Wipes and polishes windows and mirrors - We tested the Hutt 10

The Hutt 10 impresses with its ease of use and reliable navigation across surfaces. It also impresses with its edge detection and versatility. In addition to windows, the robot also cleans shower enclosures and mirrors. The cleaning results are good, even if the Hutt 10 sometimes leaves behind residue.

The MSRP of the Hutt 10 is 300 euros. The device is sold in the company’s own online store as well as through major retailers such as Amazon. At the time of testing, there is a promotion offering a free cleaning solution and additional wipes. At the time of testing, the Hutt 10 is available.

The robot is available in only one color and one configuration.

Hutt promises that the Hutt 10 robot will take care of window cleaning. The manufacturer highlights a combination of round and angular design elements, which are said to be particularly effective at removing dirt from windows. The Hutt 10 does not require app control and instead relies on a single central button.

A remote control is available for fine-tuning. Hutt promises autonomous cleaning of windows and other vertical surfaces such as tiles or mirrors. The window-cleaning robot adheres to the surface via suction, moves autonomously, wipes the surface with a rotating damp pad, and then dries it—all in a single step.

The robot is not suitable for horizontal surfaces. The Hutt 10 must be plugged into an outlet while cleaning.

The Hutt 10 comes in a sturdy bag that can be used for storage. In addition to the window cleaner, the package includes a power adapter, a remote control, three spare cloths, three spare nozzles, an instruction manual, and an empty bottle for filling the water tank. A safety cable with a carabiner is attached directly to the robot. 

The power cord is 6.5 meters long in total, which allowed us to reach almost all windows during testing without an extension cord. According to the manufacturer, retail versions now come with a bottle of cleaning solution.

Operating the Hutt 10 is incredibly simple. There is just one large button on the unit. Once the device is plugged in, a long press of the button is all it takes for the robot to adhere to a window or other vertical surface using suction. A short press starts the cleaning program.

This means the robot is ready for use within seconds. The included remote control offers more options. Using a directional pad, the Hutt 10 navigates to the edges, where spot cleaning is possible. The remote control also allows you to switch between wet and dry modes. 

You can also choose between standard and intensive cleaning modes. There’s a single button for each mode; pressing it once switches between the functions. There’s no display showing which program is currently running. Hutt does not include an app connection.

The cleaning cloths are easy to replace and wash. The square “polishing cloth” can be used on both sides. Removing the cloths is a breeze. However, attaching the round cloth to the window takes a bit of practice.

In testing, the robot reliably stays on vertical surfaces. If there’s a power outage or someone accidentally unplugs it, the robot can keep running on its built-in battery—while emitting a warning sound. Cleaning isn’t possible in emergency mode.

We tested the Hutt 10 on windows, mirrors, and shower partitions. Unfortunately, it did not work on a skylight, even though the manufacturer claims it should. The angle was likely too shallow. 

The robot impresses with its edge detection. The Hutt 10 recognizes not only window frames but also the edges of mirrors or frameless shower walls. On frameless glass surfaces, the robot moves right over the edge, leaving no area uncleaned.

Another positive aspect is its ease of use—the robot is ready to go right away and doesn’t need to be paired or initialized. For cleaning, we first used only water, and later a mixture of water and glass cleaner. We were surprised that the Hutt 10 effortlessly reaches areas that are difficult to clean by hand, such as narrow spaces or high windows.

The robot has trouble with heavily soiled windows. These should be roughly cleaned beforehand, or the Hutt 10 will need multiple passes—and the cloths should be cleaned in between. For normal dirt like dust, fingerprints, and rain streaks, the results are impressive.

However, the cleaning results aren’t perfect. During our test, we noticed on several occasions a permanent mark left by the round cleaning disc at the starting or ending position where the robot attaches itself. On one window, the mark left by the roller drive was visible after cleaning. Both can be easily removed with a cloth. 

The Hutt 10 is an exceptionally easy-to-use robot that cleans windows, mirrors, and partitions. The robot must be plugged into an outlet but has a good operating range. It attaches itself to the surface to be cleaned and, in testing, reliably navigates to all areas.

The cleaning results are generally impressive. If in doubt, run the cleaner over the area several times. However, in our test, we couldn’t get by without wiping down the surfaces afterward.
