Our Robots

Four robots sit in this range, each one an oval or square body no larger than a small tablet, each one built around the same principle: a vacuum motor pulling the unit flat against glass, a rotating disc underneath carrying a microfibre pad, a safety rope threaded through a loop at the base. This is the full line of automatic window cleaners Eclene builds for UK homes, from the entry-level Air through to the laser-guided Max.

What separates one model from the next isn't the core mechanism, suction against glass, a walking pattern across the pane, a cloth doing the actual wiping. It's what surrounds that mechanism. Edge detection ranges from a basic optical read on the Air to a dedicated laser sensor on the Max. Control runs from a handheld remote on every model up to a paired smartphone app on the Pro and Max. Water spray goes from a manual bottle on the two entry models to an automatic dual-outlet system higher up the range.

On a first-floor window, a stairwell pane, or a frameless glass door, that spread matters more than any single spec sheet figure. A household with straightforward framed windows and no interest in an app has a different robot to reach for than one with frameless glass and an edge that needs a laser to read accurately.

Choosing Between Four Automatic Window Cleaning Robots

The Air sits at the entry point, wired, remote-controlled, no spray tank, built for anyone who wants the suction and the automatic pattern without paying for features they won't use. The Home adds a stronger motor and genuine edge detection that reads the frame rather than relying purely on programmed paths. The Pro introduces a phone app, a brushless motor, dual automatic spray, and frameless detection, controlled from across the room as easily as from the remote in hand.

The Max carries the same specification as the Pro, suction, motor, spray, app, with one addition: a laser sensor in place of the standard optical detection, built for glass with an uneven or worn frame edge, or for frameless panels where precision at the boundary matters most. Nothing about how hard it cleans changes at the top of the range, only how precisely it knows where the glass ends.

A closer look at how the four compare, suction figures, control methods, spray systems, sits on the Air, Home, Pro and Max comparison page, useful before settling on one over another.

What Every Eclene Robot Shares Across the Range

Every model in this range runs on the same safety logic. A backup battery holds suction if the mains supply cuts, twenty minutes on the Air, fifteen on the Home, forty on the Pro and Max. A rated safety rope ties off indoors as a physical second line, independent of the electronics. None of the four is designed to run without a cord plugged in throughout the clean, the battery exists to bring the robot down safely, not to power a cleaning session on its own.

Cleaning itself follows the same sequence across the range: a dry pass first to lift grit before any water touches the glass, then a light spray, automatic on the Pro and Max, manual on the Air and Home, to finish the job. Streaking, when it shows up, traces back to a worn or overly wet cloth rather than the machine underneath it, and a fresh pad resolves it on any of the four models.

All four ship with CE certification, run on 100 to 240V input, and carry the same core promise: glass cleaned from a distance, cord attached, rope secured, without a ladder involved at any point in the process.
