HOBOT Window Cleaning Robot Guide

Compare HOBOT SP10, 298, 2S, and documented 388 differences without borrowing compatibility or operating claims across models.

Scope: A shared brand does not prove shared specifications. Verify every feature against the exact model and manual.

HOBOT SP10 iScraper, 2S and 298 have individual product profiles below. The comparison also covers manufacturer documentation for HOBOT 388, although no shopping offer for 388 is included here. Match the full model number when comparing features, replacement pads and operating instructions.

The HOBOT 298 and 2S use square bodies and linear routes, while 388 uses two round rotating cleaning wheels. Spray hardware, edge evidence, pane thresholds, controls, power instructions, pads, and service parts remain exact-model decisions. Manufacturer claims are not hands-on results.

HOBOT 298 vs 388 vs 2S at a glance

The maker documents two different chassis and movement systems. The square 298 and 2S use linear routes; the round 388 advances by rotating its cleaning wheels. Treat model-specific edge and spray details as hard verification fields, not family-wide promises.

How to compare this family

  1. Match the full model number, region and manual
  2. Measure usable pane area and resolve framed versus open-edge support
  3. Compare square linear travel with round rotating-pad movement
  4. Confirm spray tanks, approved fluid, pads and service parts for that exact model
  5. Plan secured power, tether anchoring, supervision and reachable retrieval before shopping

Questions readers ask

Can HOBOT 298 guidance be used for HOBOT 2S?

No. Both are square robots, but the current manufacturer comparison distinguishes their spray hardware, sensors, controls, and software. Use the exact manual for the exact model.

Is HOBOT 388 a frameless-glass alternative to 298 or 2S?

Do not assume so. HOBOT USA’s current comparison marks frameless use for 298 and 2S but not 388. The exact regional manual and actual edge condition must still approve any open-edge use.

Which HOBOT is best?

There is no universal winner. First exclude models that do not support the measured pane, edge, surface, power route, tether anchor, and retrieval plan. Then compare square versus round movement, spray workflow, controls, pads, and parts support.
