Right. Maybe it was the storage bins? Cleaned out both of those, turned on the Mach V1 Ultra again and, Tech issues aside, the Mach V1 Ultra is a compelling and well-thought out product, but it is unlikely to replace your vacuum cleaner in its current iteration. There’s a veritable plethora of cordless vacuum-mops on the market that you can read about in our guide to the best hard floor cleaners, but a steaming function has always been way beyond the scope of battery power. Steam requires a lot of energy to produce so naturally all the best steam cleaners currently on the market are tethered to the mains. And that means wrestling with a cable which is so last century.

With a capacity of 120ml, the tank stores enough cleaning solution for 30 days (*Calculation based on approximately 15 minutes of use per day) of use. According to data from MACH laboratories. Verbraucht nur 4g Reinigungsflüssigkeit bei einem vollen Behälter mit Tesla Valve Mixing. Spart Reinigungslösung im Vergleich zu Alternativen mit 10g pro Behälter. Eufy added what it considers to be a helpful voice feature, intended to guide you through using the vacuum. Like, it lets you know when steam is ready or reminds you to empty the dirty water tank. But for my part, the execution needs work. The robotic voice sounded muffled, like it was coming from the bottom of the vacuum, and combined with a slight accent, I could never understand what it was saying. It might be better if I could change the voice and the speaker was set closer to the user, but as it is, I was glad that I was able to turn it off completely. At 5.7kgs, the MACH V1 Ultra is quite light for an upright and it’s very easy to push around, especially on hard flooring for which it is ultimately designed. There’s an app available, too, but it doesn’t do a great deal in my opinion. Let’s just say I’ve hardly used it. Another big bonus with this machine is its quietness. In fact, at less than 65dB, it’s one of the quietest floor cleaners I’ve ever come across.Because the vacuum does so many things, and the controls are so small, limited to the LCD screen, trigger and mode button, it can get extremely confusing when trying to toggle through the different cleaning modes and turn features like ozone cleaning on and off. According to the specs, if used in Smart mode, the Ultra V1’s built-in battery is sufficient for up to 82 minutes of vacuuming and mopping, and that’s damn good in my book. However, in steam mode it’s only about 15 minutes which I consider more than enough for any areas that need a very deep clean. I started out in Smart Mode, which vacuums and mops the floor at the same time, and is also the V1 Ultra’s default mode. When I gripped the handle intending to push the heavy vacuum across the floor, I was pleasantly surprised when it gently led the way, with minimal effort on my part. And, as advertised, the one-two punch of vacuum and mop was a real timesaver for kitchen tile as well as wood flooring.

This is where the MACH V1 Ultra truly excels. I have a mixture of engineered wood – more robust than laminate – and vinyl and the MACH did an excellent job on both. For my test, I used a variety of inherently messy stuff like tomato sauce and Golden Syrup, a scattering of Coco Pops with milk attached and a good dollop of claggy porridge.

As far as I’m aware, there are no cord-free steam cleaners on the market so the MACH V1 Ultra can be considered the first of its kind. In fact, the steam function is what elevates this product to a whole new category of floor cleaner. Granted, you only get around 15 minutes of steam time out of the battery so if you’re an avid steamer who insists on every floor surface being fully sanitised to within an inch of its life, this might not be the model for you. But if you need a steam cleaner to just do the kitchen, utility room or bathroom, or deal with the odd obstreperous stain, it’s a brilliant feature that you will use a lot and really come to appreciate.

How well does the eufy Mach V1 Ultra clean carpets? 

Long runtime: During both the specific runtime tests and our prolonged use of its 3 modes, it is apparent that it has an incredibly long battery life. Dampferzeugungsapparats beträgt ca. 110°C. Wenn der Dampf an der Düse ankommt, beträgt die Temperatur etwa 100°C. Wenn der Dampf über dem Boden versprüht wird (d.h. bevor er den Boden berührt), beträgt er aufgrund der schnellen Wärmeabgabe bei einer Umgebungstemperatur von 25°C und gefliestem Boden etwa 90°C (gemessen mit einem Infrarotthermometer). Die spezifische Temperatur des Dampfes bei dem Aufsprühen auf den Boden kann hierbei abhängig von der With the V1 Ultra, I had a difficult time just connecting to the Eufy Clean app, and once connected, I found only a handful of maintenance tips and how-to videos. I assumed I would be able to do things like turn JetBlade drying on and off, and that it might be especially helpful for those who have a hard time using the small LCD screen. But no dice. The temperature of steam generation apparatus is approximately 110°C. When the steam arrives at the steam nozzle, the temperature is approximately 100°C. When the steam is then sprayed onto the ground (due to rapid heat dissipation in the ambient temperature), it will be approximately 90°C (depending on the environment). According to data from MACH laboratories. The Mach V1 Ultra is a serious multitasking floor cleaner that saves time and effort by vacuuming and mopping at the same time. Plus, it’s the only one of its kind that is also cordless.

And, with all that suction power, I was surprised the vacuum wasn’t louder. But Mach was one step ahead of me there and the V1 Ultra uses a three-layered noise-canceling technology to keep it at 65 decibels, about the same noise level as a dishwasher. For comparison, Eufy’s Robovac X8, with just 2,000 Pa of suction, has a 60-decibel noise level.
