Comparison iBoto Win 289 vs Mamibot W120

Power consumption characterizes the load on the motor, suction fan, drives, and electronics, but it does not directly measure cleaning quality. It is more appropriate to compare this value within the same type of equipment: a more powerful device may provide greater operating headroom, but streaks and residual water are influenced more by the nozzle design, the condition of the cloths, and the movement algorithm. For corded models, this value also helps assess the requirements for the adapter or external power source.

Suction power determines how securely the window-cleaning robot adheres to the glass. A higher value helps maintain adhesion when moving over joints, minor unevenness, 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 specified pressure, the robot should be secured with a safety cable.

 

The noise level indicates how loud the window cleaner operates: the lower the value, the more comfortable the device is to use indoors. Models quieter than 60 dB are comparable in volume to a calm conversation, the 60 – 65 dB range is already clearly audible, while devices above 65 dB may interfere with work or relaxation nearby. A robot produces sound throughout the entire cycle, whereas a handheld vacuum makes noise only while directly collecting water.

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.
