The T16 Mix Floor Cleaner centers on one-stop cleaning function integration and aims to meet the daily wet and dry cleaning needs of households through systematic innovation. It adopts an innovative split modular structure, with a detachable power source compatible with standalone vacuum cleaners. Combined with various cleaning brushes, it enables free switching between five modes including floor cleaning, vacuuming and mite removal. It also comes with a built-in 800mL solid-liquid separation sewage tank that features one-click emptying, achieving full automation of cleaning and maintenance.
The design team focuses on user experience and conducts in-depth optimization for the cleaner in terms of ergonomics and materials. The cleaner features aerospace-grade torsion spring balancing technology combined with a universal rotating shaft, cutting the force required to operate the handle to only 5N and enabling truly lightweight one-handed 360° flexible steering. It also boasts an ultra-slim 9.85cm body that lies completely flat, reaching deep under furniture.
The T16 Mix incorporates the industry's first AI dual-robotic-arm structural system. It uses rigid and flexible arms that work in synergy to powerfully scrape off tough stains and instantly remove all water residues respectively, achieving a leap in cleaning performance and quick-drying experience. Additionally, it combines an intelligent dirt-sensing system, 23,000 Pa hurricane suction and a high-efficiency self-cleaning and drying system, creating a complete experience cycle from active detection and powerful cleaning to self-maintenance.
Aesthetically, it employs high-end IML in-mold labeling technology, creating a seamless dust-proof matte surface with an integrated one-piece design. It uses a PET body, whose oxygen and moisture barrier properties enhance the cleaner's performance and durability. It also uses design techniques that boost approachability both visually and tactilely, allowing it to blend better into home environments.
