298

The purchaser’s initial assessment distinguished keeping windows reasonably clean with less effort from achieving the finish they could obtain manually. That is a more measured account than assuming the robot either replaces hand cleaning completely or provides no benefit.

Their tank began leaking after a few uses. A replacement arrived fairly quickly, but the follow-up described another leak, small cracks near the fasteners and a hardware error that prevented starting. They ultimately withdrew their recommendation. This is evidence of one buyer’s repeated trouble, not proof that every 298 develops the same fault.

The report is useful because it follows the purchase through replacement rather than stopping at unboxing. It remains an older individual case, however, and does not establish whether later production changed the tank or whether present-day service arrangements are comparable.
