Ultenic T10 Review and Test

Self-discharging robotic vacuums are growing in popularity after they released the Roomba I7 a few years ago.

One reason is the autonomy it brings to the table not having to manually empty the trash for weeks.

Since I7, other brands have been scrambling and unveiling their own releases, and we’ll take a look at one of the More reasonable options here – Ultenic T10. I’ve spent the past few days putting this bot through tests to see how good it is and if it deserves your attention.

Positives

• Large capacity bag holds up to two months from debris (3 liters)
• Decent performance on hard floors
• The unique containment feature that Combines virtual borders and restricted areas
• Navigation is efficient and comprehensive, thanks to the cross pattern
• Not expensive

Negatives

• Excellent performance on carpet
• The base station should be placed on a flat surface
• Floor mopping booths fairly
• You can only save files single map level

Introduction to Ultenic T10 Self-Discharging Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The appearance of vacuum robot vacuums automatically is a reflection of the growing demand for comfort. Since iRobot launched its first self-emptying robot, the i7, other brands have jumped on the bandwagon.

One of them is Ultenic with the T10 model. main selling point Is affordability along with 4.3L extra large bag.

Ultenic says it’s big enough to carry around Wreck cost two months.

The capacity of 4.3 liters is larger than some of its competitors, and they are Ecovacs N8 + Proand Neabot and Horniture Q6.

Ultenic adds more value or money by tossing two extra bags out of the box for a good measure. replacement bags Not expensive Given the size, each package sold comes in three. will spend Less than $20 a year If each bag lasts for two months.

Automatically empty base station

Ultenic T10 is one of the Lowest cost vacuum cleaners for empty robot With smart mobility with one of the largest bags capacities.

There are two types of self-unloading robots, packed and bagless. The one I prefer is rigged because it reduces exposure to allergens to almost zero since the bag seals itself while being pulled out.

However, users The base station cannot be placed on the carpet Due to potential alignment issues due to vertical port positions.

A slight deflection will obstruct the airflow from the robot to the pavement.

The application provides users with several options to deploy the self-discharge feature.

You can choose to empty it after each runAnd every two halvesAnd every three runsor never. It also provides a file Quick access tab in the main interface.

I want to keep things simple, so I’ll stick to emptying it out after each run.

Detects when the bag is full

There is no need to take care of the bags as the T10 has a sensor to check if they are full. Once it exceeds this limit, a light on top of the base station flashes to alert users.

Depending on how often you clean, how dirty or clean the environment is, and if you have pets, each bag should last up to two months.

It will be less if you have pets because pet hair will take up more space in the bag.

2 extra bags

Consumers will get 2 extra bags Out of the box, which besides adding value for money to this robot.

Design

The T10 uses the traditional round frame of the T10 with the laser sensor in the middle.

Two buttons operate the default cleaning mode and docking functions. But you will need to download the Ultenic app to unlock all the features.

At the bottom, this robot has one side brush and a bundled brush, with two rubber wheels surrounding it.

Behind the brush is the dust bin/water tank that also serves as a placeholder for the wiping platform.

litter box design

The T10 trash is rear-loaded, and unlike other robot vacuums and hybrid mops with a separate water tank, this model is integrated with a dust container.

Ultenic does not specify the capacity of the trash, which is irrelevant since it has a self-emptying feature.

If for some reason you need to empty the trash manually, the top-mounted door makes it handy.

It has a triple layer filtration with a HEPA filter to help keep allergens in the trash.

Ultenic app features

The T10 is compatible with the Ultenic app that you can download by scanning the QR code in the manual or this sheet on the robot.

Another option is to search for “Ultenic” on Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Application interface

Ultenic has done an excellent job with its smartphone app, providing a clear and concise interface with easy access to various functions.

Above the map there is quick access to various options such as Area Clean, PowerMop, Room Clean, Area Clean and Spot Clean.

1. clean area: engage the default cleaning mode The robot dumps the entire map.
2. PowerMob: tell the robot Clear the entire map level. You will have to attach a wiping pad for this option to work.
3. The room is clean: Let users Select a room to clean.
4. clean area: This is similar to cleaning a room, but it cleans up the “zones” that you will have to draw on the map.
5. clean spot: pop up box you can Put anywhere on the map Where will the robot clean. Unfortunately, there is no option to change the box size.

Below the map, you’ll see a large arrow button that powers the bot. The green socket icon is the docking function, and prompts the robot to return to the base station.

only one map

Unfortunately, the app Ultenic Only one map level can be saved. I was hoping he would have saved at least two. Other brands like Roborock can provide up to four tiers,

Roomba up to ten levels, that’ With i6 and S9 With automatic empty dock. It’s a little frustrating, but it’s something that can be easily fixed because it’s a software feature.

virtual boundaries

One of my favorite features of the Ultenic app is the containment. Instead of using boxes and lines, they combined the two to create a hybrid containment feature.

Squares are still available, but the option to create complex shapes adds to the usability factor. You can use one zone to block multiple zones.

It’s similar to the area manager feature (see below) in that you can add up to ten corners and manipulate each one to form abstract shapes.

room manager

After the bot plans your house, it automatically adds sections to it based on internal calculations. These divisions are not always accurate, which brings me to the app room manager section.

It enables users to merge or create partitions manually. Depending on the design of your home, you may or may not need to use this, but it’s a good idea to have this option.

At the bottom right of the mop is another quick access area for various functions.

I mentioned in the video review that users can only set the number of plays In the area cleaning sectionbut this was not the case.

It is possible to adjust the number of runs Under the room manager tab.

area manager

The Zone Manager tab has similar functionality to the Room tab. It only cleans an area rather than the entire room.

You can draw up to Ten of these “zones” on the map. One mod that I like is the ability to create more complex shapes. It is possible because users can add up to ten corners to make abstract shapes impossible with other apps.

This feature is a first of its kind and helps with ease of use and convenience since these areas are memorable – there is no need to repaint.

cancel table

Another useful feature of the Ultenic app is the option to schedule multiple rides per day.

Users can set the time and choose the area to clean using the area or room feature.

cleaning log

Shows previous cleanups, including time, area size, and more. If you want to know how much ground this bot has covered, this feature will give you a comprehensive view of it.

Part life cycle

This tab provides heads up for users when replacing (or cleaning) three basic components – the filter, the side brush, and the main brush.

Auto discharge setting

Users can choose to repeat the dump – after every run, after every three runs, after every two rounds, or never.

How Much Energy Does Ultenic T10 Have?

Most robotics manufacturers Use Pascal (or PA) to detect suction. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to measure actual suction numbers on a robot vacuum, so I rely on an anemometer to check airflow through the brush roll.

Here are the results of the Ultenic T10

• Prefix meaning environment: 7.56 cubic feet per minute
• natural: 11.33 cubic feet per minute
• Hyper drive: 14.52 cubic feet per minute

The result of setting HyperDrive or max is decent but below average compared to other brands within the price segment (16.86 CFM).

You can see the effect of below average airflow on our carpet cleaning test (more below), where it wasn’t very good.

cleaning performance

Next, we’ll look at how Ultenic T10 works on different types of debris like quinoa, pet droppings, hair, coffee grounds, sand, and Quaker oats.

• Total: 85.38%
• hardwood floors: 98.7%
• Sand on hard floors: 99.1%
• carpet: 94.15%
• deep cleaning: 49.55%

With one look at the results, you will see the strengths and weaknesses of this bot. She did her best to clean the hardwood floors because she picked up the most on this surface.

hard floor results

• Quaker Oats: 93.2%
• Cafe floors: 100%
• Quinoa: 99.6%
• pet litter: 99.4%

With the exception of Quaker oats, it went viral in the 1990s. One of the reasons why Quaker oats are not cleaned successfully is the side brush. It doesn’t spin as fast as the Roomba but is fast enough to spread out over a wider area.

sand on hard floor

While the T10 performed well on light debris, it struggles somewhat with heavier objects like sand. still He got a respectable 99.1%.but you can see the lack of air flow in the cleaned play.

T10 picked up a large piece of sand, but you can see traces of it afterwards. It’s lower than other brands I’ve tested, such as the Roomba 980 and the Roborock S5 Max.

hair wrap test

I also tested T10 on strands of hair about five and seven inches (one gram) long.

Here’s the result after the five-inch test.

And after the seven-inch test.

• 5 inch hair: 42% Inside the box 58% off the brush
• 7 inch hair: 12% inside the fund; 88% on the brush

It didn’t do well in both tests but was worse on strands longer than seven inches, with most of the hair on the brush.

This experience shows that users will need to detangle the coiled hair on the brush regularly. I don’t recommend this if you have many pets because pet hair may cling to it.

Edge cleaning

Despite the round frame, this robot did well in cleaning the rim. I scattered the leftover coffee, picking up most of it after two tracks.

low pile

• Quaker Oats: 94%
• Cafe floors: 86%
• Quinoa: 99.8%
• pet litter: 93.8%

The results here show that T10 will perform well on light surface debris. However, they struggle with small particles (such as ground coffee) and heavy debris (such as pet droppings). The lack of airflow is the main reason why it doesn’t work well on this surface compared to hardwood floors.

Mid-stack results

• Quaker Oats: 96%
• Cafe floors: 88.4%
• Quinoa: 100%
• pet litter: 95.2%

Next, we’ll look at the results in the middle of the pile, reflecting the numbers on the low pile but a little better. It works well with not-too-small surface debris but not so well with heavy objects.

Deep cleaning results

I checked how well the Ultenic T10 contained inline dirt by rubbing 100g of sand on a medium pile rug. I picked up an average of 49.55%well below average compared to other robotic vacuums.

Combine this with the misalignment of the automatic pavement blank on the carpet due to alignment issues; I cannot recommend this option on this surface.

Scan test results

The Ultenic T10 doubles as a robotic mop thanks to the mopping pad attachment and water tank. They did not specify the capacity of the water tank, but my estimate would be Between 250 and 290 ml.

I tested it on these red wine stains. It’s a benchmark I use to determine how well a robot can mop floors.

You have successfully wiped the stains and removed them all. However, I noticed the bot stopped on several occasions. I think the surface has been wet since I started using a damp pad, but I run similar tests with other bots and don’t see them stopping off badly.

I tried Using PowerMop . setting With dry pad on the surface Without any spots, it was better. So I wouldn’t recommend the T10 on a smudged surface, but only for light wiping.

One of the differences between Ultenic and other brands is that the water tank is combined with the trash can.

It … it electronic water tank So users can control the flow through the app.

But I’ve noticed during many of my tests that water drips onto the floor when not in use. This means that you will have to empty the water tank after each use.

Another drawback is that you will have to move the robot to attach the trash can or pillow due to the location of the port. It’s an extra step, but it shouldn’t be a deal breaker if you don’t need the scanning functionality.

How noisy is the Ultenic T10?

I used a sound meter to measure the noise, and here are the T10 results.

• Prefix meaning environment: 62.6 dB
• natural: 65.0 dB
• Hyper drive: 69.5 dB

It was below 70dB so the noise was bearable, but the auto emptying dock would be louder (above 80dB) when it empties the trash – just head up.

How long does the Ultenic T10 last?

This robot is equipped With Li-ion battery 5200 mAh And they will run up to 280 minutes At the lowest power setting.

But you will need to use at least middle (or normal) mode to get good results, which will reduce this number.

Fortunately, the shorter operating time should not be an issue with the self-discharge feature as well as recharging and resuming. It will resume cleaning after being recharged to the exact location it left earlier.

What comes in the box?

Availability of spare parts

For new brands like Ultenic, one potential issue is the availability of spare parts. Right now, the only place to buy components like the bag, side brush, main brush, and filter is Ultenic’s Amazon. This brand isn’t popular enough to warrant third-party manufacturers sell aftermarket parts, so it’s a wait and see industry.

maintenance

A robotic vacuum cleaner will need a certain amount of TLC to function at its best. And with the amount of money you will be spending to purchase these products, it makes sense to do simple maintenance tasks to ensure longevity.

I will enumerate several components that will need to be cleaned or replaced.

1. main brush: The brush roll is one of the most widely used parts of a robotic vacuum cleaner. Objects such as hair and dust may stick to the bristles or curl around the axles. Check this part once a week to check for any accumulation of debris.
2. Side brush: Another part I offended. Hair tends to curl around the tentacles or base. Clean this part once a week to prevent any unnecessary friction and wear.
3. side wheels: Debris may stick to rubber wheels and damage easy-to-scratch surfaces such as hardwood. Be sure to clean both wheels with a clean microfiber towel – at least twice a month.
4. caster wheels: It’s the part that helps guide the robot. Like the side wheels, contaminants may stick to them. Use a clean towel to clean once or twice a month.
5. Dustbin: Choose to empty the trash after each run to prevent dust mites from breeding inside.
6. filters: T10 contains three filters – mesh, foam, and HEPA. Check these out once or twice a month. HEPA filter is not washable. One way to extend its service life is to tap a hard surface to expel dirt stuck in folds.
7. Sensors: The T10 has an array of sensors around and under it to help with navigation. I won’t touch the laser sensor but I use a handheld vacuum cleaner to pick up as many surface contaminants as possible, but that’s about it. You can use a clean cotton swab and gently rub other sensors such as the bumper, rim, and shelf sensors. Avoid using anything wet as it may short out these electronic components.
8. Automatic unloading station: There’s not much to do here except to make sure the discharge port is clear of any debris. Replace the dust bag as soon as it is full and clean the fan filter if it is dirty.

Does Ultenic T10 Offer Excellent Value?

It will depend on the current price of this model. For now, I’d say yes because it’s one of the less expensive options, and by using the in-store discount coupon, you can save quite a bit more.

Presence Large dust bag 4.3 liters It makes compelling because it’s plenty and can hold up to two months of debris. So technically, you won’t touch anything in this time frame.

Cleaning performance may be better, especially on carpets, but hard floors will be the best surface to use this robot since you can’t store the base station on it.

4 reasons to buy Ultenic T10

1. big bag: A capacity of 4.3 liters is enough and it will contain a lot of dirt.
2. reasonable cost: This model is one of the cheapest smart self-draining robot vacuums.
3. Excellent application experience: One of the underrated aspects of this bot is its application, which offers great user experience and ease of use.
4. Effective Mobility: It goes above and beyond efficiency, and above average obstacle avoidance is another critical factor for me.

Verdict: An affordable vacuum robot on hard floors

While the Ultenic T10 won’t dazzle you with sheer performance, its affordability and massive 4.3L bag make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious shoppers who don’t want to spend more on the Roomba.

It will outperform hardwood floors as it has sufficient airflow over this surface.

There are some features that I didn’t like, which is the inability of the base station to fit on the mat.

If this is not a concern and you want an affordable robot vacuum with self-discharge feature, this robot can be a good choice.
