Comparison ABIR WD8 vs HOBOT 368

The nominal processing time for 1 m² of glass helps assess the operating speed of a window-cleaning robot: the lower the value in min/m², the faster the pass. For example, at 2.5 min/m², a surface measuring 4 m² will require about 10 minutes, excluding a repeat cycle, repositioning the device, and preparing the cleaning cloths. Models are best compared in identical modes, since the result is affected by the route, degree of contamination, and number of passes.

Suction power determines how reliably the window-cleaning robot adheres to the glass. A higher value helps maintain grip when moving over joints, minor irregularities, or areas where the cleaning pad does not fit tightly. However, stronger suction does not guarantee better removal of stains and streaks—the result also depends on the cleaning pads, liquid dispensing, and route. Regardless of the stated pressure, the robot should be secured with a safety tether.

The backup power system uses a built-in battery to keep the window-cleaning robot attached to the glass in an emergency after the mains power goes out. It does not allow full cleaning to continue, but keeps the device attached to the glass and gives you time to remove it in the event of a sudden power outage or accidental cable disconnection. The specified time indicates how many minutes the system can maintain the robot’s adhesion to the glass without mains power.

The cable length determines whether the corded window-cleaning robot can reach the farthest part of the glass without straining the wire. When calculating, account for the route from the outlet and adapter to the window, and arrange any excess cable so that it does not interfere with movement or the safety rope.
