"HOBOT-2 S12" that can be cleaned without a rim. Until December 20th, you can purchase Makuake at a list price of 43,800 yen for 15% off at 37,230 yen (tax included).

[Kimura Hidenori's Tech Magic # 084] The ultra-comfortable window cleaning robot we reviewed earlier has evolved and is back. The "HOBOT-2S" is the successor to the square "HOBOT-298". The characteristic cleaning agent outlet is now two, increasing convenience. The square type is superior to the introduced "HOBOT-388" in that it is compatible with rimless glass and mirrors. Also, the convenience is that it is compatible with glass of any thickness. Although both sides of the sandwich type robot made by other companies can be cleaned at the same time, there are drawbacks such as not being compatible with double-layered glass such as heat insulating glass. HOBOT can be used with any model glass type. It is also very convenient to be able to start immediately with one touch. I would like to introduce the latest robot that is sure to be a big success for the year-end cleaning. ● Convenient to use without rims, and easy to start cleaning immediately The big difference from HOBOT-388 is that you can clean rimless glass, mirrors, and walls. I was able to forcibly clean it with HOBOT-388, but it stopped frequently and there was a danger of it falling up. If you're hoping that you can use it for things other than windows during the year-end cleaning, then HOBOT-2S is the solution. Since the author's house is a small house, he uses a lot of mirrors as a device to make it look wider. After I had a child, I was worried that it would get dirty even if I wiped it, but it is encouraging to think that it will be done automatically from now on. In addition, the one-touch button that was useful in HOBOT-388 is also installed. There are various control methods such as remote control and apps, but it is very convenient to be able to start cleaning immediately after turning on the power. If it takes a long time, it will not be used, and it will be troublesome to move to the second one after the first one is completed. The fact that the drive is wired also prevents the battery from running out when you are about to clean it. In fact, battery-powered robots made by other companies are heavy, and strong suction and magnetic force are required. When I hear that it is wired, I am worried about cleaning the outside of the window or the case where the power supply is not nearby, but there is no problem because it comes with a power cable as long as 4 m. If you try using it, you will realize that wired is overwhelmingly better. ● Achieves quick cleaning with a large body and program The large body and square shape also provide advantages that HOBOT-388 did not have. Since it can be moved to every corner of the window compared to the previous mop that was circular, there is less leftover. In addition, because it advances by the caterpillar method, it can move as quickly as 12 cm per second. It can clean 1㎡ in 2 minutes and 42 seconds, which is faster than HOBOT-388. I felt it was very good because it could save time even if it was very dirty and I wanted to repeat it several times. The weight is a concern when the main body is larger than before, but the HOBOT-2S is quite light at 1.3 kg, so don't worry (when I actually weighed it, it was just 1 kg, which was lighter than the nominal value). Even women can easily install it at this level, so it can be said that it is practical to introduce it to shorten the time required for housework. ● Compatible with various materials and has excellent ability to wipe corners. It is also effective in general cleaning that various situations can be overcome by the difference between the adsorption method and the sensor. There are overwhelmingly more places where you can play an active role, such as frosted glass, tiles with joints (5 mm or less recommended), and design glass. If there is no edge, it will operate to the point where it protrudes a little, so it will be more beautiful in every corner. In addition, HOBOT-388 also cleans the squares that were left behind, so you can appreciate that point as well. When you actually move it, the speed stands out as mentioned above. I tried moving it twice on the front and back, but it's beautiful. When wiping the outside of the window, it is supposed to be dry and it is better to turn on the spray from the second time, so the outside is operated like that. In addition, there was a lot of sebum stains on the windows and mirrors, but there were still some areas with strong stains. However, other than that, it will be pretty beautiful, so it can be said that it is quite easy if you think about doing everything with your own hands. In fact, she said that it was a lot easier for her to feel that the robot did most of the work, as her wife was riding on her stepping stones and wiping ... ● I want a physical double wipe button on the main unit! What to expect in the future What I was using and especially expected for the next work was that I wanted a button to do twice in addition to the start / stop button. You can press it again when you're done, but you'll have to go back and forth as soon as you finish. If you use the remote control, you can automatically move it twice, but once you experience the convenience of pressing the buttons on the main unit, you want to use this function even with the physical buttons. Also, I was a little worried that the amount of water was slightly reduced compared to HOBOT-388. It may get dirty even if it gets too wet, but I felt that it would be cleaner if it got a little wet. It seems that firmware can handle this, so I'd like to expect it in the future. Overall, the HOBOT-2S is a robot that has a high degree of perfection and can be used immediately. Those who think that robots can't do anything will be surprised to use it. I use it so often that I can press the taiko stamp. If you leave the windows to be cleaned regularly and live in a beautiful window, you will feel better, so even if you are not in time for the general cleaning, please buy it and give it a try.
