Робот для мойки окон.
Сейчас не так уж и редко встретишь обсуждение роботов-пылесосов. Тема более менее проникает в быт, не только гики и фанаты гаджетов завели себе таких зверей. А вот роботы для мойки окон — пока ещё диковинка.
Мои родители пару лет назад поставили панорамные окна, и я им такого подарил. А теперь вот взял сам попользоваться, впервые в жизни. Он очень забавно ползает по стеклу.
В целом, впечатления такие же, как от пылесоса: старательный человек уберет/помоет заметно лучше, но в выборе между "робот сделает средненько прямо сейчас" и "человек сделает хорошо, но никогда" побеждает первое.
Да, окна мыть, это вам не квартиру убирать. Уборку обычно делают раз в неделю, а окна хорошо если раз в полгода. Казалось бы: "Ну раз в полгода то и самому не лень помыть!" Но, во-первых, всё-таки лень (точнее, некогда из-за работы и более приоритетных дел). А, во-вторых, у мойщика есть важное свойство, которого нет у пылесоса — повышение уровня вашей безопасности. В обычных условиях нужно вставать на подоконник или как-то свешиваться, даже при использовании длинной швабры. Есть хитрые механизмы на магнитах или со специальной ручной для безопасной мойки, но это всё равно требует орудовать в сравнительно опасных условиях. Робот же требует просто поставить его снаружи на край окна, а потом забрать с этого же края.

5 phrasal verbs with “PAY”
I shared the questions first on purpose — to make you think before seeing the meanings.
That struggle helps the meanings stick better than passive reading.
If a meaning surprised you, that’s good — it means your brain is actually learning.
