Why get a window cleaning robot

The purpose of the automatic surface cleaning robots is to replace the need to clean your windows manually or the need to pay for a window cleaner.

Some of the benefits of using a robot window cleaner vs doing it manually:

  • Frees up your time.
  • It is cheaper. If you’ve ever hired a person to clean your windows you know that it is not a cheap service. Depending on where you are in the world and the level of service, this bot can pay for itself in as little as one use, compared to hiring a cleaner.
  • Cleaning quality is usually better than an average professional cleaner.

Using Albohes Z5 for the first time

My Albohes Z5 arrived fully assembled and ready to use out-of-the-box.

When I turned it on I noticed a blue LED light went on and then it turned red. Red on indicates that the battery voltage is too low.

Charging Albohes Z5 before use

I’m sure I could have started using it right away with the power cable attached to it, but I decided to charge it first. I wanted to use it without the power cable attached. Even though in the manual it says to always connect the power cable for normal use.

Once you have your Z5 fully charged, the actual use is very simple, really.

This is step-by-step how you use a Z5 window cleaning robot:

  1. Spray a bit of detergent on the cleaning cloth in the bottom of the cleaner.
  2. Turn on the robot by holding down the power-switch for 2-3 seconds.
  3. Put device on the glass. Make sure it’s a few inches away from the frame of the window.
  4. Press Start on the remote control

A few extra tips:

  • When turning on the device, make sure the fan starts running. It’ll make a sound similar to a vacuum cleaner, only little less loud.
  • Make sure you attach the safety rope to something sturdy when operating at high altitude or you don’t want to drop it.

Use the arrow buttons on the remote control to manually or automatically move the robot. There are 3 automatic programs:

  1. move up then down,
  2. move left then down,
  3. move right then down.

What other buyers think of it

4.96 (30 reviews)At the time of this writing Z5 has a 4.96 rating out of 5 stars at 30 customer reviews. As far as we’ve seen, there aren’t many products with ratings as high as that.

We went through all the customer reviews and noticed a few things:

  • Some people say the instructions in the user manual are poorly written. I agree that the English grammar of the manual is poor but to me it was still easy to understand. And since the product itself is easy to use, I personally do not see a problem.
  • A few people report that the robot has problems cleaning the corners of the window.
  • In general, everybody is happy with the product. Even the people who didn’t leave a 5-star review (lowest rating was 4 stars).
