Product Information

Safety Regulations
All window-cleaning robots on the market are designed to clean along the window frame seal. To ensure thorough cleaning, the robot requires strong suction to adhere closely to the glass and create friction. This may, in some cases, leave marks on the frame seal due to the friction. If you are  concerned about potential scratches on the seal, please consider this carefully before using the window-cleaning robot. Any wear on the frame seal after use cannot be a basis for returns or compensation.

Usage Restrictions

1. This product must not be operated without using the safety rope component or without following the requirements outlined in the manual. Our company is not responsible for any losses or injuries caused by improper use.
2. The product cannot be used by children or individuals with physical or mental disabilities. If necessary, ensure it is used under the supervision and guidance of a guardian. Do not let children approach the product while it is operating or use it as a toy.
3. Before operating, always check that the safety rope is fastened securely, and ensure the rope is fixed to an immovable object indoors before use.
