I am @光年 , a smart home enthusiast, and I have used and evaluated more than a dozen sweeping robots.
Ecovacs During the Spring Festival, the new T10 series was released, the ordinary sweeping and mopping integrated T10 and the self-cleaning T10 TURBO. Of the two models, the T10 TURBO will be the more strategically important one.
The sweeping robot of brand, the upgrade speed obviously cannot keep up with Ecovacs, T9max is still very capable of sweeping and mopping robots in the price of 2K+, and the flagship X1 OMNI is far more expensive than other brands. Sales are also very hot. However, only the automatic washing and mopping robots in the price range of 3.5K-4K, the N9+ of the Ecovacs family is a bit stretched.
This time, the T10 TURBO is here to hit this price range. The configuration is sincere enough, and the technology verified by X1 OMNI is almost moved over there. Compared with the flagship X1 OMNI priced at 5999, it has reduced automatic dust collection, on-board water tank, standard silver ions, and reduced suction power. Other configurations are the same as the X1 OMNI, the latest navigation and obstacle avoidance technology, automatic mop washing, and hot air drying. Dry mop, [OK YIKO] intelligent voice system, 960P starry sky camera, and even follow-up hidden heavy upgrades have not been announced.
directly pulled the price below 4K, entered the price range of Stone G10, Yunjing J2, and Chasing W10, and began to be hard on the front.
The only problem is that the pre-sale was released very early, and the actual delivery will not be available until the end of March. After a lot of work, I finally got the actual T10 TURBO in advance. The configuration on paper has been analyzed, and now let's take a look at the real performance of the real machine. also has additional preferential purchase channels, welcome to like and favorite.If you have any questions that are not mentioned in the text, please leave a message in the comment area.

1. appearance and configuration
2. routine use of performance
3. Special Ability Test
4.Summary and preferential purchase channels
1. Appearance and configuration
The configuration has been mentioned before, and the technology verified on X1 is used.
For detailed parameters, please see the comparison chart of T10 and T10 TURBO I made before:
Then combine the real machine, take a look at the appearance, and introduce the configuration by the way.
The overall shape is pure white,It is relatively simple and atmospheric, and white is also easy to adapt to various home decoration styles. Because the automatic dust collection module is missing, the base station dust collection is much smaller than the base station of the X1 OMNI.
The main unit is still a standard round body, and the top cover is also a suction type for easy access. Raised on the top cover are the dToF navigation and control buttons .
Remove the top cover, the middle part is the dust box, then the red power switch and the wifi button. For the first time to use the network configuration, you need to long press the wifi button to perform.
The front of the host is equipped with a dToF sensor and a 960P starry sky camera. Active obstacle avoidance and video housekeeping functions are implemented here.
Common obstacle avoidance methods include mechanical obstacle avoidance, linear structured light, area array structured light obstacle avoidance, and visual obstacle avoidance. to achieve the best obstacle avoidance performance. The combination of dToF + AI vision carried by the T10 has a good performance in actual obstacle avoidance. You can refer to the detailed evaluation process later.
The back is still the same structure, bilateral brush, strong gathering ability, floating hair glue roller brush, the degree of entangled hair will be reduced, two disc mops,The feel and material feel have been upgraded, thicker, and the color has been changed from pure white to blue-gray, which is more resistant to dirt.
White base station, open at the top and similar to the X1, clean water tank and sewage tank, and a small storage box for brushes and cleaning fluid in the middle.
The back can be equipped with a silver ion sterilization module, which can sterilize the mop and the water tank in the whole process, inhibit the growth of bacteria in the water tank, and realize the ground sterilization and disinfection during the mopping process.
The cleaning rib at the bottom is the place for charging the main unit, washing mops, and drying with hot air. After a long time of use, some dust will still accumulate. When self-cleaning, you need to use a brush for auxiliary cleaning.
2. General experience
In the online evaluation of the sweeping robot, various extreme scenarios will be set to test the cleaning ability and obstacle avoidance ability. I also have some specific tests in the following chapters.
But before the special performance test, I will give a brief introduction to the normal use of the boot.
Because to be honest, in daily household use, no one will use a robot vacuum to clean stubborn stains such as ketchup, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Regular cleaning every day is used to keep the home floor hygienic, heavy stains and corner gaps, or need other tools to deal with separately.
Therefore, this will be a situation in which a normal family uses a sweeping robot on a daily basis. The already reflected links such as rapid map building and routine obstacle avoidance will not be repeated in the following chapters.
Home environment:
The building area of my home is 152 square meters,The area of the suite is about 125 square meters, with four bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms.
The north and south balconies, two bathrooms, and kitchens are not allowed to enter the sweeping robot, and then various cabinets, furniture, tatami occupied area, from several sweeping robots According to the data of the work feedback, the actual cleaning area is only 60 square meters.
5 people + 2 cats live daily. There is not much dust and debris on the ground, and there is a lot of cat hair every day.
Quick map
According to the instructions of Ecovacs, it is unpacking - assembling the machine - equipment networking - building the whole house without installing the mop - installing the mop to clean the whole house, so an order.
The fast mapping mode under dToF navigation is very fast. It takes 8 and a half minutes to build the map in this area of my house. Compared with the pictures, the accuracy of the mapping is still very high.
Daily cleaning
After the drawing is completed, fill the fresh water tank with water, install the mop, and start the first whole house cleaning.
Set a single sweep, suction, and backwash mop frequency are normal.The cleaning trajectory is shown in the figure below. It took 70 minutes to clean an area of 62 square meters, which is basically the same as the data of other sweeping robots, and the cleaning coverage is still acceptable.
The area enclosed by the red frame is the south balcony. When building the map, the dToF scanned it out through the glass. .
The part that hasn't been cleaned is actually the lower left corner of the living room, because I didn't wait for the T10 to be fully charged, so I let it start drawing and working. I built and cleaned the whole house with about 60% of the electricity, and the remaining 15 At the time of % electricity, there is still a little left in the living room that has not been cleaned, so I went back to charge.
During the whole cleaning process, the mop was washed 4-5 times. a small proportion.
Brush and roller brush, basically no tangled hair. The mop after cleaning is also very clean, with no residual stains.
Everyday obstacle avoidance
Everyday home cleaning, the robot vacuum cleaner faces the most large and small furniture. Other scattered objects, it is best to put away, one is more tidy, and the other is not to add extra burden to the sweeping robot.
Table legs and chair legs are the challenges that robot vacuum cleaners have to face.How to get closer to cleaning, avoid omissions, and not get stuck, is the task for T10 to complete.
From the performance around the table legs, the performance is also good, there will be slight touch, but the performance of avoidance and close cleaning is good, enough for daily obstacle avoidance at home .
APP experience
I have used several Ecovacs robot vacuum cleaners before, so there is no obstacle in using the APP, just get started.
The APP function of Cobos is the most perfect brand in the industry. You can set the cleaning times, suction size, cleaning sequence, backwash interval, Drying time, mop water volume out of the base station, continuous sweeping at break points, carpet pressurization, scheduled cleaning and other functions.
The function of the video housekeeper, the accuracy can also be used. It is suitable for friends who have pets at home and are not busy at work. Amuse the cat at home.
3. Special ability test
In addition to regular use, test the key points separately. The mapping and APP have already been reflected in the previous section, so I will not repeat them.
1. Cleaning effect
The current flagship sweeping robot,Although the suction data is different, ranging from 2000pa to 5000pa, but in actual use, it can deal with the use environment at home, mainly floating dust and hair, and the cleaning effect is no problem.
added a little more difficulty, sprinkle some shredded paper shells, cat litter , as well as flour and millet , large particles of garbage, powdery garbage are all there. The hair is not kept alone. There are two ladies and two cats in my house. In the daily use link above, after cleaning, the hair entanglement is not serious.
After T10 passes through once, the granular garbage may be knocked off while brushing, and the one-time cleaning of powder is completed. After the second covering, it is basically cleaned up.
2. Mopping effect
In terms of mopping, the robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for handling heavy stains, especially fresh and sticky wet garbage. The cleaning process will be wiping first and then mopping, so be aware of this. Sweeping robots are not for this job.
For the heavy stain test in mopping the floor, just look at the maximum handling capacity of the model. Don't do this in your own home.
I poured some light soy sauce and Shanxi aged vinegar on the tiles in the kitchen, and called T10 over to clean the area.
The cleaning process is also like I said above,After the first pass, most of it was wiped off, but there are still marks; after the second pass, it can basically be wiped clean, but it is not as clean as I would have to manually clean it.
Moreover, the structure of sweeping first and dragging later will inevitably stain the side brush, and the side brush and roller brush will also be contaminated.
3. Self-cleaning & hot air drying effect
After cleaning the soy sauce and vinegar, the stains on the mop on the right are more obvious. The path just now was probably covered with stains for cleaning.
After the base station is recalled for self-cleaning, you can focus on comparing the cleaning of the mop on the right.
The self-cleaning effect is still good. After cleaning, there is no obvious stain left on the right mop.
The default hot air drying time is 2 hours, and you can set a longer time in the APP, with options of 3 hours and 4 hours.
At present, under the temperature of more than ten degrees in Shanghai, 2 hours of hot air drying can achieve basic drying. The sound of drying is very small and there is basically no noise.
4. Navigation planning and coverage
T10 uses Ecovacs' latest navigation planning technology, dToF navigation, TrueMapping2.0 global precision planning.
dToF navigation is more accurate than LDS laser navigation,The ranging distance is longer, the accuracy is higher, and it is not affected by light.
The mapping speed is very fast. As I wrote in Chapter 2, the mapping took only 8 minutes, and the mapping accuracy is also very high.
The built map is partitioned by itself. You need to edit the map according to your own situation. The merged merge and the split split. For subsequent cleaning, you can set the cleaning sequence and cleaning frequency of each area by yourself. If not, the T10 will start cleaning from far to near by default.
Each area is cleaned along the edges first, and then the Z-shaped cleaning is performed for full coverage. The overall cleaning coverage is good.
But the coverage rate is not 100%. When moving along the edge, the mop cannot be completely attached to the edge, leaving a gap of about 3-5cm on the wall It's an old problem, too.
5. Obstacle Avoidance Ability
The AIVI 3.0 visual recognition technology used in obstacle avoidance, this recognition technology has high requirements on the algorithm, and it needs to evolve while learning.
Capture images through a 960P starry sky camera, and AI performs graphics processing to identify obstacles and avoid them. The propaganda is that it can identify 18 kinds of obstacles such as data lines, socks, shoes, trash cans, dining tables and chairs.
During daily cleaning,There are not too many sundries on the floor of my house, and it is no problem to avoid the performance of tables, chairs, and trash cans.
After I set a more complex environment, I can basically avoid large obstacles, but for low obstacles, the avoidance effect is not good, I don’t know Is it a problem with the height of the camera, or lack of relevant data in the AI database, you need to learn before making progress.
6. Obstacle surmounting ability
The current conventional obstacle surmounting height is basically 2cm, and the same is true for T10.
This is the floor rail of my kitchen sliding door. The height of the rail is also about 2cm. With a mop, there is no pressure to pass.
7. Several special functions
T10 has also moved several special functions from the X1, and the application experience is also good.
Video butler function , supports video whole house cruise, can reach the designated place, can two-way voice and video, the clarity is sufficient, and the accuracy of reaching the designated point is also very accurate.
[OK YIKO] Intelligent Voice Control ，The directly built-in voice control module does not need to connect additional speakers. It can control the T10 to work, adjust parameters, call for cleaning, and query the life encyclopedia by voice.
3D stereo map, T10 can slowly identify the home during the cleaning process, or you can add it manually to generate a 3D map. This function is not only fun, but also has practical value. After generating a 3D map and furniture location, you can directly control the T10 to clean the bottom and surrounding of a specific home, for example: OK YIKO, clean the bottom of the master bed, You can let the T10 go to work under the bed.
Ultrasonic carpet recognition , it will automatically increase the suction power when the carpet is detected when sweeping, and in the sweeping mode, it will avoid the carpet and avoid wetting the carpet.
can be equipped with silver ion sterilization module, can sterilize the mop, water tank and ground in all aspects, and achieve 99% sterilization.
4. Summary
The new T10 TRUBO,As the "New Generation of Ecovacs AI Sweeping and Mopping", it follows a series of the latest technologies verified by X1, with complete configuration and accurate pricing, directly entering the hottest price segment in the automatic washing and mopping competition.
After the actual test and use, the performance of the actual machine is also good enough. Compared with several automatic mopping models from friends, the product is very powerful, and the silver-white appearance is simple and elegant. It is a machine worthy of attention in this price range. type.
Well, that's it for this article. If you have any questions, you can leave a message in the comment area, and you will reply when you see it.
