Head to head

Ecovacs Winbot W2S Pro Omni vs Ecovacs Winbot Mini 2: cordless or corded?

One window robot carries its battery in a base station. The other runs on a cable to the wall. This page sets out what that changes at the window.

Seen from the floor of a room with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, the Ecovacs Winbot Mini 2 cleans the pane in the corner with its cord running down, along the skirting and up into the outlet on the wall beside it, while the Winbot W2S Pro Omni cleans further along the glass on a cable that crosses the floor to its battery station, plugged into nothing.

Streak-free glass, tidy edges, dirty corners

Hands-on test found streak-free glass and about 0.08 in left at straight frames. Corners kept a strip. Measured 58 dBA.

Winbot Mini 2One review found

One hands-on review, May 2026: results good but not perfect, and a cable to manage.

Hands-on review, May 2026

The same on both: each is a window-cleaning robot with a cable running to it.

Seen from the top of a staircase, the Ecovacs Winbot W2S Pro Omni sits docked on the front of its battery station, set down on the half-landing beneath a tall landing window with no outlet near it, a spray bottle beside it.
