This window-cleaning robot does what no squeegee ever could: the work for you.

No more raised arms, endless wiping and big surfaces to scrub by hand. A new generation of window-cleaning robots can now work its way across the glass automatically while you get on with something else.

Vitrela

You know the scene: the sun streams through the ranch slider… and instantly shows up every streak on your windows. Out come the bucket, the cloths and the squeegee again: you scrub the whole surface, then start all over on the other side.

With several windows, big ranch sliders or a conservatory, keeping your glass clean quickly turns into a real chore. And even with the best products, one thing never changes: you're still the one doing all the work.

The problem with traditional window cleaning:

  • Repetitive, tiring movements: raising your arms, scrubbing, pulling the squeegee, going back over a streak, then starting again across the whole surface. The bigger the ranch slider, the more the work repeats itself.
  • Hard-to-reach areas: large windows, the top of ranch sliders and some outside surfaces often mean stretching, constantly shifting position or getting out a stepladder to reach the whole surface.
  • Calling in a professional is expensive: in New Zealand, window cleaning generally costs $5 to $12 per m², and up to $12 to $27 per m² for work at height. With a few cleans a year, the bill quickly climbs to several hundred or even thousands of dollars…
  • Risk of falling: After 65, more than eight out of ten home and leisure accidents are falls. Climbing a stepladder, leaning out to reach the outside or working with your arms above your head all increase the risk of losing your balance.

In short: to enjoy perfectly clear windows, we've long accepted running the squeegee ourselves dozens and dozens of times over every centimetre of glass.

A new generation of devices is completely changing the window-cleaning chore.

That's exactly the problem a new generation of window-cleaning robots sets out to solve: what if, instead of improving the squeegee or the cleaning product yet again, you could simply hand the cleaning over to a device?

The goal is simple: a robot you place straight onto the glass, able to cling to it, move around automatically and clean the surface while you get on with something else.

No more running the squeegee over every centimetre of glass yourself. You set the device up, start it, and it takes care of the cleaning for you.

That device is Vitrela.

The story behind this innovation

Since its launch, Vitrela has quickly found its audience. Word of mouth then did the rest: more and more households are looking for a simpler way to clean their windows, without spending hours scrubbing or making pass after pass with a squeegee. Vitrela meets exactly that need.

Faced with this demand, it would have been easy to try to produce more, faster and more cheaply. A different choice was made: keep the same high standards on every unit, even if that means limiting the quantities available.

The materials, the assembly and the quality checks therefore get the same level of attention as on the very first models. Because a device designed to be used regularly all around the house must, above all, be built to last.

That's also part of its success: people who start using it tell those around them, and the idea of handing this chore over to a device naturally wins people over.

And when you look at how Vitrela works on the inside, you quickly understand what makes all the difference.

Why Vitrela completely changes the way you clean your windows

With a squeegee, the principle has never really changed: your arm does all the work. You have to cover every centimetre of glass, go back over the streaks and start again on the next window.

Vitrela simply turns this logic on its head: instead of you moving the tool, the device moves itself across the glass.

Thanks to its suction system, it holds itself directly against the glass. Once started, its automatic route lets it move across the surface and detect the edges while its microfibre pad does the cleaning.

Three differences change everything:

  • You no longer scrub the whole surface yourself. You place Vitrela on the glass, start it, and it automatically carries out its cleaning passes.
  • Large surfaces become much easier to keep clean. Ranch sliders, French doors and conservatory walls can be cleaned pane by pane, without having to repeat the same movements by hand over their full height.
  • It can also work on the outside of compatible windows. The device clings to the glass and its safety rope keeps it secure when used on the outside, while you stay indoors.

What customers say about Vitrela:

★★★★★“At first, I was really sceptical. Above all, I wondered whether a device placed on a window could genuinely do the work for me without me having to go over it again afterwards. Our ranch slider takes up almost the full width of the lounge and it was always a chore. Now I put Vitrela on the glass, press the button and get on with something else while it cleans. When it's finished, I just move it to the next window. Honestly, I didn't think it would save me so much effort.”— Raewyn R.
★★★★★“What worried me most was using it on the outside of the windows. I was scared it would come loose. After the first go, I was reassured: it sticks to the glass really well and the safety rope gives extra peace of mind. I stay inside while it cleans the outside. Just not having to lean out or get the stepladder out any more completely changes the way I do my windows.”— Wayne V.
★★★★★“I'd read that you have to move the robot from one window to the next and I wondered whether it was really worth it. In practice, it's nothing like cleaning by hand. Yes, I move it when a window's done, but in the meantime it's the one doing the work. I no longer spend my time with my arms up, scrubbing the whole surface. When you've got several big windows like we have, the difference is huge.”— Glenys G.
★★★★★“Our conservatory has glass on three sides and cleaning it used to take up a good part of the weekend. I'd put the chore off for as long as I could. With Vitrela, I just go pane by pane: I start it, carry on with what I was doing and come back to move it when it's finished. It's on the big surfaces that you really see the point of it. I wouldn't go back to cleaning entirely by hand.”— Alison C.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • Could it fall, especially on an outside window or if there's a power cut? Vitrela holds itself against the glass with its suction system and also has a safety rope for use on the outside. If there's a power cut, a backup battery keeps it in place for around 20 minutes and an alarm alerts you so you can retrieve it calmly. This battery is purely a safety feature: while it's cleaning, the device stays plugged into the mains.
  • Will it work with my windows, ranch sliders and conservatory? Yes. Vitrela is designed for the vertical glass surfaces around the home: windows, French doors, large ranch sliders and conservatory walls, both on the inside and on outside surfaces you can reach.
  • Can I use Vitrela on shower screens and mirrors? Yes, on flat, compatible glass surfaces such as glass shower screens and mirrors. Vitrela can help remove water marks, everyday residue and marks on the glass. Just make sure the surface is smooth enough and suitable for the device to grip.
  • Can I use window cleaner with Vitrela? Yes. Vitrela has a built-in 35 ml reservoir that you can fill with your window cleaner. Once the reservoir is full, the device sprays the liquid during cleaning to help lift streaks and dirt. A few millilitres are enough to clean several windows, without having to spray each surface by hand.
