Roborock U10 smart dual-brush floor scrubber review: a whirlwind of household cleaning with two brushes

People are always conflicted. On the one hand, everyone wants to keep their home clean, but many people are discouraged by tedious housework. This has also led to the rapid rise of smart home cleaning products in the past two years, with sweeping robots being a typical example.

Robot vacuum cleaners have indeed brought convenience to many people's lives, but they sometimes have their own ideas. Even the most advanced products often end up in the wrong place or struggle with obstacles on the ground such as wires. In contrast, semi-automatic products that can be manually controlled are less lazy, but they are more accurate and cleaner.

Roborock, a leading brand in the field of domestic household cleaning robots, recently launched its latest product, Roborock U10 Intelligent Dual Brush Floor Scrubber (hereinafter referred to as "Robot U10"), which simplifies the traditional floor cleaning process of "sweep first and then mop" to sweeping and mopping in one go, and can continuously self-clean during the cleaning process, making the laborious floor cleaning process easy and enjoyable.

Simple appearance, easy control

The stone scrubber U10 is a product that requires manual operation, so before discussing its cleaning performance, we must first see whether it is easy to use.

The bottom of the stone scrubber U10 adopts a double roller brush structure, and the machine body has a detachable clean water tank and sewage tank. The whole machine only needs to be installed with a handle and a charging base. The operation is also very simple, and it can be assembled smoothly by intuition without checking the manual.

The stone floor scrubber U10 looks like an upright vacuum cleaner as a whole, with a slender structure, so it does not take up much space and can be placed in any corner of the house.

There is also a standing bracket on the back of the machine, similar to the kickstand on a bicycle, which can fix the machine when cleaning needs to be paused.

The U10 stone scrubber has a display screen that can display the machine's power, mode, water tank water status and other information, which is convenient for viewing at any time during cleaning. At the same time, the product has a built-in voice reminder function. In addition to broadcasting basic status such as power on and mode selection, it will also promptly remind you when abnormalities such as water tank lack of water, air duct blockage, and brush head stuck by foreign objects occur.

The Stone Scrubber U10 is equipped with a large 5000 mAh battery. It can work for about 35 minutes after being fully charged. It can clean houses under 280 square meters on a single charge, covering basically all common house types.

When the machine is not turned on, the brush of Roborock U10 can still be pushed, but there is still a noticeable sluggish feeling. After turning on the machine, pushing and pulling are very smooth, neither laborious nor difficult to operate because of being too smooth. The brush is connected to the machine body with a hose, so it can be flexibly rotated, allowing it to more flexibly clean small spaces such as around table legs and under the table.

The brush head of the Stone Scrubber U10 adopts a square design, and the roller brush is also designed to be close to the edge, so it has a stronger edge cleaning ability than the round sweeping robot, achieving cleaning without dead ends.

The fresh water tank and sewage tank on the machine can be easily removed by simply pressing the clips. This is also the only step that you need to clean yourself after cleaning is completed.

As a product that requires manual operation, the Roborock U10 is as simple and clear as possible in terms of installation and operation, with basically no learning cost. Even the elderly who do not often use electronic products can easily get started. Overall, the use scenarios of the Roborock U10 are more extensive and flexible than those of sweeping robot products.

Clean with confidence and worry-free

Although the Stone Floor Scrubber U10 is called a "floor scrubber", it is actually an all-round product that can handle both wet garbage and dirt, as well as dry garbage.

The two roller brushes of the Stone Scrubber U10 will rotate forward and backward respectively when working, thus forming an "inward rotation" suction. It is also equipped with a digital brushless variable frequency fan with a maximum speed of 73,000 rpm. The vertical air duct design also avoids the waste of suction to the greatest extent, allowing the Stone Scrubber U10 to easily suck in most dry and wet garbage.

In daily life, paper scraps, food scraps, etc. are probably the most troublesome dry garbage, because these garbage are very small and can be easily missed and blown away by the wind. We prepared scattered foam, paper scraps and other garbage in the test environment, and after using the stone scrubber U10 to mop and wash, we basically achieved "everywhere is clean as new".

Even cleaning up broken eggs is a piece of cake.

Wet garbage cleaning is the "home field" of the Roborock U10. The Roborock U10 adopts a double roller brush design. When cleaning, the two roller brushes will work at the same time to scrub the stains separately, which is equivalent to cleaning twice each time it is mopped, which naturally greatly improves the cleaning ability.

The arrangement of the roller brushes also has a trick up its sleeve. The brush head joint is placed in the middle of the brush head, and most of the weight falls on the two roller brushes, allowing the roller brushes to maintain strong pressure on the ground, further improving the cleaning effect.

The brush head of the Stone Floor Scrubber U10 is also equipped with an intelligent infrared sensor, which can sense the degree of dirtiness of the roller brush by detecting the intensity of light reflection and automatically adjust the appropriate suction force and water volume.

Finally, the Stone Scrubber U10 is also equipped with two high-power motors with a total power of up to 100W and a planetary gear reducer commonly used in automobiles, which provides powerful power for the brush head and can be called a small whirlwind for household cleaning.

We sprinkled cola and coffee in the test environment and let them dry naturally for several hours. At the beginning of the test, the cola and part of the coffee had dried into stains, and a small amount of coffee remained in liquid state.

First, we used the automatic mode for mopping. We could see that the residual liquid and most of the stains had completely disappeared after two or three moppings. We adjusted the cleaning mode to Max mode, and after three or four more moppings, the air-dried stains were also successfully cleaned.

These common stains can be described as a nightmare during daily cleaning. It may even take several times to clean them with an ordinary mop. The stone floor scrubber U10 can bring a qualitative improvement in cleaning efficiency and can be called a savior for household hygiene.

There is another problem that bothers many people when mopping the floor. That is, you need to wait for the floor to dry after mopping. If you start walking on the floor before it dries, you may leave a lot of footprints, or even get your feet dirty again just after mopping. The two roller brushes of the stone scrubber U10 rotate in opposite directions, and the water will be pushed between the two roller brushes and sucked away, so it can basically achieve immediate mopping and drying.

The process of cleaning the mop after mopping the floor is also a troublesome thing that many people are afraid to avoid, and the Stone Floor Washer U10 perfectly solves this trouble.

The U10 stone floor scrubber has a self-cleaning function. The roller brush is equipped with a stainless steel scraper bar. When the roller brush rotates, the scraper bar will scrape off the dirty water, and the water suction tank will continuously supply clean water. After mopping the floor, the roller brush can be almost as clean as new.

After putting the Roborock U10 back into the charging station, you can start deep cleaning, which will clean the roller brush and pipes more thoroughly, so that users don't have to worry about the mop. Since the Roborock U10's self-cleaning function is powerful enough, deep cleaning does not seem to have any obvious effect from the roller brush alone. But the sewage tank still reminds us how terrible the sanitation of the test environment is.

Just like many people don't hate cooking, but hate shopping, cutting vegetables and washing dishes, the most annoying thing about mopping the floor is not the cleaning process, but the tedious throwing, washing and drying afterwards. The U10 stone floor scrubber has higher flexibility, timeliness and accuracy, and simplifies these trivial links to the greatest extent, turning mopping from an annoying housework into a relaxing exercise after meals. From this perspective, it is also a blessing for lazy people.
