Product description

Clean windows at the push of a button with the Hobot 298

Suitable for different surfaces

The glass cleaning robot has a particularly wide field of application because it can individually adjust to uneven surfaces. For this reason, it is not only suitable for cleaning windows but can also to be operated on mirrors or surfaces covered with foil. The thickness of the glass is not of importance, because the window cleaning robot is also suitable for multiple glazing.

 

A glass cleaning robot for small and large glass surfaces

The Hobot 298 can be operated on small and large glass surfaces. It is important that the minimum size of 40 x 40 cm and the maximum size of 6 x 5 m is kept in mind.

Cleans framed and frameless glass surfaces

The Hobot 298 is a perfect window cleaning robot for glass surfaces with and without frames. Through in-built sensors it detects the end of the surfaces and doesn’t drop.

Maximum safety Maximum safety

Maximum safety

We recommend to always use the 4.5 m long safety rope when operating the glass cleaning robot. Furthermore, the Hobot has to be charged before each usage because of an in-built emergency battery. This battery keeps the robot on the window for up to 20 minutes in case of a power cut.

Works in mains operation onlyWorks in mains operation only

Works in mains operation only

Please note that the glass cleaning robot cannot be used wirelessly. It must always be supplied with power, even during use, because it functions exclusively in mains operation.

HB-298: a revolutionary window cleaning robot

Controlled with a remote or smartphone-appControlled with a remote or smartphone-app

Controlled with a remote or smartphone-app

A remote control is included in the scope of delivery with which the window robot can be controlled comfortably. Furthermore, an app is available to be downloaded free of charge. The app can also be used to control the robot (only in close proximity to because the app works with Bluetooth).

Ultrasonic spray system for a particularly efficient cleaning

On one side of the window cleaning robot there is a water tank with a capacity of 50 ml. This can be filled with water or a cleaning fluid. During the cleaning, the robot sprays the fluid onto the window in an ultra-fine mist. Like this, the glass surfaces can be cleaned even more efficiently.

 

Washable and reusable cleaning cloths

The window robot cleans the glass surfaces with the help of a microfiber-cloth which is mounted on the bottom side of the robot. This cloth can be washed in the washing machine and is therefore reusable.


With a dimension of 24 x 24 cm, the microfiber-cloth is particularly large. Thanks to the size of the cloth and a high cleaning speed, the robot can clean 1 m2 in only 2.4 minutes.

 

Limited use only on skylights and winter gardens

Unfortunately, the robot cannot be used automatically on inclined glass (such as roof windows). It can only be controlled on these surfaces with the direction buttons on the remote control. We advise against overhead use (e.g. roof of winter garden). 

 

Comparison: Hobot 288 vs Hobot 298

The Hobot 298 is the successor of the customer favorite Hobot 288. It scores with a new ultrasonic spray system which allows an even more efficient cleaning as its predecessor. There are no differences known other than that.

The following right of cancellation is only valid for consumers.


End of right to cancel


9.2: Please avoid damaging and soiling the goods. Please return the goods to us in their original packaging if possible, with all accessories and packaging components. If necessary, please use an additional layer of protective outer packaging. If you no longer have the original packaging material, please ensure that you pack the goods in a way that offers sufficient protection from transport damage so that you avoid incurring claims for damages resulting from inadequate packaging.

9.3: Please note that the arrangements noted in section 9.2 are not a prerequisite for effective exercising of the right to cancellation.

 

Section 10: Transport damage

10.1: If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please register a complaint about such defects with the delivery agent immediately, and get into contact with us as soon as possible. Get in touch with us by email or using the contact form.

10.2: Neglecting to register a complaint with the delivery agent or failing to get in contact with us has no effect on your statutory guarantee rights. Doing so would however help us with asserting our own claims against the delivery company and/or transportation insurance provider.

 

Section 11: Risk-bearing during delivery

When the goods are being delivered, the risk for loss of or damage to the goods only transfers to the consumer when the goods are delivered to the consumer or to a third party named by them, not including the delivery agent. However, if the consumer concludes a contract of carriage themselves without selecting one of the delivery options suggested by us, the risk is transferred to the consumer when the goods are handed over to the delivery agent.

 

Section 12: Guarantee

12.1: The guarantee is limited to the statutory period of 24 months from the date the consumer receives the goods, or the date the service was ordered. Where a justifiable complaint has been lodged about a defect, a free replacement will be provided, or the defect will be rectified, for which an appropriate period of time must be allowed. If an exchange or rectification is ruled out (not possible, too expensive, unreasonable, deadline delay), the customer has the right to a reduction in price or, if the defect is not insubstantial, to cancel the contract (revocation). If possible, defects are to be reported upon delivery or upon detection. If the purchase is a business transaction for the customer (B2B), they must examine the goods within 2 weeks of receipt at the latest and report any defects to us without delay.

Our company is only liable for damages in cases of intent and gross negligence. This liability does not apply to cases of personal injury and/or consumer business. Insofar as it is not a matter of consumer business, the injured party must prove the existence of cases of slight and gross negligence. The possibility of compensation to the customer for consequential damages (arising from defects), other damage to property, pecuniary losses and damages to third parties, insofar as it is not a matter of consumer business, is excluded. Our company, as the operator of the online shop named in the legal notice, renders the services offered with the utmost care, however, we are not liable for services provided or purchased by third parties.

Guarantee claims should be made to the guarantor (the manufacturer/sometimes also the retailer if these are the same) and are effected according to their provisions. Claims on the guarantee do not affect the statutory guarantee.

12.2: Rechargeable batteries are consumer goods that come with a limited guarantee. Guarantee claims cannot be made for the loss of performance of rechargeable batteries due to normal wear and tear or due to improper use, handling or storage. Guarantee claims cannot be made against the loss of performance of rechargeable batteries after 12 months.

 

Section 13: Liability

We are not liable for slightly negligent breaches of duty insofar as these are not related to material contractual obligations, damages arising from injury to life, body and health, or to guarantees, or if they affect claims arising from the product liability law. The same is valid for breaches of duty on the part of our vicarious agents.

 

Section 14: Ineffective clauses

Should a provision in these General Terms and Conditions be invalid, the rest of the contract remains valid. The appropriate statutory regulations shall be in force to replace the ineffective provision.

 

Section 15: Place of jurisdiction and applicable law

15.1: The legal places of jurisdiction are valid. Therefore, the competent court is that of the administrative district of the consumer’s home, usual place of residence or place of employment.

15.2: These Terms and Conditions and the contracts entered into under these Terms and Conditions are subject to Austrian material law. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.

 

Section 16: Place of fulfilment

The place of fulfilment for all transactions is the company headquarters.

With every visit to the website, the web server documents the request and stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains information such as the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data).

These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit f GDPR this serves the protection of our legitimate interests, which are overriding in the process of balancing interests, in the proper presentation of our offer. All access data are deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit on our website.

Data are also processed by a third-party provider that we have engaged to render hosting and website presentation services on our behalf. This provider processes on its servers all data that are collected in the manner specified below when you visit our website or fill in forms made available for this purpose in our online shop. Data are processed on other servers only in the scope described herein.

We collect personal data when you provide it in the context of your order of products and services, when contacting us (e.g.: by contact form or email), opening a customer account, for the maintenance / repair of products or management of the warranty, and to voluntarily submit warranty. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we absolutely need those data to perform the contract, process your contact request, or open your customer account, and you would otherwise not be able to complete your order and/or create your customer account or send the contact request. It is evident in each input form what data are collected. We use the data that you disclose to us to perform the contract and process your enquiries according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit b GDPR. Upon completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, any further processing of your data will be restricted, and your data will be deleted upon expiry of the retention period applicable under relevant regulations, unless you expressly consent to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use your personal data in the scope and manner permitted by law, of which we inform you in this notice.

3. Transfer of data

We disclose your data to the shipping company in the scope required for the delivery of the ordered goods according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. b GDPR. Depending on the payment service provider you have selected during the order process, we disclose the payment details collected for order processing purposes to the bank commissioned to handle the payment and, as the case may be, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. Some of those data are collected by the selected payment service providers themselves if you open an account with them. In such a case, during the order process you must register with the respective payment service provider using your access data. In this respect, the privacy notice of the relevant payment service provider applies.

 

Disclosure of data to a shipping provider

If, when or after placing your order, you have given your express consent to us doing so, we will disclose your email address and phone number to the selected shipping provider based on that consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, in order to enable the shipping provider to contact you to advise you of the delivery or agree with you the details of the delivery.

You may revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact option given below or by directly notifying the shipping provider at the contact address specified below. Following the revocation of your consent, we will delete the data disclosed for this purpose, unless you expressly consent to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use your personal data in the scope and manner permitted by the law, of which we inform you in this notice.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit a GDPR, using the data required or disclosed by you separately for this purpose.

The newsletter is sent to you by our service provider who processes data on our behalf and to whom we disclose your email address. For the dispatch of our newsletter we use the services of MailChimp. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Among other things, MailChimp is a service that supports the dispatch, organisation and analysis of newsletters. If you enter data for the purposes of newsletter subscription (e.g. email address), it will be stored on MailChimp's servers in the United States.

 

MailChimp analysis

With the help of MailChimp we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file contained in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the United States. This way it can be determined if a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient; they exclusively serve the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to improve future newsletters in the interests of the recipient.

Right to object to data collection

If you do not want analysis of your data to be undertaken by MailChimp, please unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link in each newsletter message that enables you to unsubscribe from it. Furthermore, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. Data processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation. The data deposited with us for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter will be stored by us until it has been removed from the newsletter and, after unsubscribing from the newsletter, deleted both from our servers and from the servers of MailChimp.

 

Postal advertising and your right to opt out

These interests are overriding in the process of balancing interests. The advertisements are sent to you by our service provider who processes data on our behalf and to whom we disclose your data for this purpose. You can opt out of the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to us via the contact option specified below.

 

5. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge

We have integrated the Trusted Shops Trustbadge on this website in order to display our Trusted Shops Trustmark and offer the Trusted Shops products to customers after placing an order.

These interests are overriding in the process of balancing interests. The Trustbadge and the advertised Trustbadge services are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany.

With every use of the Trustbadge, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains data such as your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. Those access data are not analysed and are automatically overwritten no later than seven days after the end of your website visit.

Other personal data are transferred to Trusted Shops only if you decide to use or have already registered to use Trusted Shops products after placing an order. In such a case, the contract concluded between you and Trusted Shops applies.

7. Advertisement for marketing purposes

Google AdWords remarketing

We use Google AdWords to advertise our website in Google search results and on third-party websites. For this purpose, when you visit our website, Google’s so-called remarketing cookie is set on your browser,  allowing the automatic display of interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and information about your website visits. This serves the protection of our legitimate interests in the optimal marketing of our website according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR. These interests are overriding in the process of balancing interests.

Any data processing that goes beyond that scope takes place only if you have allowed Google to associate your web and app browsing history with your Google account and to use information from your Google account to personalise ads that you see across the web. If, in such a case, you visit our website while being signed in to Google, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to build and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google will temporarily join your data with Google Analytics data to build audiences.

Google AdWords remarketing is offered by Google LLC (www.google.com). Google LLC is headquartered in the USA und and is certified to the EU-US-Privacy Shield. You can see the up-to-date certificate here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has recognised entities certified to the Privacy Shield as those ensuring an adequate level of data protection.

You can disable the remarketing cookie via this link. In addition, you can obtain information about the setting of cookies from the Digital Advertising Alliance and adjust the settings of your browser accordingly.

 

Google Conversion Tracking

As part of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. If you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie will be set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for the personal identification of the users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired yet, Google and myRobotcenter can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. You can configure your browser so that you will be informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of advertisers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy.

 

Right to object

Although we have legitimate interests in using and storing "conversion cookies", we offer the option to opt out of this. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt out by in turn opting out of the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through your Internet browser under User Preferences. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art.  6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising.

 

Facebook remarketing / retargeting

There are remarketing tags  on our pages which link to and are integrated with the social network website, Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our pages, a direct connection is made between your browser and the Facebook server via the remarketing tags (Facebook Pixel). Through this process Facebook obtains information about the pages you have visited with your IP address. In this way Facebook can match your visit to our pages to your user account. We can use the information obtained in this way for the display of Facebook ads. Please note that we, as the host of these pages, have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or the usage thereof by Facebook. Further information can be found in Facebook’s data protection statement. If you do not want your data to be collected via Custom Audience, you can deactivate Custom Audiences here.

To prevent Facebook from assigning collected data to your user account on Facebook, please log out from Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Facebook plugins from loading by using add-ons to your browser, e.g. with the script blocker ‘NoScript’.

With the help of the remarketing tag (Facebook Pixel), Facebook is able to designate you, as a visitor of our online offer, as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads we have been sent only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products visited by them) Web pages determined, which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads are in line with the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can continue to understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law.

 

Right to object:

While we have legitimate interests in using the Facebook Pixel and storing "conversion cookies", we offer the option to opt out of this. You may object to the capture by the Facebook Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To set which types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the usage-based advertising settings. The settings are platform independent, which means they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You may also object to the use of cookies for metering and promotional purposes, via the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative, and additionally via the US website aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com. If you do not want Facebook to collect data via Custom Audience, you can deactivate Custom Audiences here.

The use of Facebook Pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising.
