Gladwell Gecko Robot Window Cleaner - Smart Glass Cleaning Robot.

Did not receive manual. Did not receive remote control Does not work or move. Its stationary on the glass. Wonder if we got defective piece.

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.

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 ?

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.
