Our verdict
The N1 is MOVA's first window robot, and it gets right the two things that decide the category. It holds on: 8,000 Pa is a figure only the station machines beat, the pressure compensation responds in 0.02 s, and if the power fails it keeps its grip for 30 minutes, long enough to fetch a ladder. And it cleans wet: a 120 ml tank feeds a dual-wing mist system that MOVA rates for 32 m² of glass on one fill, with six modes and a Z or N route that steers round handles and window locks. At 1.3 kg it is as light as the lightest Winbot, it runs a self-check for faults, it is rated for surfaces beyond glass, and it takes an onboard button, a remote or the app, with voice prompts in 15 languages. On the other side of the sheet: 72 dB, no claim for the corners, no claim to resume after an interruption or return to its start, and no firm warranty term or rope rating on the page.

In detail
Cleaning
It sprays water from a 120 ml tank and cleans about 32 m² per fill. It has 6 cleaning modes.
Grip and fit
Suction of 8,000 Pa keeps it on the glass, with pressure compensation. The manufacturer rates it for panes from 30 × 45 cm up to 200 × 300 cm. It detects the pane edge, so frameless glass is fine. It also works on other smooth surfaces.
Safety
After a power cut it holds on for 30 minutes. A safety rope is included. It checks itself for faults before it starts.
Navigation and control
It plans its path and steers round obstacles. It comes with a remote. It gives voice prompts.
