Hardware
The RCW 2 has an oval body with two rotating cleaning discs that the maker says drive navigation as well as wiping. Two ultrasonic spray nozzles distribute cleaning solution in an ultra-fine pattern. A single sensor detects obstacles and adapts the path.
Operation
The manufacturer lists a cleaning speed of 3 minutes per square meter and five cleaning modes, including fast, intensive and spot cleaning, plus manual control with a remote. A status light at the start button and voice output report the device state and active mode. The robot returns to its starting point when a cycle ends.
Safety
A safety battery holds the robot on the glass for at least 20 minutes during a power failure, and a safety rope secures it if it becomes unstable so nothing is damaged below the window.
Uses and Availability
The release names large and hard-to-reach windows, shower cubicles, large mirrors, and walls and tiles without joints. The sheet that accompanied it gave a recommended price of 199.99 euros including VAT and availability from December 2025. The RCW 4 was announced in the same release at 249.99 euros. The release is datelined September 2025; the show ran September 5 to 9.
