Robot Window Cleaner & Pets — How Does It Work, and Which Is the Best Choice? (2025)

If you live with dogs or cats, you know that windows get dirty faster than you'd like. Nose prints, paw prints, saliva splatter—it's all part of the job. A robot window cleaner can save a tremendous amount of time, but does it really work well in a house with pets? In this comprehensive guide, you'll discover what's important and what's not, which safety features you should have, and why the STEGA SCR2-01 Window Cleaner is an excellent choice for pet-friendly households.

Short answer: Yes — robot window cleaners work perfectly with pets, provided you choose strong vacuum grip, a reliable backup battery, microfiber pads, and edge detection. The STEGA SCR2-01 scores above average in this regard thanks to its 2500 Pa grip, backup battery, 40 ml spray tank, and low noise level.

Why do windows get dirty faster with pets?

  • Dog nose stains on sliding doors and balcony windows
  • Paw prints from walking outside/inside
  • Saliva splashes in larger dog breeds
  • Cat noses pushing against glass
  • Coat + condensation → milky spots on glass

That is precisely why an automatic window cleaner is ideal: it takes care of frequent maintenance effortlessly.

Key Features for Robot Window Cleaners with Pets in the Home

1. Strong vacuum adhesion (min. 2500 Pa)

The robot must remain attached to the window, even if a cat unexpectedly taps it. The STEGA SCR2-01 uses 2500 Pa of vacuum force —enough for a stable grip on large windows.

2. Emergency battery in case of power failure (at least 15–20 min)

The SCR2-01 has a backup battery of approximately 20 minutes , so it will not fall during a power failure.

3. Safety cord / anti-fall protection

Absolutely essential for pets: if a dog or cat touches the cable, the safety cord will catch the robot.

4. Microfiber pads that are good against hair + nose prints

The SCR2-01 uses thick microfiber cleaning pads that effectively remove nose stains and greasy paw prints.

5. Low noise level (below 67–70 dB)

Quiet is important for sensitive cats. The STEGA SCR2-01 is specified as ≤ 67 dB (in the table); elsewhere, 70 dB is mentioned. We recommend using the 67 dB value as the official specification.
