If you’ve ever stared at your streaky windows, sighed, and wished a little robot could magically glide over the glass to fix it, the Solenco Hobot S7 Pro is here to make that daydream a reality. This window-cleaning robot promises sparkling panes with minimal human effort—though, like most gadgets, it has both its shining moments and a few smudges.
Design & Setup
The S7 Pro looks sleek, more like a futuristic gadget than a cleaning tool. It attaches to glass with powerful suction and moves in a zigzag pattern while spraying water from its dual ultrasonic nozzles. Setup is pretty straightforward: plug it in, spritz some water into the tank, press a button, and it’s off climbing your windows like a slow-motion Spider-Man.
One thing to note: it needs to stay connected to power via its cord, so you’ll want an outlet nearby. A safety rope and backup battery provide peace of mind—important when your expensive robot is dangling outside the second floor.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the S7 Pro does a surprisingly thorough job. It leaves windows looking cleaner and shinier than most of us could manage with a spray bottle and paper towel. The spraying system keeps the pads damp enough to tackle dust, fingerprints, and even light grime. On large panes, you can watch it methodically make its way across the surface like a diligent little worker bee.
That said, it’s not completely set-and-forget. The robot occasionally needs repositioning, especially on oddly shaped or very small windows. And while it handles everyday dirt well, stubborn stains or sticky residue usually require a quick pre-scrub. Think of it as a solid helper, not a total replacement for elbow grease.
Noise & Speed
Noise-wise, the S7 Pro hums rather than roars—it’s noticeable but not irritating, like a muted vacuum cleaner. Cleaning speed is moderate. It’s not going to race across your windows, but then again, watching it in action is oddly satisfying. You might even find yourself lingering nearby, rooting for it as it slowly but surely wipes away smudges.
The App & Remote
The included remote control and smartphone app add convenience. You can guide the robot manually, schedule cleanings, or set it to tackle specific areas. It’s not exactly smart-home integrated, but the controls are intuitive enough to keep things easy.
