Is there a safety line should this winbot loose contact with the window or do you pad the floor/ground?

Yes. It comes with a bungee. It is also tethered by an electrical cord - so it really couldn't fall very far.

Pad the floor if it's hard, more to protect the floor than the Winbot. I've used the Winbot on about 30 windows and sliding glass doors so far. It fell twice. Didn't seem to hurt it, aside from a couple of little scrapes, but a floormat under it would protect the floor.

WINBOT uses a motor to generate suction, that is how it stays on the window. If you use WINBOT on a window above ground level, there is a Safety Pod to attach for added safety.

I had same issue and depends on how big a gap between the screen and window frame. You would need weather stripping they sell both foam and rubber kinds in different widths etc here on amazon. I just used the rubber kind and I can finally open my window without everything getting in.

One of my windows rolls down with this on and one window won't roll down because the corner catches on the edge and folds up

If the hose is coming of at the unit give it a twist it should lock into place.If the hose is coming of at the window kit you can screw in the hose in farther.

Most of the roomba products have cliff detection sensors...so it shouldn't fall. We have five cats and while they leave the room my robot is working in, they don't really seem to mind it that much.

No problem. The plastic cover just comes off by lifting it a bit and pulling off at the height the unit is installed. It does not get near the floor.

No, it will not ruin your window. It just uses static cling to stay in place.

I would check the stop on the door end of the track to make sure that it hasn't moved. It gets adjusted when the door opener is installed with the door in the closed position. Its purpose is to turn off the opener as the door touches the floor. If it doesn't, the opener detects excessive downforce as the door pushes against the floor and reverses itself. Check the install instructions to learn how to adjust the stop.

Absolutely not. I tried to get mine to stick to my second floor window and it fell. I tried moistening the suction cups but that didn't help. It fell to the ground. It's going back.

Winbot is square so it works best on square shaped windows. Having said that, it can clean a trapezoidal shaped window but it will not be able to fit into the corners.

It will go off if window is banged. It will not go off if you simply open a widow normally.

Make sure window is clean for suction cups to stay put. Mine held on very well until a squirrell sat on and squeezed into it one too many times. It didn't break though. Just clean the surface before sticking it on.

Clean the window make sure everything is dry and just follow directions in the box.. Sometimes I have issues with suction cups too, not sure why.. Once you get it to stick don't take it off. And, it might not work as well for heavier cats, our cat is very light.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

It's true that it interfere with the upward operation of the window. I was able to sand it a little bit to minimize the interference and I also applied a thin coat of silicone on the window channel and the ventshade channel area, this helped a lot.

yes, the x-it ladder steel grapple hook secures to the inside edge of the windows sill and is not effected by the window/wall size.

If your window is a vertical opening, you can get by without anything. Make sure that the top window slides down to hold the unit in place. Ron
