Review of the Ultenic T10 Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop

如果您问100个人最兴奋的技术，他们会提供各种答案。有些人可能会谈论最新的iPhone或他们的下一个加一代游戏机。有些人会谈论浮华的硬件，例如电动汽车和火箭火星。有些会更加周到，并谈论延长生命的技术或治疗癌症。但是在这100个人中，您可能不会听到一个人谈论机器人真空。面对现实吧，对于新的和改进的真空，没有什么令人兴奋或诱人的。这只是另一个小工具，对吗？

Yes and no. A robot vacuum is indeed totally optional. There are other ways to clean your floor. But the benefit of a robot vacuum is that it’s automatic. It reduces your involvement in the cleaning process as much as possible. Think of an electric dishwasher, or your clothes washing machine. Yes, you can wash all your dishes by hand. You could also scrub your clothes on a washboard. But that takes a lot of time, which you could spend doing other things. You could be cooking a homemade dinner, or spending time with your family, or playing video games. A robot vacuum does the same thing. It takes over a boring, mundane job so you can do something more enjoyable.

Today, we’re going to be reviewing the Ultenic T10 Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum. This robot vacuum doesn’t just clean your floor by itself; it empties its own internal dust bin. As a result, you won’t have to empty the vacuum every time it gets full. You just have to empty the base station every couple of months. That’s a lot of time savings, which is the main thing you want to see from a robot vac. But what else is it capable of? How does the mapping system work, and how clean does it actually get your floor? To find out, we took a deep dive into all the T10’s features, functions, benefits, and drawbacks. Now, we’re going to tell you everything we’ve learned about this vacuum. Let’s get started!

Overall Design

TheUltenic T10is an ordinary, disc-shaped robot vacuum that measures 13.78 inches in diameter. This is a touch larger than most older vacuums, but for good reason. The larger the diameter, the more floor it can cover in a single pass. The height of the unit is 3.86 inches, which is also a bit larger than most. As a result, it won’t fit under very low furniture. But it will still fit under a bed frame just fine, and even under some sofas. A good portion of that height consists of an elevated laser sensor. This sensor is silver in color, and protrudes directly from the center of the housing.

The rest of the housing is white polymer, although the top is covered with a sheet of tough tempered glass. As with many robot vacuums, the sides are fairly beefy, with a bumper-style design. Thanks to the navigation system, this isn’t strictly necessary. But it’s nice to know that if you accidentally kick the vacuum, you won’t destroy it. In the back, you’ll see a clear housing, which is the back of the dust hopper. This same hopper also functions as a mopping reservoir, so you can easily see the water level. The upside of this dual-purpose design is that the reservoir is fairly large, since it doesn’t have to share space. The downside is that you can’t mop and vacuum on the same cycle. But for most people, that’s a niche application to begin with.

T10真空的顶部有两个简单的touch controls towards the front. These consist of a power button, which initiates cleaning, and a home button to return the vacuum to base. Between the two buttons, there’s a row of small LED lights, which indicate the current battery charge. Everything else is done through the app, which we’ll discuss more in a little bit.

On the bottom of the vacuum, you’ll find the main brush, between a large set of wheels. These are the primary drive wheels, while a smaller, steering wheel is located towards the front. The main roller brush is tough and durable, and it’s relatively easy to access for the inevitable detangling. To the sides, a pair of horizontal brushes sweep out like helicopter blades. They pull dirt in from a wider area, guiding it directly into the main roller. These brushes won’t do as much on a carpet, but they’re a godsend on hardwoods and tiles.

在主刷的后部，放宽表面位于储层下方。要附着在拖把上，您可以获得一对高质量的垫子。这些垫子是机器洗涤的，理论上可以根据您的要求多次重复使用。

The vacuum itself charges in a larger base station, which looks like a small canister-shaped trash can. This is a bit bigger than most robot vac base stations, and for good reason. It doesn’t just charge your battery – it also empties the internal hopper. The bulk of the base station consists of a large upper canister, which houses the dust bag. The bag is disposable, and has a capacity of 4.3 liters. It’s a standard vacuum bag, with a cardboard flange at the mouth which you slide into place in the canister. As a result, it’s also reusable. You can save money by reusing the same bag many times, instead of buying a new one whenever it’s full.

All of this – the vacuum, accessories, and stand – is covered by a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. If anything goes wrong during that time period, you’ll get a free replacement or a refund. You also get access to 24/7 customer support, in case you run into any setup issues.

As you can already tell, the T10 has a lot to offer. But along the same lines, it’s also fairly pricey. If you’re looking to spend less for your robot vac, consider theBagotte BG750instead. It’s a more run-of-the-mill vacuum with few extra features. But it still cleans your home by itself, and it’s much more modestly priced.

真空性能

The Ultenic T10 vacuum provides up to 3,000 Pascals (Pa) of suction at maximum power. This compares favorably to the average robot vacuum, which provides around 2,000Pa of suction. That’s a great apples-to-apples comparison, but keep in mind that this is still a robot vacuum. The average upright vacuum provides a whopping 14,000Pa of power, and many offer even more. That said, 3,000Pa is plenty for everyday household cleaning. It will collect dust, dirt, and pet dander without any trouble. It will even clean up larger messes like rock salt with impressive ease.

但更让人印象深刻的是比T10’s power is its run time. Depending on various factors, it can potentially run for 280 minutes between charges. That’s over 4 ½ hours, long enough to clean any reasonable floor plan. Unless you live in a literal palace, you’re just not going to run out of juice during a single cleaning. And if you somehow do run out, you don’t need to worry. The vacuum will automatically return to base when the battery gets low. Once it’s charged up, it will resume cleaning where it left off.

If you value power above all else, theDreame Bot Z10 Prois another interesting choice. It provides 4,000Pa of maximum suction, which is on the bleeding edge for robot vacuums. That said, this much power takes a toll on the battery. It will “only” run for 2 ½ hours per charge.

The T10’s mopping function is easier to use than most, thanks largely to the oversized, 580ml tank. This provides enough water to clean over 500 square feet of solid floor. Your mileage may vary somewhat depending on how dirty it is. But no matter how you cut it, you’re getting solid performance.

Setup and Everyday Use

您第一次运行T10真空时，它将花费比正常情况更长的时间。这是因为它需要绘制您的房屋。对于此功能，您首先需要下载并安装智能手机应用程序。该应用程序是免费的，并且可以遵循应用程序内说明，很容易设置。之后，您的真空可以绘制您的地板，并将平面图保存在手机中。您甚至可以为多层房屋保存多个平面图，并根据需要在它们之间切换。

As with many robot vacuums, you can use the app to perform many functions. Notably, you can tag particular rooms, and set the vacuum to run on a schedule. You can also mark specific areas as no-go zones for the vacuum to avoid. You can even schedule different rooms at different times, to suit the vacuum to your family’s schedule. If that’s not enough, the app can also integrate with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands.

不幸的是，该应用使我们失望。广告材料显示了具有易于使用的界面的光滑UI。现实有些令人印象深刻。您的房屋的图形表示很难使用，这使得无需区域尴尬地创建。您最好阻止单个房间，您可以从列表中完成。时间表也可能很笨拙，并不总是像您期望的那样工作。几乎感觉该软件没有经过彻底的测试。

If an easy-to-use is what you crave most, take a look at theROIDMI Eve Plus. The app is slick and intuitive, with a low learning curve that makes it easy to master. On the downside, its maximum suction is 2,700Pa, 10 percent less than the T10’s.

Final Verdict

TheUltenic T10 Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum有很多要带来的桌子。它是自我的，它具有大量的吸力，并且可以为Eons提供。它还允许获得令人印象深刻的控制。但是，尽管这是一个非常好的机器人VAC，但如果UI更好，它可能真的很棒。考虑到价格，我们希望在将来的某个时候看到软件升级。
