Ecovacs Robotics has been awarded a Canstar Blue 2023 Innovation Excellence Award for Cleaning Appliances for its recently-launched WINBOT W1 PRO robotic window cleaner. This award marks the third year in a row that ECOVACS has been recognised by Canstar Blue for Innovation Excellence, and the first time it has been recognised outside of robotic vacuum cleaners, with its DEEBOT X1 OMNI and DEEBOT T9+ robot vacuums previously recognised with this accolade in 2021 and 2022.

DRN has reviewed it back in June, featuring Sime with his Tim Tams.

Canstar Blue’s Innovation Excellence Awards are scored based on product uniqueness and how disruptive or new it is to the category, measuring the impact these innovative products have on consumers’ everyday lives.

The WINBOT W1 PRO has been recognised by Canstar Blue due to its design, enabling Australians to clean without hassle, with features including dual direction cross auto-spray technology, powerful steady-climbing system, WIN-SLAM 3.0 path planning, anti-flare edge detection technology and strong suction power of 2800Pa. Its compatibility with the user-friendly ECOVACS App and ability to vocalise real time updates further enables a hands-free cleaning experience, freeing up time to focus on other activities, with the WINBOT W1 PRO also delivering an incredible clean to normally hard to reach areas.

Christine Seib, Editor in Chief, Canstar Blue: “The WINBOT W1 PRO’s mix of effectiveness, convenience and connectivity is what wowed Canstar Blue’s Innovation Excellence judging panel, which recognised that the combination relied on the development of multiple proprietary technologies by ECOVACS. Maintaining streak-free glass in and around the home is few people’s favourite job – and a job that’s just not physically possible for many householders – so the WINBOT W1 PRO also addresses a real consumer need.

This isn’t surprising from a company that has received multiple Innovation Excellence awards in the Appliances category due to its sharp focus on meeting Australians’ growing interest in time-saving robotic appliances with consistently strong product offerings.

Karen Powell, Regional Director of Australia and New Zealand, ECOVACS ROBOTICS: “We are honoured to be recognised in this year’s Canstar Blue Innovation Excellence Awards, which is made even more special by being the only brand recognised in Cleaning Appliances, for our WINBOT W1 PRO. It also marks the third year in a row that ECOVACS has won this award, an acknowledgement of our track record in consistently delivering new innovation, year-after-year, that delivers true convenience and time-saving benefits into Australian homes.

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2023, being recognised in this way by Canstar Blue is particularly meaningful, and we remain committed to leading advancements in home robotics into the future.
