HUTT vs ECOVACS Winbot: H10 vs W2 PRO Omni vs MINI 2

HUTT H10 vs W2 PRO Omni vs WINBOT MINI 2 at a glance

Head to head

The best result in each row is marked, based on my testing and the manufacturer specs. Where robots tie, all are marked.

The tally is a guide, not my verdict. The size of your glass and how much streaks bother you matter more than any single row.

Three different ways to clean glass

These three robots are less like rivals and more like three answers to the same question.

The HUTT H10 is a round-square✕Round-square designA window robot with a round spinning pad and a square pad side by side. The round pad scrubs wet; the square pad follows and polishes dry. robot. A round pad spinning at 70 RPM scrubs the glass wet, and a square pad behind it polishes dry, with a 3D suspension✕3D suspensionA floating mount that keeps the pad pressed evenly to the glass. On the HUTT H10 it holds a constant 55 N, about 12.3 lb, of pressure. holding a steady 55 N on the glass.

The W2 PRO Omni is a full-size square crawler on a portable 6-in-1 battery station. The MINI 2 is a compact square crawler with four corner brushes, on a cord.

Our tip: Decide first whether you need a battery station, because only the W2 PRO Omni can clean glass far from an outlet.

Size, weight and storage

The HUTT H10 weighs about 2.9 lb and the MINI 2 about 2.8 lb. Both are small enough to carry in one hand and store in a drawer or on a shelf.

The W2 PRO Omni is a different scale. With its station, the kit weighs about 19 lb, though the station also stores the robot, the solution and the rope in one place.

Neither the HUTT nor the MINI 2 comes with a storage case. A lidded box kept the robot, cord, rope and pads together.

Weight to carry

The HUTT H10 scrubs wet with the round pad and polishes dry with the square one.

Setup and the first week

The HUTT H10 and MINI 2 were ready in about 1 to 2 minutes per session: fill the tank, fit the pads, tie the rope, plug in. On the HUTT I also wiped the drive tracks dry every time.

The W2 PRO Omni took about 3 minutes to set up, under a minute to move between windows and about 2 minutes to pack away.

Week one was hardest on the HUTT, at 7.2, because early drifting taught me to keep the tracks and square pad dry. The MINI 2 started strongest at 8.0, and the W2 PRO Omni at 7.4.

Our tip: Wipe the HUTT H10’s drive tracks dry before every session, because damp tracks were the main reason it drifted off its line.

Suction and safety

None of the three came off the glass in four weeks. The W2 PRO Omni scored highest for safety at 9.0, the MINI 2 8.7 and the HUTT H10 8.6.

The HUTT is rated up to 6,500 Pa with a brushless motor, holds on for up to 30 minutes if the power fails and ties to a rope rated to 220 kg. The MINI 2 is rated at 8,000 Pa, holds on for 30 minutes or more with an app alert and uses a nylon rope rated to 1,600 N.

The W2 PRO Omni ties its rope to the station, which sits on the floor as the anchor, and has 12-stage protection. For upstairs outside glass, any of them beats a ladder, which the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission links to more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries a year.

My safety scores

Scores out of 10 for grip, alerts and anchoring.

How well they clean

On everyday dirt, all three were excellent. The HUTT H10 scored 9.2 on indoor pollen and dust and 9.0 on fingerprints, the W2 PRO Omni 9.0 and 8.8, and the MINI 2 9.0 on fingerprints on glass doors.

The HUTT’s real strength was the finish. Because the square pad polishes dry behind the wet pad, I saw very few streaks even with low winter sun shining straight through the glass.

On hard dirt, all three needed help. On months of outside grime, the HUTT scored 6.4, the W2 PRO Omni 6.2 in one pass and 8.4 in two, and the MINI 2 5.8 on years of grime.

Cleaning scores

My overall cleaning scores out of 10.

Our tip: Plan two passes with a fresh pad for neglected outside glass on any of the three, because one pass left a haze on all of them.

Streaks and the finish in sunlight

If streaks are what you notice, this section matters most. The HUTT H10 left the fewest of the three, which I rated "very few" in low sun.

The W2 PRO Omni and MINI 2 both wipe with a damp pad and rely on the mist drying evenly. With a well wrung-out pad they were good, but on a sunny morning I could find faint lines on big panes.

The HUTT does have a weak point here. A damp square pad cannot polish, and in my notes damp tracks were the most common reason it drifted, followed by an over-wet round pad.

HUTT H10: what caused drifting

From my notes, most to least common.

Our tip: Keep the HUTT’s round pad damp and its square pad completely dry, because a damp square pad smears instead of polishing.

Edges and corners

In the center of the glass, the HUTT H10 and W2 PRO Omni both scored 9.4 and the MINI 2 9.0.

At the edges, the MINI 2 led. Its four corner brushes scored 7.4 in the corners and 8.4 along the frames. The HUTT scored 7.0 in the corners, leaving thin slivers, and 8.2 along frames. The W2 PRO Omni scored 6.2 in the corners and 8.0 along frames with edge mode on.

The HUTT was excellent on frameless edges, scoring 8.8, and its sensors turned it cleanly before the edge.

Corners

My scores out of 10.

The MINI 2’s four corner brushes gave the best corners of the three.

Speed, power and reach

The W2 PRO Omni was the fastest on big glass and the only one that does not need an outlet. Its station runs it for up to 110 minutes, about 55 m² per charge.

The HUTT H10 was moderate in speed. HUTT claims under 3 minutes per square meter, and in my use it was quicker than dual round-pad robots but slower than square crawlers.

The MINI 2 was slowest on big glass because of its small size, and like the HUTT it needs an outlet within reach of its cord.

Bathroom and kitchen glass

The bathroom is where the two compact robots shine, and where the HUTT surprised me most.

The HUTT H10 scored 9.2 on a single mirror, 8.6 on a frameless shower screen and 7.6 on soap film. The MINI 2 scored 9.2 on a mirror with toothpaste spots and 7.4 on shower soap film.

In the kitchen, the HUTT scored 8.6 on light grease film and 8.8 on water splashes, and the W2 PRO Omni 8.0 on light kitchen grease. Heavy stove-side buildup needed a degreasing wipe first on both.

Our tip: Let bathroom steam clear before starting either compact robot, because a damp square pad on the HUTT cannot polish and the MINI 2’s pad slides on a fogged mirror.

Spray, tanks and pads

The HUTT H10 sprays an ultrasonic mist in both directions from an 80 ml visible tank, which HUTT rates for about 646 sq ft per refill. On my ground floor, both sides used about half a tank.

The MINI 2 sprays an ultrasonic mist with droplets as small as 10 microns. The W2 PRO Omni uses three wide-angle nozzles, with solution stored in the station.

HUTT includes no solution and recommends purified water. I used filtered water in all three, because the U.S. Geological Survey classes water above 120 mg/L of calcium carbonate as hard, and those minerals spot glass and clog nozzles.

W2 PRO Omni: one pad across dirty windows

My scores out of 10.

Our tip: Use filtered or purified water in the HUTT H10, because it ships without solution and its nozzles are fine enough to clog with hard tap water.

Noise, pets and family life

HUTT rates the H10 as low as 65 dB, and it was the quietest-feeling of the three. The MINI 2 was also about 65 dB in my room.

The W2 PRO Omni made a steady whoosh, roughly like a hair dryer on low. All three are clearly audible in the same room and fade one room away.

With pets, the HUTT’s spinning round pad drew a curious look from my cat for a day. On all three, I kept the rope and any cord along the wall.

How loud is it?

Manufacturer and my own readings; others are typical reference levels.

A whole-floor day with each

In week four I gave each robot a full floor.

The HUTT H10 took about 25 minutes of my own time across five glass areas, using 3 round pads and 3 square pads. My jobs were wiping the tracks dry before each window, swapping to a dry square pad for the last window and rinsing pads for about 3 minutes.

The W2 PRO Omni took about 45 minutes of my time for the whole house, including the outside glass and balcony on battery. The MINI 2 handled the bathroom, mirrors and narrow panes in a weekly routine of about 2 minutes of effort.

Cleaning and maintaining them

The HUTT H10 needs its tracks wiped before each session, its pads rinsed after, about 3 minutes, and its sensors wiped weekly.

The W2 PRO Omni needs pads rinsed after each session, about 4 minutes, and its rope checked. The MINI 2 needs its pad rinsed, about 2 minutes, and its corner brushes checked weekly.

None of the three washes its own pads.

Our tip: Replace a frayed rope straight away on any of the three, because the rope is the cheapest safety part you own.

Mistakes to avoid

Each design has its own trap, on top of the shared ones.

My four weeks, week by week

Week one: the HUTT started at 7.2 while I learned the dry-tracks routine, the W2 PRO Omni at 7.4 and the MINI 2 at 8.0.

Week two: the HUTT jumped to 8.6 on a bathroom mirror and frameless shower screen, its strongest results. The W2 PRO Omni reached 8.2 on the balcony and the MINI 2 8.4 on a shower screen.

Week three: outside glass. The HUTT scored 8.4, the W2 PRO Omni 8.0 on neglected glass and the MINI 2 8.2 on patio doors.

Week four: routine. The HUTT finished at 8.8 with streak-free results in low sun, the W2 PRO Omni at 8.6 and the MINI 2 at 8.8.

Real-life scenarios

These are the moments during testing where one robot clearly pulled ahead.

For the most streak-free finish, the HUTT H10 stood out.

My scorecard

These are my own scores out of 10, from my single reviews of each robot after four weeks of daily use.

Overall scores

My overall editorial scores out of 10.

The two Winbots tie on overall score for different jobs: the W2 PRO Omni for big glass anywhere, the MINI 2 for small glass and corners. The HUTT H10 is a tenth behind overall, but it was the best cleaner here and left the fewest streaks.

Which one should you buy?

Start with your glass and your outlets.

If you have big windows or a balcony far from outlets, buy the W2 PRO Omni. If you mostly clean mirrors and small windows and want clean corners, buy the MINI 2. If streaks in low sun are your pet hate, the HUTT H10 gave the best finish of the three.

Living with them long term

All three need pads rinsed after each session and a rope check now and then. The HUTT adds dry tracks before every run, and the W2 PRO Omni a charged station.

What I would change: more speed and a storage case for the HUTT, stronger corners for the W2 PRO Omni and a battery option for the MINI 2.

For small glass and clean corners, the MINI 2 is the one to get.

How I tested and compared them

I used each robot as my main window cleaner for four weeks, on mirrors, a frameless shower screen, kitchen windows, patio doors, balcony glass and outside windows. A second HouseholdMe tester shared the robots, and we wrote the notes together.

I scored all three on similar glass with filtered water, tested power loss on the corded robots and timed every setup, session and cleanup.

I then checked my notes against the manufacturers’ specifications and owner documentation.

• Cleaning: dust, fingerprints, rain spots and months of outside grime.
• Edges: frames, inside corners and frameless edges.
• Safety: suction hold, power-loss behavior and the safety rope.
• Ownership: setup, pads, refills, storage and noise.
