Best value window cleaning robots

The window robots that give up the least for the money, ranked on capability per euro spent.

Value here is capability per unit of money, measured against every other machine in the catalogue rather than a price bracket we invented. A cheap robot that leaves the corners and lets go in a power cut is not a bargain.
