I read a comment on the Internet before: laziness is the biggest driving force for scientific and technological progress. I think it's quite right that people are too lazy to go to the TV to adjust the channel, so they have a remote control; People are too lazy to wash clothes, so they have washing machines and so on. There are countless examples of this.
When I was a child, I had to take a broom, mop and towel to clean my house. Now these jobs are handed over to sweeping robots. With the development of science and technology, even the windows are too lazy to clean themselves. After all, this is a physical job. In addition, if I want to clean the floor to ceiling windows, it will increase the risk of life. But if I don't clean them for a long time, they will look very dirty. When I come to the guests, I will almost be embarrassed.
Therefore, the window cleaning robot has become a member of the author's shopping list since then. However, how to choose from them is also a very learned thing, and the author's W836 and Boniu 188 are the two main characters in this horizontal review.
As a Corvos who has worked in the field of intelligent robots for 20 years, can it perform stably as always? And can Boniu, whose popularity is not very high, bring us surprises?
Appearance design
( W836 Official A lot of accessories are provided as standard: 4 x woven rags, very textured, detergent, safety rope, remote control, power adapter, suction cup, 1.5m extension cable )
( The main body of the machine is very important and square )
( There is a handle on the top, which is more convenient to carry alone. There is a start button on the handle )
( Window Treasure W836 There are tracks at the bottom, and the friction is very strong. )
( Bo Niu 188 Accessories list: multiple daily rags, power adapter and extension cord, safety lanyard, cleaning fluid, remote control )
( There is also a power button )
Let's take another look at Boniu 188. The fuselage is small, compact and light. However, compared with Windows Treasure W836, Bonnie looks much more simple. First of all, there is no handle on its body, so it will still bring some inconvenience in daily use( Especially when my hands are weak, I can't catch them instantly )。 Moreover, the design of its power key does not look like a high-grade product.
On the whole, Window Treasure W836 looks more refined and high-end, while Bonnie is a little inferior. For a product that is cleaned on the window and may be seen by outsiders at any time, its appearance is actually quite important, so the author prefers W836 here.
Getting Started
After seeing the photos, let's actually use them.

Before starting to use, first install the cloth on two machines. Window Treasure W836 uses velcro, while Bonnie 188 uses it to cover it. The former is labor-saving. At the same time, spray the official complimentary cleaning solution on the cloth. Window Treasure W836 can spray the cleaning solution on the cloth first, and then install it on the machine. However, Boniu 188 must install the cloth before spraying, otherwise it cannot be spread out. In this way, it is easy to spray the cleaning solution into the machine.

Before hanging the windows, both machines need to take some safety measures. The preparation work of Boniu 188 is a little troublesome, because it needs a safety lanyard to connect with it, and the safety lanyard must be hooked on a lever( Also curtain rod )Therefore, it has certain requirements for the use environment, and the hook is too thin, so it kneels when encountering a slightly thicker pole~
Windows Treasure W836 is equipped with a safety suction cup. As long as it has a smooth surface, it can be adsorbed on it. The choice of use scenarios will be wider.
After completing the security measures, you can start cleaning the dirty windows in your home. The use of both machines is very simple. After placing the machine on the window, press the start button, and the window treasure W836 and Boniu 188 will be absorbed by the strong wind, and then start cleaning.

Both machines support the automatic cleaning mode. In this mode, the W836 can intelligently plan the cleaning path according to the shape of different windows( N + Z )。 However, Bonnie 188 has only one path in this mode. In contrast, W836 can be used more easily.
Let's look at the noise. It's no exaggeration to say that Window Treasure W836 has crushed Boniu 188 too much in this respect. At a fixed distance, the noise of the former is 71.2 decibels, while that of the latter is 80.4 decibels. It may seem that this gap is not very obvious, but from the actual experience, it is a world of difference, and the noise of Bonnie is much larger.
Cleaning capacity?
Thanks to the square body and cloth design, as long as the window is facing a square window, the window treasure W836 can be cleaned without pressure. However, as long as the Bonnie 188 encounters a 90 ° angle, it will be useless. Therefore, the W836 should be better in the cleaning range.
( It can be seen that even the corners are clean, and there are no dead corners )
( However, the round design of Boniu 188 cannot be cleaned to the corner )

Now dirtying the windows a little, it can be seen that both machines can be cleaned easily to cope with the daily accumulation of dust, and there is basically no need to worry. However, the two silicone scraping strips equipped at the bottom of Window Treasure W836 can achieve the scraping wiping effect with the duster cloth, and will be more confident when facing stubborn stains.
In the process of cleaning, if there are places that are not clean enough, you can also use the remote control to move them back to that position to continue cleaning.
Attention should be paid to the fact that in the process of use, the Bonnie 188 must hold it well before turning off the power, because after the power is cut off, it will lose its suction immediately and fall off the glass. Once it is not held well, it will be easy to catch the bullet, especially when hanging it outside the window for cleaning, and then encountering a strong wind or something, which is no joke.
The actually measured Windowbao W836 will not lose its suction immediately after power failure. It can be taken down slowly and safely. Windowbao has done a good job in this regard, reducing the probability of accidents.
After cleaning, if you want to remove the W836, it is also very simple. Just press the start key for 5 seconds, it will gradually lose its suction, and then it can be easily removed, convenient and safe.
In fact, Window Treasure W836 is better in many aspects. For example, the author found that every time when the window is cleaned, the W836 will return to its starting position, which makes it easier for me to take it down. However, Boniu 188 will only stay at the last cleaning position. If it is on a very high French window, it can only be moved down with the remote control.
In addition, the W836 with suction cup design is much more convenient to use. You don't need to go to a bar to tie the safety lanyard to it like Bonnie 188. Because there are many luxury French windows, you can't install a curtain rod at all. However, you can stick the suction cup to the window treasure W836 only by finding a smooth surface at will.
last
In fact, from the perspective of simple cleaning effect, both Window Treasure W836 and Bonnie 188 can help you solve the problem, but the former is better than Bonnie 188 in terms of use experience and deeper cleaning. For example, it doesn't bother when facing 90 ° included angle, suction cup design can also adapt to more scenes, and it saves worry and effort. In fact, the most attractive thing for the author is its appearance design. As mentioned above, in nine cases out of ten, when they work, they will be seen by the people next door or even downstairs, so their appearance has become an important factor in purchasing such products.
Of course, this does not mean that Bonnie 188 is very poor. In fact, apart from the general design, high noise and inability to clean corners, there are no major problems. But on the whole, Windows Treasure W836 is better than Windows Treasure W836. So after several days of personal use, the pen maker decided to buy the Windows Treasure robot in Coworth, It can also be matched with the local treasures at home.
