Robot for difficult window cleaning arrives in Dorset

A Christchurch retailer has launched a new product that promises to make cleaning even the most difficult window easy.

Ed Griffiths, Operations Manager at the Purewell Electrical Superstore says that people visiting the showroom are fascinated to see the £359 Winbot 950 crawling effortlessly and silently across the external and internal glazing, keeping the windows squeaky clean.

He says, “We are delighted with the sales over the last week since we have demonstrated the Winbot, which is appealing to owners of commercial and residential properties who don’t want to wait for window cleaners to have clear smudge free glass.”

The plug-in robotic window cleaner, which attaches to any smooth surface and uses rubber tank-like tracks to propel itself, can be used with a life line to ensure that all health and safety concerns are met when it’s working overhead people and property. It is one of a number of robotic domestic products including vacuum cleaners, which are available on an exclusive try before you buy arrangement.

Award-winning Purewell Electrical was founded by Arthur Griffiths in 1950 in Christchurch, and is now a £5m turnover family business employing a team of 28 people. As well as new to market products, Purewell offers a wide range of well-known brands from manufacturers within their key departments including TV, audio, home appliances, photography, kitchen, bathroom and gadgets/computing.
