1 Pro to WIN-SLAM3.0, which under the blessing of a new generation of intelligent path planning technology, makes the accuracy of the window treasure identifying the edge of the glass higher, the planned bow-shaped path is more orderly, and the window cleaning efficiency and cleaning coverage are improved. When dealing with small pieces of glass, window treasure can also achieve intelligent identification and plan a more suitable Z-type or N-shaped path.
Through the new generation of WIN-SLAM3.0 algorithm, but also let the window treasure has a breakpoint continuous erasing function, stop the rag to change the surface, and then put back on the glass, the window treasure can continue the previous cleaning, the end of the cleaning can also be automatically returned, so that it is more convenient to take. At the same time, the travel speed of the window treasure during cleaning has also been further improved.
Complex and efficient algorithms are inseparable from the support of reliable hardware. WinBOT W1 Pro body four corners with high-precision optical coupling sensor, with Cobos patented 360 ° rotatable ball head, walking to the edge of the glass automatically recognizes and changes direction. The combination sensor scheme can effectively resist strong light interference, and then with the fuselage front impact plate, trigger the current signal after encountering the obstacle, identify the edge of the window frame, and decelerate in advance, reduce the impact on the window frame, a set of combined punches down can not only avoid corner leakage sweep, intelligently avoid the window handle, but also eliminate the accident of the machine falling.
Test the WINBOT W1 Pro obstacle avoidance in security scenarios
03 Three days of deep window cleaning experience
After the author got the machine, he conducted a series of cleaning tests on 5 18-sided windows in the house, and the results were very satisfactory. Whether you use a Coworth-specific cleaner or fill the machine with water, you can get a good cleaning effect when cleaning windows.
Clean the rain cement stains outside the window
In the cleaning scene where the author is located, the most difficult to clean is the 90-degree right-angle glass on the kitchen balcony
I believe that you will feel a headache when you see this piece of glass on the left, usually when you clean it yourself, you can only open the window on the right side, stick the window rod out of the window, the window cleaning time and effort, not to mention, it is more difficult to clean completely, and even if you are not careful, the rag or telescopic pole will fall downstairs, which is very dangerous to yourself and the downstairs passers-by.
The use of Cobos WINBOT W1 Pro, you can easily solve the problem, only need to stick out the window treasure out of the window to easily suck, do not take 5 minutes to get a piece of smooth as new glass, after cleaning after the WINBOT W1 Pro can also return to the right side of the glass, it is very convenient to take.
The cleaning effect is still very obvious, the water marks accumulated outside for many years are basically wiped clean by the WINBOT W1 Pro's high-locking water microfiber rag, and even the scenery outside the window has become clearer.
In addition to the rain stains and sand that accumulate under normal circumstances, the author also cleaned the mirror and tile walls in the bathroom scene. WinBOT W1 Pro is equally easy to clean in this type of scene,
Although the mirror in the test scene is relatively small, if it is used on a mirror with a larger area, I believe it will have a simpler and more convenient experience.
When cleaning the surface of the tile, the author also left some traces with a marker pen to test the traces of stubborn stains in the cleaning of WINBOT W1 Pro, and from the experimental results, WINBOT W1 Pro can also be easily handled and obtain satisfactory cleaning results.
Using WINBOT W1 Pro for cleaning is also very convenient, plug in the power supply, registered safety rope directly attached to the glass, WINBOT W1 Pro can be deeply cleaned by default to the window surface, middle-aged and elderly use without threshold. Using the mobile app, you can also perform three modes: fast, deep and fixed-point cleaning.
04 Multiple safety technologies prevent accidents
For window cleaning robots, safety is absolutely a top priority. WinBOT W1 Pro is equipped with a high-performance fan to achieve a strong adsorption capacity of up to 2800pa, coupled with a tightly fitted floating rag and a four-corner optical coupling sensor, so that WINBOT W1 Pro can be close to the glass during normal work. If a gap is encountered along the window edge, the WINBOT W1 Pro also automatically adjusts the air pressure for suction compensation. In actual tests, whether it is a vertical pull or a downward pull, it takes a lot of effort to move the WINBOT W1 Pro in the work.
In the event of a power outage, the Cobos WINBOT W1 Pro can also rely on the internal battery for power supply, maintaining the power loss for 30 minutes. Give users plenty of time to figure out how to restore power or "save" winbot W1 Pro.
Of course, everything has to be said in case. If the WINBOT W1 Pro does lose its suction and falls off the glass, the safety rope fixed to the fuselage can also work. The 3.5-meter-long safety rope can easily withstand the weight of 80kg, and the PROTECTION OF THE 1.5KG WINBOT W1 Pro is certainly not a problem.
Finally, Coworth also provides commercial insurance for each WINBOT W1 Pro, which can be said that Cobos has really achieved full marks in terms of safety considerations.
Throughout the entire cleaning test process, the Coworth WINBOT W1 Pro can be said to be quite excellent, the cleaning effect is remarkable, and the work is very efficient. At the same time, the eight-fold security protection also makes the use of WINBOT W1 Pro more assured.
Is the Coworth WINBOT W1 Pro worth buying? The author believes that this window treasure can indeed allow users to get a fresh and effective cleaning experience, especially for those families with large floor-to-ceiling windows, the window is not clean directly affects the subjective sense of the house, their own cleaning is very dangerous, please professionals and slightly expensive. With the Coworth WINBOT W1 Pro, you can shorten the indoor and outdoor glass that is wiped once a year to a half year, or even every quarter, and you can get a clear outdoor scenery throughout the year. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the most important cleaning of every household is coming, if you can use it to polish the glass that is usually difficult to wipe before going to relatives, it will definitely make the home more colorful.
