Small sample (532 ratings). The listing pools the W2S Omni, W2 PRO Omni and W2S, so the histogram is not W2S Omni only.

Trusted Reviews found its cleaning brilliant and its grip secure, with edge scrubbers for corners. But it was noisy, the spray blew away in a breeze, it won't fit small windows, and the tester didn't save time because they felt they had to watch it.

Top complaints

  • Needs watching, saves little time

    Trusted Reviews says it didn't save any time because the tester felt they had to watch it in case it got stuck or fell off. Amazon's summary for this pooled listing says it can get stuck.

  • Won't fit small or hard-to-reach windows

    Trusted Reviews couldn't use it on small top-opening windows (minimum pane is 30 x 40 cm) and found no safe way to place it on most first-floor exterior windows.

  • Noisy; spray blows away in wind

    Trusted Reviews recorded 68 dB, found the cleaning solution didn't reach the glass in a slight breeze, and noted a short 1.2 m power cable.

What owners love

  • Brilliant cleaning

    Trusted Reviews says it removed dust, water marks and smears inside and out, and cleared most of a tomato-sauce smear, though sticker residue stayed.

  • Stayed firmly attached

    On a first-floor exterior window it stayed firmly attached and didn't fall. The 5.2 kg station acts as an anchor, and Ecovacs claims it can stay attached for up to 30 minutes on low power.

  • Quick setup

    Trusted Reviews says it took no longer than five minutes from box to window, and the app is optional.

Good for
  • Large windows and patio doors
  • Edges and corners (TruEdge scrubbers)
  • Battery or mains power

Scores (tap for why)

  • Cleaning (streaks)4.0
    Why 4.0?Brilliant cleaning of dust and water marks per Trusted Reviews; it doesn't remove sticky residue.
  • Edges & corners3.5
    Why 3.5?Corner TruEdge scrubbers and a dedicated edge mode; it glided under door handles, but some sauce was pushed to the window edge.
  • Grip & safety4.0
    Why 4.0?8,000 Pa suction, a heavy anchor station and strong cable; it stayed firmly attached outdoors in testing.
  • Setup & noise3.0
    Why 3.0?Five-minute setup, but 68 dB, a short power cable and wind sensitivity.

What experts say

  • Trusted Reviews: A brilliant robotic window cleaner for large windows (first reviewed 2026-06-02, UK RRP £529). Cons: unsuitable for small windows and for most exterior cleaning above the first floor.
