summed up in one sentence: in the magic city of coordinates, window cleaning machine saved my million river views.
When I was renting a house, I fell in love with the incomparable view of this house at a glance. Looking out the window, you can clearly see the Lujiazui three-piece suit, part of the Huangpu River night view, and even part of the magnificent Bund. The scenery is beautiful. In a place like Shanghai, where land is at a premium, it is no exaggeration to say it has a million-dollar river view.
However, because it is inconvenient to clean on high floors and I am generally lazy, the windows on the balcony are getting dirtier and dirtier every time I go there. Various negative filters have been added to the million-dollar river view, making it look shabby. Dust, dirt, and paint marks left by neighbors or birds, combined with this wonderful landscape, no wonder my friends say that I live in a mansion with the temperament of afghanistan war-damaged wind.
I thought about finding an aunt to come and clean the windows. Cleaning the windows is expensive, even more expensive than regular cleaning. I thought about doing it myself. Seeing the height and the various strange angles of the dirt, it is really beyond my power. and. Fortunately, although I am lazy, I am good at asking for help with tools. After combining various platforms and practical information from friends around me, I really discovered a good thing - the Bo Niu window cleaning robot.
Unboxing and Directly Viewing
Although Shanghai’s logistics had been slow before, it quickly returned to its former speed after the epidemic was brought under control, and the robot was received almost the next day.
I originally thought that one box would be everything, but later I found out that a lot of things were given, and it was a big package. Host, remote control, power supply, extension cord, cleaning cloth cover, glass water , cleaning ring, this configuration feels like it can be used for a long, long time.
The style of the entire host is refreshing and refreshing, and the black and white color scheme is also quite atmospheric. The raised part on the top is easy to hold when using, and below are two round cleaning discs.
Bo Niu's cleaning cloth can be used on both sides, and can be used repeatedly. It comes with two large packages. No matter how many windows you have in your home, you can wipe them all at once and then change them at the same time. It is really convenient. The settings of the
host itself are very simple, just a switch button, and a safety rope tied to the bottom. After all, it is a high-altitude operation, and there must be safety protection.
power adapter and extension cord are also indispensable lifelines for a window cleaning robot . With multiple extension cords, it can basically be connected from the living room to the balcony without any problem. The longer power cord also makes it easier to clean large floor-to-ceiling windows without being overwhelmed by the short cord.
Finally, it is inevitable to have a little surprise. 618 participated in the event and received a storage bag as a gift. I originally thought it was just an ordinary canvas bag, but I didn’t expect to find it when I got it. The quality is very good, it’s in a New Year-themed color scheme, and it’s very stiff. You can put the entire machine and power accessories in it for easy storage. It is also convenient to bring to friends and relatives when you go home during the Chinese New Year.
Okay, that’s it for the unboxing details. Next, I’ll share some practical information with you to see how many brushes 188 has as the sales leader in the window cleaning robot category.
field test
safety guarantee
As a window cleaning robot, the most important thing is that in addition to cleaning, it should also provide 100% safety guarantee. First, bind the safety rope to a fixed location at home, such as a shelf, railing, or other fixed heavy object at home.
I have seen some brands provide security by adsorbing two devices inside and outside the window. To be honest, it feels unreliable. I think Bo Niu's design is quite good. The motor exhausts air to form a vacuum negative pressure, which makes the machine firmly adhere to the window. Let me show you the animation. It can be said that the suction is very tight.
In order to increase safety, there is a UPS power supply inside the 188. After a power outage, it can absorb for about 20 minutes and sound an alarm. This is also quite popular and prevents unexpected power outages.
Cleaning settings
Once the robot's vacuum adsorption is set and firmly planted on the window, the natural next step is to start cleaning. After pressing the remote control to start, Bo Niu will first climb to the top and follow the "bow"-shaped route to clean. The direction can also be adjusted with the remote control midway to facilitate local key cleaning.
Bo Niu’s cleaning mode is quite scientific. The two cleaning disks are wiped alternately. At that time, when I compared the mainstream models on the market, many of them used a straight-line cleaning mode. In comparison, the twisting mode with friction felt cleaner, and the experience was indeed impressive.
For windows that have not been cleaned for a long time, the official recommendation is to dry wipe them first, and then wet wipe them for further cleaning, which is more reasonable. In fact, after the first dry wipe, the effect is already very good, as shown in the picture above.
is also very sensitive in recognition during the process of climbing the window. When it encounters the edge, it will automatically rebound and change direction. Basically, it can cover the entire glass surface very accurately.
The glass at home has suffered a lot. It has not been cleaned for almost a year, and the traces of dirt left behind are indeed excessive.
For the second time, you can use the supplied consumable glass cleaning fluid and spray a little directly onto the cloth to make it slightly moist, and the scrubbing will be even more powerful. What needs to be noted here is not to make the mop too wet, because if it is too wet, the friction of the mop will decrease, resulting in a decrease in the robot's climbing ability.
One more thing, because Bo Niu is vacuum adsorbed, it can be used on dressing mirrors, glass, bathrooms and even shower rooms at home. This robot has taken care of the most annoying cleaning work at home. It is really good. worth.
Before and after comparison
I have finished talking about the safe and clean operation settings. Finally, let me show you some comparisons of actual effects. After all, intuitive comparisons are the most significant and clear at a glance. The first picture shows the window that has been wiped on the right compared to the window that has not been wiped on the left. It is simply not a clear picture.
Before cleaning, basically the windows in the core viewing area on the balcony were already like this, which can be said to be terrible.
Look at the top of this window. It is particularly noticeable. It is no longer just floating dust, but stubborn dirt formed by being lazy and not cleaning it. Together with some white painting materials falling from the decoration, it has added to the entire Lujiazui. A layer of shadow filter.
With Bo Niu's first dry brushing, the whole feeling has been completely renewed. A large amount of dirt is completely invisible. Although there are still some residues, the window is clear and clean.
Wet wiping can basically be said to directly return the window to its original factory state. Almost the entire window is glowing. Together with the lights along the Huangpu River at night, the million-dollar river view suddenly becomes charming again.
The most important thing is that the white spots left by the original painting are no longer visible. It can be said that Bo Niu’s cleaning power is quite sharp. The strong power combined with the excellent friction of the mop, coupled with the repeated polishing by twisting and wiping, then Call someone reliable.
Finally, with a few pictures of the Jiangjing Town Tower that has been reborn, I feel a little better looking at such a night.
To summarize
From 618 to now, I have used Bo Niu 188 to clean several old windows in the whole family. I feel that it has really solved the urgent need. The dust-covered pearls of the past have begun to shine again, and I also feel the 188. The advantages of this window cleaning tool:
- is safe and reliable, and can be used by high-level people with confidence.
- has strong cleaning power. It can be said that there is no pressure on the dirty windows of ordinary households.
- is a multi-purpose machine that can clean any smooth surface in the home.
can be said to be objective and neutral, but it is not without its shortcomings because it does not have a water control setting. It would be great if it could set up automatic water discharging. Bo Niu 388 does have this function. For entry-level users, the 188 is more cost-effective.
In any case, this little window-cleaning robot really surprised me. More importantly, it made this river-view house return to its charming appearance. Although in Shanghai, the high housing prices mean that many people may not be able to afford big mansions, but at least in our own homes, we can make every square meter better.
If you can’t stand the dirty windows anymore, then what are you waiting for? Let’s go.
