Robot vacuums have become a staple in modern households, and the Ultenic T10 Lite model is no exception, offering both vacuuming and mopping capabilities. While robot vacuums have surged in popularity since the debut of the Roomba in 2002, the T10 Lite sets itself apart by providing an affordable, all-in-one cleaning solution. Regularly priced at £259.99, the T10 Lite is currently available for £225, making it a budget-friendly alternative to its more expensive counterparts.
Setting up the T10 Lite is a breeze, requiring minimal assembly beyond removing stickers and attaching the brush. The vacuum comes with a base station for charging and dust collection, which needs to be placed on a hard floor with enough space around it—about 1.5 meters in radius, as recommended.
Once set up, the T10 Lite gets to work by mapping the ground floor. Initially, it may bump into a few obstacles, but it uses sensors to slow down when approaching them, and a spring-loaded bumper prevents any damage. However, it’s important to ensure the floor is clear of any small items like shoelaces or wires to avoid interference.
The vacuum’s mop function is easy to use—simply slide off the water tank, fill it with warm water, and replace it. One convenient feature is the ability to set “no-mop” zones to avoid wetting carpets, and the microfiber mop cloth is removable for easy cleaning and machine washing. The T10 Lite also comes with a spare mop cloth, ensuring long-lasting use.
After nearly a month of use, the T10 Lite has become a regular part of my cleaning routine. It’s a time-saver, allowing me to start cleaning before work and come home to freshly vacuumed floors. However, one downside is that it uses dust bags, which need to be replaced periodically. If you have a busy household, particularly with pets, you may find yourself changing the dust bag every couple of weeks. The bags cost £10.99 for three or £14.99 for six, making them an ongoing expense.
Despite this, the T10 Lite offers excellent value for money, especially for those looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop. For those seeking alternatives without the dust bag requirement, models like the Hoover 2-In-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop and Shark’s self-emptying vacuum may be worth considering, though they come at higher price points—£299 and £449.99, respectively.
In summary, the Ultenic T10 Lite is a solid choice for anyone looking to introduce a smart vacuum and mop system into their cleaning routine without breaking the bank. While the dust bags may be a minor inconvenience, the convenience, ease of use, and dual cleaning functions make this model a standout in its price range.
